Move over iPad, Microsoft set to unveil Surface 2
NEW YORK -- Apple isn't the only tech giant with a big announcement this month. Microsoft is planning to unveil its new Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 tablets at an event in New York Sept. 23.
Analysts say the new tablets will feature a two-stage kickstand, but the main form factor of both new tablets is expected to be very similar to that of the current models. However, they will likely feature better processors, a better battery life, and a larger display.
Microsoft recently cut prices across the Surface Pro lineup by $100 in the hope of increasing sales.
The 64GB and 128GB versions of the tablet now cost $799 and $899, respectively.
No word yet on when the new tablets will hit store shelves.
