10 Significant Microsoft Moments Of 2013
#10 Second Generation Surface tablets
Surface Pro, the high-end version of the Surface RT proved to be a success. Released in the Jan of 2013 it benefitted from this later release which meant more polished and bug-fixed software and better hardware in the heart of it. This encouraged Microsoft to further work on these tablets and release two more second generation models this October. The Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 serve as flagship devices for Windows 8.1, and with the new Haswell chip from Intel it overcame one of the major drawbacks of the first-gen models which was bad battery life. But only time will tell if Windows has enough apps and community support to make it a success that Microsoft so badly needs.
