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).

You'll have options like standard USB 3.0 on fanless Thinkpad Helix2. Anything thinner will likely use micro-USB 3.0 as seen on Galaxy Note or the new reversible Type C USB 3.0.

I hope that thing gets adopted by everyone, FAST!

2016's phones should be using this.
