Users of a Surface Pro, Surface Pro 2 or Surface Pro 3 may want to check their device’s power cord out, after Microsoft initiated a recall of the cords sold with devices. Here’s how to get a replacement for the faulty cord.

We’re pretty sure at this point that we won’t be seeing Jay Cutler – the Chicago Bears’ quarterback – anytime soon in a Microsoft TV ad. The highest paid player in NFL right now, commenting on the Microsoft Surface Pro 2, chose the words “knockoff iPads” to describe his impressions of the device. So much for Microsoft touting the tablet as one the most productive and professional tablet in the world.

The Microsoft Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 have seen the light of the day, and as any other company would do, the Redmond technology giant is all about marketing and promoting the new hardware, to make sure that they become a true success. We’ve seen a lot of marketing ploys in the past as well – and not just from Microsoft, either – including Google’s Android statues and Apple’s TV ads. However, never once have we seen anything like what Microsoft has done in London’s Trafalgar Square, where the company has placed a 27 feet wide and 17 feet tall mockup of the newly-released Surface 2, all in the name of good marketing.

We already know that Microsoft is committed to prove themselves as a hardware company. The introduction of the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 in New York last month pretty much confirmed that the Redmond based company aren’t planning on licking their original Surface wounds and shying away from a competitive market. October 22nd is the date that was given during that dedicated event, and as the launch date gets ever closer, we are now seeing some Surface 2 promotional videos that show consumers exactly what they’ll be getting if they part with their hard earned dollars.

Microsoft has just showcased the new Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2, as well as announcing details on features, price and general availability. Here, we take a look at the accessories the Redmond company will be releasing to accompany the experience, including improved docks and innovative cases.

Microsoft has finally lifted the lid on the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2, the latter of which the company is touting as “the most productive, professional tablet in the world.” Although the original Surface range may not have made the kind of impression that the software maker had hoped, the Surface Pro proved itself more than worthy of a second shot, and with the Surface Pro 2, the Redmond has certainly not been shy with improvements. Details of both can be found right after the jump!

Microsoft’s Surface tablet may still be a relatively new device to market, but already the company is looking ahead to the Surface 2, and with speculation having been on and off for the past couple of months, including a set of leaked Surface Pro 2 specs in the last few days, the company has officially announced an event in New York on 23rd September. Details after the break!

Microsoft’s Surface Pro tablet mightn’t have caused the level of fuss that the Redmond company was hoping for, but there’s no doubting that it is a very capable device. Offering the Windows experience as the software maker intended, the tablet-plus-notebook has almost hit the end of its shelf life some nine months after its initial release, and with IFA now underway, talk of its successor has been rife. Today, Neowin has gotten hold of some interesting details pertaining the Surface Pro 2, which will get the customary spec bump as well as a newly-designed kickstand. More information can be found after the leap!
