Microsoft issues recall for Surface Pro, Pro 2 and Pro 3 AC power cords

Microsoft has issued a recall for Surface Pro, Surface Pro 2 and some Surface Pro 3 AC power cords sold before July 2015. The recall affects the AC power cord, which is removable cord that connects the power supply to an electrical outlet and not the power brick with the magnetic attachment to the Surface device.

Microsoft will provide one AC power cord replacement free of charge for each eligible Surface Pro device that you own. No proof of damage is required to receive a replacement AC power cord.

If you have more than one Surface Pro device, you’ll need to submit a replacement order for each one.

Microsoft set to launch Surface 2 on September 23 as per press invitations

Microsoft is going to launch new Surface tablets on September 23 in New York City. Almost a year since Redmond dove headfirst into its first in-house tablets, the company is set to deliver the refreshed version of its discounted tablet. What's on the docket for Surface 2? Adjustable kickstands, a Tegra 4 processor, 1080p HD screen, thinner and lighter form factor and  Windows 8.1. The "RT" tag will also get deleted for version 2.0. 

The Surface Pro will likely rock an Intel Haswell processor for longer battery life and a new Power Cover to offer additional battery life.
