Both the Surface 2 and the Surface Pro 2 are now up for preorder, so Microsoft has started a new advertising campaign to promote the key features of the devices.

This time, Brian Hall, member of the Microsoft Surface team, talks about the key features of the Surface 2, explaining that the tablet was created to be lighter and faster than its predecessor.

At the same time, Hall presented some of the new accessories launched by Microsoft on Monday, including the docking station and upgraded Type Cover that now packs backlighting for enhanced productivity in low light conditions.

The first Surface 2 units will reach their new owners on October 22, as Microsoft has already announced that its new tablets will ship to those who submitted preorders four days after the launch of Windows 8.1.
