The news about Microsoft is very strong on this Monday. Those in Redmond are sending out invitations to the press for an event that will take place on September 23 in New York where They will present the new Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2. In recent days, the leaks on both teams have intensified and it seems that it will not take long to measure their veracity.
We are close to one year after the first tablets of the American company were presented. Predictably this fall will be the time when the second generation would arrive and the symptoms and steps are coming.
In the last two weeks, we have learned that the model with Windows RT 8.1 would be renamed just Surface 2, we saw him making a record in the benchmark of GFXBench and today a good part of their specs.
From Surface Pro 2, the full Windows 8.1 model, we've had a leak of specs last week, and in recent days we have been told about its accessories, which include a keyboard cover that provides extra battery, the Power Cover, and a station with numerous ports to increase its connectivity, the Surface dock. The first of these accessories will work for all models and generations of these tablets, while the second will only work for the two generations of the Pro model.
In both models we would find one processor upgrade. In the case of the RT model, we would go to the latest generation of Nvidia chips, Tegra 4. In its older sister, the Haswell family of processors with fourth-generation cores would begin to be used.
We also know that in both cases the design will not be modified too much, but that the foot that gives support will have two positions: one to write more at ease and another for viewing content.
We have also known that the most basic model could arrive in white.
All these leaks will be put to the test during that event of which we will tell you all the details here on Tabletzona.
