Surface 2 and Surface Pro were released a few months ago and so far we have no official sale numbers. But no matter because there are already leaks about Surface 3 and Surface Mini that Microsoft is planing to launch during this year.
First to launch will be Surface Mini, it is expected sometimes in the first half of this year. Microsoft is looking to compete with the iPad Mini and a lot of 7 or 8 inch Android tablets that are already on the market. It's still unknown will the Surface Mini come with the Pro version and full Windows 8 or will they just release the Windows RT version.
Al tho we don't know the number of Surface 2 units sold, no one can deny that this is a powerful and well build tablet. Only major criticism was the lack of apps compared to the competition. So much is expected from Surface 3 which we expect later this year. No details were officially released but there is a number of tweets hinting what the Surface 3 tabled could look like.
These are some of the features that are expected:
-Nvidia's Tegra K1 chipset to power Microsoft's Surface 3 tablet.
-The firm might be working on Surface Mini and LTE versions of Surface 2.
-InstantGo support to arrive with Windows 8.1 OS' first update for Intel's BayTrail+ chips.
-AMD's Mullins CPU to be used in Xbox TV instead of Microsoft's own designed chip.
-Company's plans for Microsoft Notebook is currently on hold.
