There are going to be a lot more thinner Windows 8/10 tablets be coming out in the future with the new Core M CPU.

I am just wondering What will happen to the USB 3.0 ports on Windows 8 tablets(Core M)?

I hope they make a smaller USB 3.0 on the tablet itself because it will be annoying having to get the keyboard dock to connect something to the USB 3.0(which is in the keyboard dock).

USB 3.1 will use a new smaller connector. If we're lucky companies will start selling keyboards and mice with the new connector, but come with an adaptor for old systems.

Main reason I purchased Win TW801 is because it has the regular size USB 3.0. Keeps it simple that way.
