Microsoft has celebrated the launch of the Surface 2 tablet in style this week. The company hosted a London event in which Dizzee Rascal got to grips with a giant version of the company’s latest device.

The rapper was dwarfed by the huge tablet, which measured in at 27 feet wide and 17 feet high. The much more manageable version of the device is on sale today, starting at £329 for the standard version and £719 for the Pro version.

The celebrations don’t stop there though – Microsoft has roped in the ‘bonkers’ artist (ha ha we’re so funny), for a secret performance tonight. You can get involved and score tickets by Tweeting #giantsurface.
