Funky Gadget: Microsoft Surface Pro 2 officially unveiled with Windows 8.1

The Microsoft Surface Pro 2 has been designed to compete with even the fastest Ultrabooks like the Samsung Series 9 and the MacBook Retina Display.

Microsoft has unveiled the Surface Pro 2, the next incarnation of Microsoft’s Windows 8 tablet range sporting fourth-generation Intel Core i5 processors, 4 or 8GB of RAM and Windows 8.1 straight out of the box.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 2 has been designed with two key areas to improve, the performance and the battery life, so you’ll get the latest Intel i5 processor along with an increased battery performance of over 60 per cent compared to the original Surface Pro.

It also comes sporting a new 1080p Full-HD ClearType display which means significantly improved colour reproduction along with improved sensitivity for use with the Pro Pen.
