this is dan seifert with the verge and we are looking at the new microsoft surface pro 2 tablet that was just announced today from the outside the pro 2 looks virtually the same as the pro from last year it's the same size roughly the same weight about the same thickness it's still the magnesium material that was maybe four but under the hood microsoft has made a ton of improvements they've increased the are upgraded the processor to a new Haswell processor which offers better for performance but most importantly up to 75 percent better battery life according to their claims so this really is a much more powerful longer-lasting device than before the screen it says to have forty-five percent better color accuracy than last year's model but it is still a 1920 x 1080 p panel the other major thing that's different here is with the kickstand in the back like before it's got a first-stage kickstand that allows you to prop it up on a table but the new surface pro 2 allows you to adjust that kickstand to its second stage so it's more comfortable when you're using on your lap or microsoft says that people who are taller are still going are going to be able to use it easier but overall it feels very similar in your hands it's very well-built very solid very professional feeling of a device microsoft will be selling this starting on october twenty second with prices starting around 899 but you can place pre-orders for it starting tomorrow
