A Surface-themed press event has been scheduled by Microsoft in Lower Manhattan on May 20. The company is expected to unveil to the tech media its Surface tablet product portfolio.
Despite the fact that Microsoft has not officially specified the new Surface products on which it will focus at the event, the company is likely to unveil a miniature edition of the Surface tablet, apparently to benefit from the growing sales of small tablets.
The unveiling of the small-sized Surface tablet - Surface Mini - is part of Microsoft's new "mobile-first" approach to IT. The Surface Mini tablet will essentially take on existing small tablets like the Apple iPad Mini and the Amazon Kindle Fire.
The Surface Mini will just not be a downsized Surface tablet, it will also underscore a major change made by Microsoft --- the tablet will reportedly be powered by new processors from Qualcomm. Thus far, Microsoft has been equipping its Surface RT hardware with Nvidia's Tegra mobile processors.
Meanwhile, in addition to unveiling the new Surface Mini small tablet at the Lower Manhattan event, Microsoft is also expected to introduce the third-generation model of its full-sized Surface Pro.
