Written by Have issues with palying DRM protected Digital Copy movies on Microsoft Surface 2, Surface Pro 2, Surface RT/Pro tablet ? Here you will find an effective way to achieve your goal smoothly.
On September 23, Microsoft announced the release of their newest tablets, the Microsoft Surface 2 and the Microsoft Surface Pro 2, claiming the Surface Pro 2 is faster than 95 percent of all laptops. The modifications are exciting. The differences are a huge upgrade from the first installation of the Microsoft Surface tablet. The Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 will both still feature VaporMg Casing and a 10.6-inch screen, but now with half the reflectivity of competitors. And the display resolution of the Surface 2 will jump up to 1920 x 1080. This is a dramatic jump from the 1366 x 768 resolution of the Surface RT. Microsoft has also added a ClearType full HD display to the Surface 2, giving it a lighter, thinner and faster screen with 56 percent more color accuracy. This upgraded display was previously only found on the Surface Pro.
