Microsoft Surface Pro 2 Release Date Announced and Key Features Revealed

The Microsoft Surface Pro 2 grabbed attention since its release on October 22, 2013. Its design kept the sleek look of the first Surface Pro but packed in better hardware. We were excited to see how it would improve daily tech life, from browsing the web to streaming movies in HD.

Let’s be real, tech can get old fast. Knowing that Microsoft promised to support Surface devices for at least four years built confidence in our purchase. Even though updates ended on April 10, 2018, performers still swear by its longevity.

What hooked us? The value for money. The Surface Pro 2, especially its 128GB model priced at $999, was a solid competitor in the market. We were thrilled by its new features like the improved ClearType Full HD display.
