It has been revealed that Microsoft is planning to up it’s game in the tablet domain. The original Surface RT tablet was launched in October last year and hasn’t quite lived up to expectation. In fact, it’s been something of a flop. However, the follow up, the Surface Pro has been more promising.
The main reason for the lack of sales doesn’t seem to be the software or the tablet itself, but the intense competition. Microsoft entered the tablet market later than its main rivals, Apple, Samsung and Google. The iPad, Nexus and Galaxy Tab have all proven to be big hitters and a favourite with consumers.
Now, Microsoft is reportedly planning on showing who’s boss with a successor to the Surface Pro. It’s thought that the tablet, or possibly two tablets (both a 7-inch and 9-inch are rumoured), will be revealed at the Build Developer Conference early next week.
So, it’s thought that the Surface Pro 2 and Surface Mini will both run on the latest version of Windows OS and be powered by Intel processors. This all sounds positive, but is it enough to compete with the likes of Apple, which is releasing an iPad Mini 2 in the near future.
