Microsoft is preparing to launch its next-generation tablets at an event in the US on September 23rd. They have sent press invites to the media today, asking them to save the date for a Surface event. After the not so good sales of the first iteration of the surface tablets the company believes it will make a hit with its Surface 2and Surface Pro 2 tablets. Both will act as refreshed versions of the existing Surface RT and Surface Pro models.
More rumors indicate that the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 will include a two-stage kickstand,but the main design of both tablets will remain very similar to the models we already know. The Surface Pro 2 is expected to have Intel’s new Haswell processor, and the company is planning to ship units with 8GB of RAM on board. This means with Has well upgrade we expect a big improvement on the battery life on the Surface Pro 2, but not drastic, as rumors indicate that only 2 hours will be the added time.
