Surface Pro 2 has just been announced and, surprisingly, Microsoft haven?t chosen to go with a Y-Series low-TDP Haswell CPU for a thinner design. For the time being the Tap 11 remains the thinnest and lightest Haswel-based tablet. What Microsoft have done is gone for processing power and lots more battery life, largely enabled by a keyboard cover with a 30Wh battery inside. There?s a brand new docking station too which seals its position as a professional tablet. Size and weight doesn?t change and price starts at $899.
