Microsoft’s Tablet Won’t Be Thrown in the Blender Anytime Soon

Blendtec has already recorded millions of views on YouTube with its attempts to blend popular gadgets, but it appears that Microsoft’s Surface is yet to be placed on the list with devices supposed to be thrown in the blender.

A company spokesperson told Neowin.net that Blendtec currently has many other “higher-ranked” devices on this list, so the Surface has to wait for at least a few more months.

Blendtec has recently tested the iPad mini, the Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire HD in a new video, with all three devices breaking into pieces seconds after they reached the blender.

The Surface, however, is expected to do a lot better thanks to its Vapor Magnesium case, as Microsoft claims that it can withstand very severe shocks and hits, as long as the screen isn’t damaged.

Until the Surface is thrown in the blender, feast your eyes with Blendtec’s latest test involving three other popular tablets.

Solid magnesium is very stable, but magnesium powder is reactive and extremely flammable, which might have something to do with them declining.
