Microsoft Surface 2nd generation tablets being prepped for June
It doesn’t seem that long ago since the first Surface tablets
released and we have now heard that Microsoft Surface 2nd generation
tablets are now being prepped for June. Sources from the supply chain
in Taiwan have stated that the new tablets will be announced at the
Build Developer Conference from June 26 to 28.
It’s fair to say that the original Microsoft Surface
didn’t exactly wow consumers and only achieved around half of the
expected sales of 3 to 4 million so far. Sales of the Surface RT number
around 1 million, with the Surface Pro
achieving only half of that. Sources claim that Microsoft is producing
7 to 9-inch tablets in quantities of between 1.5 and 2 million units.
We recently told how smaller-sized 7 to 8-inch tablets such as the iPad mini and Google Nexus 7 are taking over
the tablet market so this may be a wise move on Microsoft’s part. It’s
also expected that Windows Blue (an update to Windows Phone) will
launch at the Build Developer Conference. This should bring many
improvements including the device being able to boot direct to the
desktop.
As well as this we’re informed that the next wave of Microsoft
Surface tablets will have Nvidia and Intel chipsets so it’s possible
that Microsoft may use the Tegra 4. At present Microsoft is expanding
sales of the existing Surface tablets to more regions including
Malaysia, Mexico, Korea, Thailand and others. Therefore although
Microsoft is being cautious over the initial production of the
next-generation Surface tablet it will be hoping to revise those numbers
upwards.
We’d like to know your thoughts on this news. Are you a fan of the
current Microsoft Surface and look forward to what the next will have to
offer? Maybe you think Microsoft would do better to give up on the
Surface? Let us have your comments on this.
