Microsoft sends out invites to Surface 2 press event Microsoft has sent out invites for a press event where they will unveil the new generation of Surface tablets.
There were no other details given about the event but the invite itself shows off a cartoon version of the tablet along with a Type Cover.

The new Surface Pro is expected to have a display higher than 1080p, an Intel Haswell processor for extended battery life and efficiency, and 8GB of RAM. The new lower-end Windows RT will have a 1080p display, a Tegra 4 quad-core processor and be available in white and black colorways.

Each will ship with Windows 8.1 variants, and there will also be a new "Power Cover," a Type-cover with a built-in battery that should extend the tablet into an all-day device.
