Microsoft Unveils New Tablet Lineup (MSFT)

Microsoft (MSFT) announced that it will be adding two new tablets to its popular “Surface” line.

The Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 will be the latest additions to Microsoft’s product line as the firm looks to strengthen its footprint in the tablet world that has long been dominated by Apple (AAPL). The new tablets will feature a number of hefty upgrades like improved performance, increased battery life, better camera and screen resolution and a dual kickstand that allows for two unique positions.

Pre-orders for the two new devices will go live tomorrow morning and the tablet will be available in 22 countries.

Microsoft shares were down 5 cents, or 0.15%, at Monday’s close. The stock is up over 22% this year.
