Microsoft will launch Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 tablets on October 22, 2013.

The new line of Microsoft tablets is expected to directly compete with Apple iPad and Google Android tablets.

According to its official website, Microsoft described Surface Pro as "A laptop in tablet form, Surface Pro brings together the best of Microsoft in one awesome new device."

The Intel® CoreTM i5 processor runs virtually all your favorite programs, including Office1, with blazing fast speed.

A Digitimes report explained the Redmond company's strategy,
Microsoft’s current plight is due to its late entry to the mobile market, high product prices, and weak ecosystem compared to its competitors. Microsoft’s strategy of developing its tablet operating system using its PC operating system as the base, is the main problem preventing Windows-based tablets becoming standardized.

Pre-orders for the new line of Surface tablets are now available. Surface Pro prices starts at $799. Reports say that first generation Surface RT will still be available at a drop-down price of $350.

Surface tablets top selling point is the availability of Office applications.
