Another Report Claims Microsoft Will Reveal New Surface Pro Device Which Is Both Bigger And Thinner Than Surface Pro 2

Yesterday, we reported that Microsoft will reveal a new Surface device with large screen size than the current models. The device will come with lots of internal spec options starting from Core i3 which will cost $799 to Core i7/512GB model which will cost $1949. Today, Winsupersite also reported that Microsoft will reveal a bigger display size Surface device at Tuesday’s event.

Sources tell me that Microsoft plans to launch a new Surface Pro model on Tuesday that is both bigger and thinner than the current Surface Pro 2. Beyond that, I don’t have too many new details, but I’m wondering whether the new device is an additional model and not a replacement for Surface Pro 2.

Along with the new Surface Pro device, Microsoft will also reveal the rumored Surface Mini:

• No built in Kickstand
• An accessory cover will work as a kickstand
• Likely to be available in Silver, similar to the Surface 2
• ARM based device (Windows RT)
• Ships in June
• 7.5-inch device
• 1440 x 1080 display
• 4:3 aspect ratio similar to iPad (unlike 16:9 Surface & Surface Pro)
• Active Pen support (similar to Surface Pro)
• Ships by end of June

From earlier reports it is likely that the Surface Mini is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, differing from the Surface 2 which is based on the NVIDIA Tegra processor. It is likely other specifications will match with the Surface 2 and the Surface Mini will come in 32GB/64GB variants and with 2GB RAM. It is unlikely the first version of the Surface Mini will have LTE support at launch, and it will likely come in the future.
