We also got an early glimpse of battery performance from Intel's incoming Haswell processor: you can expect to glean 10 hours of use in tablet mode, which is on par with many lower-powered tablets already on the market (think: Atom, ARM, et cetera). Factor in a keyboard battery (at least on this reference device) and you can expect an additional three hours of runtime. Unfortunately, there's still no word on when those next-generation low-power chipsets will arrive, although there's plenty of time till the next big PC show, Computex, rolls into Taipei.
Sometimes waiting is good sometimes it means you are always waiting. I pulled the trigger on an RT but I won't get a Pro until the next generation Intel chips are out. Just a matter of priorities and preference.Should we wait to a Haswell Surface Pro with 10 hours of battery life?
I agree! Same motivation led me to also buy the RT.Sometimes waiting is good sometimes it means you are always waiting. I pulled the trigger on an RT but I won't get a Pro until the next generation Intel chips are out. Just a matter of priorities and preference.
You will probably have to wait much longer than that. Announcement may be in June. Release is likely months after.Oh no... i'll have to wait for June.
Microsoft said to be planning next-gen Surface announcement for June | The Verge
Or, you could wait for the Surface 3 to be announced June 2014 and shipped May of 2015. I'm sure the specs will be totally worth itYeah, that makes me kinda sad. I'll be happy with the current gen of the Surface Pro, though. Just have to wait until end of may...
