Thoughts on the new Surface Pro 2

It may seem stupid of me that I will post a review of the Surface Pro very soon, since the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 come out in two days.  Nevertheless, I have some very strong impressions about the new generation of Surface.

The 2-position kickstand
I think that the new 2 position kickstand is a great update.  It allows users to view the screen of the Surface from different and more angles.  I would say that it is great because I tend to hunch down to use my Surface Pro because the screen is so low.  In the rare chance that I do get a Surface Pro 2 with 512 GB of solid state memory, I will surely appreciate the stand because it will allow me to use the Surface with more comfort.  I tend to bend down to look at the screen when I place my Surface Pro on a low desk or on a soft place like a sofa or bed.

Improvements for the Type Cover 2
I was thinking that the uniform black color scheme of the Surface Pro and Type Cover was a bit bland.  I'm glad that now the Type Cover 2 comes in blue, pink, and purple as well.

Also, I'm very happy to hear that the Type Cover 2 is backlit.  It was very hard to know if the caps lock was turned on or not until the new keyboard comes with a lighted caps lock key.  I think the backlit keys make the Type Cover conform with a standard that is almost universal with laptop keyboards.

The power cover will be very nice because it will add much-needed battery life to the Surface Pro 2.  It'll need all the battery juice the Surface Pro 2 needs.

However... some disappointments as well
I'm kind of disappointed in Microsoft that the much needed Docking Station for Surface and the Power Cover will be released next year.  I feel that those product releases weren't planned well.  Anyways, the Surface Pro only debuted just barely a year ago in January 2013... so I'm not that surprised anyways.  Still, the Power Cover and Docking Station should've been released along with the Surface Pro 2.
