Microsoft launched both of its next-generation Surface 2 tablets Monday, promising significant improvements in performance, graphics and battery life on both the Surface 2 and the Surface Pro 2.
As expected, Microsoft also announced seven peripherals, including a Power Cover and a new docking station, which gives the Surface the power of something close to a workstation PC, according to Panos Panay, the Microsoft vice president in charge of the company's tablet efforts.

"Surface has been one of the best products that Microsoft has ever built," Panay told attendees at a New York launch event, adding that Microsoft is making its tablets even better. "Reinventing the wheel is not the goal. Making it better is."
Surface will cost $449, available in 32GB and 64GB configurations. Surface Pro 2 will come in 64GB and 128GB configurations with 4GB of RAM and 256GB and 512GB configurations with 8GB of RAM, beginning at $899. A new Touch Cover, Touch Cover 2, will cost $120, and a new Type Cover will sell for $130.
