The
recently launched Surface Pro 2 has been making a lot of rounds in the
media and market because of the hype associated to it. Microsoft has
been taking a pride in its newly launched gadget. However, the company
already found a loophole in it and it has now upgraded the processor of
Surface Pro 2 silently.

This news has been reported by WinBeta. When the
device was launched, it had huge expectations at the market but in
December 2013, its performance was below par and this must be one major
reason why the company wanted to upgrade its processor to make it more
credible at the market.

All the existing users are now
going for the upgrade since it will give a finishing touch to the
Surface Pro 2. Some of the users were so annoyed with the performance of
Surface Pro 2 that they returned the gadget after using it for some
time. This was taken as a shock by Microsoft and they started working on
the upgrading of processor. The developers went deep into the nature of
the problem and found out that the problem lied in the performance of
its processor. It processor has now been upgraded to i5 4300U processor
which is clocked at 1.9 GHz-2.5 GHz.
The processor update has been
finally confirmed by the developers of Microsoft after being poked by
the media. However, they have not explained the reason for the upgrade.
It is quite understandable why they have not stated the reason for
upgrade, given that the previous version of Surface Pro 2 was serving
very bad performance and it had been given back by most of the clients.
If Microsoft releases such a statement, it would be a blot on their
image and their product’s reputation in the market so the company has
silently upgraded the processor of the device.
Microsoft has been regular in
bringing out little changes to all its products during their life cycle.
There are an ample of factors that contribute to the changes namely
supply chain partnerships, availability and the value that they give to
the customers from the product. This had been stated by a spokesperson
of Microsoft. Microsoft’s policy claims that they do not make any
hardware changes but try to affect significant software changes in order
to give great performance to the devices.

The new and refreshed models of Surface
Pro 2 are about to be available in the market soon. With the help of
these Surface Pro 2 models, the users will be able to experience a
faster Intel processor. Both Surface Pro 2 and Surface 2 have already
been sold to many retailers prior to the holidays. However, there is no
report from Microsoft about any connection between processor change and
the lower surface inventory. According to the officials of Microsoft,
this step taken by the company will definitely impact the view of people
about Microsoft products and also Surface Pro 2 in particular.
