Where is the Surface Mini

[btgusto]

Any news about the smaller surface? I thought it was going to be introduced at the Build conference? What's up? Does anyone know anything about when its going to AT LEAST be introduced?

I think the Surface Mini will be launched in conjunction with Office for touch, probably in 3-4 months.

There is no information as far as I'm aware of about the launch of a Surface Mini IF there even is one.

Rumor. Or perhaps will be announced as part of third gen surface launch later this year

There's plenty others, Acer has a nice 8" tablet, Lenovo, Asus... And they're all x86 (no core i5, but atom is still x86)

With the recent rumors of RT perhaps being scrapped, would a mini surface even happen anymore?

RT will not be scraped. WP and RT are more likely to be combined. I don't consider that 'scraped'.

Would be a good move too.

As for the rumour. I've heard people want one but I have not heard of any information regarding one. Then again, we are talking about MS. They brought out the Surface without anyone knowing about it.

Wouldnt it be a pain to type on a smaller tablet? I would maybe rather they focus on getting the price down and improving software.

The soft key experience on 6"-8" devices is pretty good.
