Microsoft (MSFT) Lower Into Surface 2 Event

Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) is lower in early trading Monday heading into its Surface 2 event, which will begin today at 10:30am EDT.

Some key features on the next generation Surface Pro 2, which is the higher-end version of the two, will be an Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) Core Haswell processor, up to 256-gigabytes of storage, similar 10.6-inch display, and updated kickstand.

There might be a Surface Mini at the event, too, which will boast an 8-inch screen and Intel Atom processor.

Microsoft will also debut the Surface RT 2. Providing gobs of confusion for users, the next version will still run on an ARM Holdings (Nasdaq: ARMH)-based chip, but a larger selection of apps will help improve the user experience.

In early trading, Microsoft is down about 0.3 percent.
