Microsoft is rumored to launch next year two versions of its Surface 2 in 1 tablet (laptop) hybrid, ONE the 13 to 14 inch device and TWO a brand NEW 8 inch tablet to compete with the iPad Mini.

It might be Microsoft`s answer to Apple who are rumored to launch a bigger iPad 12.2 (iPad Pro) inch next year too, along side with the 8.9 inch iPad and the iPad Mini.

The Surface 4 line could help herald the arrival of Windows 10.
