What Bitcoin is for Bitcoin fanatics, new tech products are for geeks. Speakers at the unveiling of new tech products often sound like crypto supporters promising a bright future. So it was when Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone and will be when we see the new 10-inch Microsoft Surface tablet unveiled.
Microsoft Surface Tablet: FCC Gives Green Light
This week, reports surfaced that Microsoft is developing a 10-inch Surface-branded tablet. The news was revealed in a new FCC filing.
The FCC filing was first noticed by Roland Quandt of WinFuture, but it corroborates a Bloomberg report that was published in May.
Here’s what Bloomberg reported:
– The Microsoft Surface tablet will be 20% lighter than the Surface Pro 5
– There will be new features, like better battery life and more rounded corners
– USB-C charging will be available
– Windows 10 will already be preinstalled in the 10-inch Microsoft Surface tablet
– Economical accessories will follow the release of the new Microsoft Surface tablet
– Each tablet will come with a 24W charger
Target the People, Expect Good Things
The filing doesn’t reveal too much, but the fact that the FCC gave the green light to the 10-inch Microsoft Surface tablet says everything.
Perhaps it’s because Microsoft isn’t just trying to boost its share price with this new product. It’s evident Microsoft is trying to appeal to the general population – not just the people that can afford with ease to spend $1,000 on a cell phone.
The 10-inch Microsoft Surface tablet is going to be bigger and better than ever, and, to top it off, there’s going to be an economical price tag attached to it.
Has There Been an Impact on the Stock?
The day that the news surfaced, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) closed down 0.96% on the Nasdaq and continued to drop in the after-hours session.
The Takeaway
As we approach back-to-school shopping, are you going to buy the 10-inch Microsoft Surface tablet?
