Steven Sinofsky, President of Windows at Microsoft, is using the Surface tablet as a skateboard to demonstrate its sturdiness.

Sinofsky tweeted a couple pics of the test saying, "Couldn't resist taking it out for a spin...".

As the making of video reveals, Microsoft is using magnesium as the metal for the tablet.

Notably, using a tablet as a skateboard is not a new idea. Back in 2010, Fuel TV added wheels to an iPad to find out "Will It Shred?"

And by the way, even though a surface tablet is much better than my ten Ipads, I wiil continue buying from Apple. Remember I would buy even shit in a stick with the name of Apple in it.
