Its still too expensive... Release an i3 model with lower specs or an APU model from amd with lower specs... Get that price down to $500 without going into ARM or Atom CPU's then u can start selling

How is it for gaming ?

The original Surface could run Batman:Arkham Asylum so this one could probably run BF3 or the equivalent in games. I would get one if I had the money. Would be perfect for work.

Hah, cause it's a total ipad killer (*sarcasm*). By that picture alone, if someone photoshopped "Macbook" instead of surface and the apple logo over the windows..window logo, i'd totally believe this was an apple design. 

My surface pro is great. Will upgrade when the time is right.

Really awesome products these. My surface outperforms every tablet for media function and speed. And competes with top end laptops as well. Awesome.

I love my Surface Pro and this new model seems to fix some of the problems the original has like the kick stand angle, battery life, speaker power and hopefully with the new haswell it will run cooler.

As a very portable laptop is a great product but as a tablet is very poor since is on the heavy side, runs hot, and the app store for win8 is gargabe compared to iOS or Android BUT if you manage to install Bluestacks (tricky to make it work on the Surface Pro) you get a very good Android emulator.

So Pro 1 should drop into the RT price bracket and RT should be phased out? That way MS doesn't have a gimped sku on the market any more.

Those are nice improvements. I thought the Surface Pro would be really nice with a Haswell (called Core Ix in the market), and sounds like it is. (The Next Chip will be called Broadwell, using a smaller 14nm fabrication process, which should be somewhat more powerful, and significantly more efficient. Then a major upgrade with Skylake in 2015 or later.)

The Surface 2 compares to the ipad.
The Surface Pro compares to a MacBookAir or a very nice laptop. I would say it's better than most desktops out there too.

And theses still get a free year of Xbox Music.

Intel thinks them up!  They have a whole list.

They come in pairs, the first one being the change in architecture, the second one begin an upgrade in the manufacturing to a smaller process, which in theory makes them use less power and less expensive silicon as they can fit into a smaller space.  They are still calling them 'Core Ix' in the market, but the give way is '3rd generation', '4th generation' and stuff like that.

last few:

Sandy Bridge (New Architecture) 2011 32nm

Ivory Bridge (Die Shrink) 2012 a better Sandy Bridge 22nm

Now:

Haswell (New Architecture) 2013, still 22nm

Broadwell (the next one, upgrade in a smaller manufacturing process 14nm.) estimated 2014.  Basically a better version of the Haswell.

Note average human blood cell is about 6000 - 8000 nm.

I want a Surface 2 Pro.
Just not with Intel Decelerator graphics. :(

I do need a new Hybrid Laptop/Tablet though, my several year old Intel Atom one is like pulling teeth speed wise.
