The Surface Mini is probably going to be announced in a week on May 20th.
We don't know too much about the device, which I think is a good thing. I like to be surprised. That said, there are very credible rumors out there. Here's what we're expecting so far:
And that's really all we know about the Surface Mini. No word on USB support, display resolution, battery life, etc. Which is where I wanted to see what you guys want to get out of the Surface Mini.
I'd like to eek about 10 hours of battery life out of the Surface Mini, which is comparable to devices like the Apple iPad Mini or Nexus 7. Though the super high res display of the iPad Mini would be welcomed, I'd be happy with at least 1080p. Full USB support? I'd be ok without and don't think it's appropriate for a device like the Surface Mini. Though I'm curious what ports you guys want on the device.
Basically just list what you want to see next week! Be realistic though
