But it is fully portable as it has a battery so its a huge tablet.
Larger screen for the next Surface

Fully Portable is debatable, these AiO are also referred to as Tabletop Computers,...designed to move from room to room vs. to Starbucks.But it is fully portable as it has a battery so its a huge tablet.
Sony has the Tap20, Lenovo has 2 or 3 versions and then there is the Dell XPS 18...battery life is typically under 4 hours

Ha that reminds me of this:
I always wanted one as they looked so cool. But Portable? Really? As Jeff said they can move from room to room, but you could hardly get it out on a flight to do some last minute changes to a document before the big meeting!

Now that would be really cool!!! If the fit and finish is like the iMac, coupled with a Surface Pro 3 or x (or whatever it is when the AIO comes out), and a high-end Win 10 phone...that would be an excellent set up!

I wouldn't want a Surface with a larger screen size - the point of having the SP3 is easy portability. Larger size and heavier weight would kill that.

I like this size, great for portability. If I needed it larger, I could connect a monitor or use the wireless adapter to see it on the TV.
So for traveling, I currently can not see a need for a larger monitor.
Soon as Microsoft convinces 3rd party programmers like Adobe to switch to the vector User interface, the happier we all will be.

I see that size does matter for some people. I like the size of the SP3. I think it's a great size compromise for use as a tablet. I'm a bit of a dreamer and I can see the day when a screen will unfold into something four times the carry around size. When I'm at my desk at work or at home, I just drop it into my docking station and use a USB wireless mouse and keyboard with a 24" screen.

Dell XPS M2010 - actually a really good media center - 20" screen, 8 speakers and subwoofer, inbuilt tv tuner, top loading disk drive etc. Was released as a Windows XP with Media Center portable AIO, still costs quite a bit 2nd hand haha.

Maybe what needs to be on the market is large screen portable monitor that can be battery operated, is hd, has wireless and usb connections besides hdmi and light weight.
Just a thought.

That is correct, and since the next version will only differ in the CPU, that should be very easy to accomplish. However, there is also a plan for a 14" version that will be compatible with all accessories but the dock (for obvious reasons), and the SP3 type cover will look a little funny.
There is???? You're putting faith in the DigiTimes story?
