This research is conducted by Pew Research Center, John S. and James L. Knight Foundation .

Its shows that about half of adult Facebook users, get news from Facebook.

Microsoft: Surface 2 & Surface Pro 2

Microsoft: Surface 2 & Surface Pro 2

 

It is said to be ''The most productive tablets on the planet.''

Microsoft are featuring their new Surface 2 & Surface Pro 2 on their official website. 

Leaner. Meaner.

Thinner, faster, and lighter than before. Surface 2 is always-on, and ready to go when you are.

 - Microsoft

I will be taking about Surface 2 in this blog post.

Size, Speed and Weight

They said that Surface 2 is better than Surface in term of size, speed and weight. It stated that Surface 2 weight less than 1.5 pounds and is just 8.9mm thin. They also said that it offer 10 hours of video playback.

Videos and Gaming Improved

Surface 2 features 3.5MP front-facing and 5MP rear-facing cameras. Surface 2 also offer crystal clear, colorful display which mean you can play 1080p Full HD games or video on it!

Specifications

10.81 x 6.79 x 0.35 in
32GB, 64GB
16:9 (widescreen)
1920x1080
2GB RAM
Visit the official Surface 2 page for more accurate specifications - http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/products/surface-2

Prizes - Worth to get?

It cost $449.00 to get it from their official website. Do you think it is worth to buy this Surface 2 which is better than Surface? I do think it is worth to get it; but I think it is better to wait for ''Surface 3'' before we decide.

Thanks,
