Chart-topping rapper Dizzee Rascal has collaborated with Microsoft to launch their latest tablet, revealing a super-sized Surface 2 tablet.
The Dirtee Disco and Fix Up, Look Sharp singer, who has worked with the likes of Calvin Harris, was dwarfed by the giant 27x17ft Surface 2 in London's Trafalgar Square.
Microsoft launched the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 as it seeks to take on Apple, Google, Amazon and Samsung in the booming handheld computer market.
The latest incarnations of the Surface tablets were unveiled in New York last month, at which Microsoft promised improved processing power, battery life, display and camera quality over the first generation versions.
The company has also redesigned the tablet's Kickstand, which allows it to be propped up, saying it is more comfortable to use on your lap or at a desk.
Dizzee Rascal - real name Dylan Mills - said: "I'm never in one place for long - whether it's in the studio, on tour, I'm always travelling about and now I can combine work and play on one device - works for me."
Ally Wickham, from Microsoft, said: "We're really excited to be collaborating with Dizzee Rascal on the Surface 2 launch; he is a real inspiration for what can be achieved when you go out there and get more done.
"The Surface 2 is designed to work with you to achieve, connect and compile your personal and work worlds."
Both tablets are on sale now.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
