Surface Pro 2: Shipping with a faster Core i5

Here's a toast for Surface lovers. Microsoft has confirmed that newer Surface Pro 2 tablets are shipping with a faster 1.9GHz Core i5 inside instead of the 1.6GHz chip that came with the earliest models.

Sometimes, it pays to avoid the bleeding edge of technology.  The company isn't saying just why it rolled out the stealthy upgrade, although it notes that "routinely" tweaks designs based on part availability and customer value.

The move may frustrate early adopters whose two- month-old Windows slates are already behind the times, but it's good news for latecomers who'll get more for their money.
