thumbnail Reports: Surface 2 will get a Haswell upgrade
Sep 4th 2013, 18:24, by Mark Hachman

If an upgraded Surface tablet with an Intel "Haswell" processor and more RAM is what you've been waiting for, then good news: reports released Wednesday claim those changes are in the works.

Both Neowin and WinSuperSite published reports confirming that the upgraded Surface will include a fourth-generation Core i5 as well as an additional 4GB of RAM, for a total of 8GB. So far, that's all that the new tablets supposedly offer, except for a new kickstand with not one, but two positions.

WinSuperSite's Paul Thurrott noted that the shift to Haswell will tack on some additional battery life, for a total of seven hours. That's good news for Surface fans, as the five hours that the original Surface Pro claimed seemed overly optimistic under normal use.

Neither site divulged pricing details, although they said that the new Surface tablets are expected to be priced at around the same as the current Surface tablets. The Surface will look the same as the existing model, the sites reported.
