One of the problems that users of Microsoft tablets complained about the most was their short autonomy. They were computers that were very difficult to get more than 5 hours of constant use and that "angered" many of their owners and stopped potential buyers looking for a mobile device. This could come to an end according to the latest rumors. It seems that the Surface 2 will come with the option of a keyboard with extra battery called Power Cover.
Now that both the team with Windows RT 8.1 as the Pro team with Windows 8.1 Microsoft have been seen in different leaks, it is perhaps time to talk about their accessories.
Autonomy of a whole working day
According to Neowin sources, a new keyboard case has been finalized that will provide battery for greater autonomy. It is estimated that autonomy could be extended up to a whole day working in combination with the Surface Pro 2, which is also helped by the energy efficiency of the Intel Haswell processor it will use.
With this we understand above 8 hours that a working day lasts perhaps reaching 10. The name that is being considered is Power Cover and it would be compatible with the two new devices. Power Cover would work also with the previous Surface Pro, but not with the first model with Windows RT.
Thus, all of these would have a third option, in addition to the previous Touch Cover and Type Cover. Yes, his design will be quite rigid compared to the other two keyboard covers.
It is believed that its launch will not occur until the Surface Pro 2. The full Windows 8.1 tablet will go on sale a couple of months after the version that uses only the Metro-based applications.
Surface 2 will possibly arrive in the next month of October, but as it happened last year, we would not see its older sister until Christmas.
