Microsoft continues slogging on with their Surface range of tablets as reports show that Microsoft are currently working on 3 new Surface tablets. Surface Pro 2 will be the Intel Haswell refresh of the current Surface Pro while the Surface 2 will be the revamp (hopefully replacement) for the Surface RT tablet. The third Surface tablet looks to be something in the 7-inch to 8-inch range as it will be named the Surface Mini. Perhaps Microsoft is getting impatient for other manufacturers to come out with their 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablets and is working on a reference design. However, if the Surface Mini gets priced much higher than the others but has the same tech specs this won't serve Microsoft very well.
So far, tech specs and features for the Surface Pro 2 include 4GB / 8GB storage, the aforementioned Intel Haswell Core i5 processor, 2 hours extra battery life and nearly exactly the same design. We're hoping Microsoft have learnt their lesson with the Surface RT and will improve with the Surface 2, but we wouldn't put it past Microsoft to continue slogging a Windows RT that no one wants. No Malaysia release dates or pricing just yet, but we continue to hope that Microsoft will price their Surface tablets realistically if they intend to penetrate the maturing tablet market.
