I really love the new features and especially the new docking station for the Surface Pro 2. I already wrote about how I am using my Surface Pro daily for work and school and now this release makes it even better for me. The only thing which would it make the perfect device for me would be if it had a larger screen.
With the new setups I am not really sure which one will be the perfect machine on the road. The Surface 2 now gets better performance, USB 3.0, Full HD display, better battery life, and of course it’s already lighter and smaller than the Surface Pro. So this could make the Surface 2 the perfect machine but the Surface Pro still offers the some unique features like the digitizer pen, more performance, more Storage, more RAM, Intel CPU which allows you to run Hyper-V and now the awesome new docking station. So it’s going to be a difficult decision but I really happy with the updates Microsoft delivered to the Surface lineup today.
