Microsoft to unveil Surface RT 2 and Surface Pro 2 tablets on September 23rd

MS Surface 2 invite

Rumours pointing to a second generation range of Microsoft Surface tablets have been starting to mount up recently, and so of course the logical response from Microsoft has been to confirm them by sending out invites to a special Surface event.

Whether Microsoft used the day before Apple’s event as an attempt to steal some limelight or not, the invites went out to tech press, highlighting a Surface event in New York City on September 23rd. Unlike its main rival however, Microsoft isn’t being coy and using pretty pictures and tantalising taglines; the invite text is written on the screen of a Surface tablet and the Surface branding is right there – no prizes for guessing what the event is going to be about.

We’re expecting to see both Surface tablets overhauled with second generation models of both unveiled at the event. The new Surface RT will simply be called the Surface 2 and will feature Nvidia’s super-fast quad-core Tegra 4 processor, 4GB of RAM and a Full HD 1080p display, according to Neowin.

The design will remain much the same, although Microsoft has reportedly improved the kickstand to be more manoeuvrable and sturdy with a two-stage construction. We’re also told that a new white model will join the original black one and there will also be new keyboard docks and covers to boot.

Following the September 23rd event the new tablets should launch in stores late October, running Windows 8.1 out of the box. The new 8.1 software will also launch in October as a free update for those running Windows 8 already on laptops, desktops and other devices.

  3. After I initially commented I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments
    are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added
    I get 4 emails with the same comment. Is there an easy method you are able to remove me
    from that service? Many thanks!

    Be careful with online stores asking for too much information. You only need to provide a store with your name, address and payment information. You should never give your social security number or driver’s licence number to an online store. Choose another store if you are prompted for personal information when ordering a product.

    Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just
    your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
    Nevertheless think of if you added some great graphics or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!

    Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this website could definitely
    be one of the best in its niche. Amazing blog!

  6. Check out my other article about imvu or go to for
    more information. On some of the articles you
    submit, you might only get performance payments. This also happens to be
    a violation of the terms of service that everyone is supposed to
    read when they sign up for an account with IMVU.

    I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
