Microsoft presented the new Surface 2 tablet earlier this month, with both the RT and the Pro models now on sale in 21 countries worldwide.

A video rolled out today comes to provide more details on the designing and engineering processes of the new devices, as Microsoft wants to offer users as much behind-the-scenes information as possible.

As you know, both the Surface 2 and the Surface Pro 2 come not only with significant hardware upgrades, but also with new features, such as a two-position kickstand and refined design.

Ralf Groene, lead designer for Surface, talks about the way the Surface 2 came to be, explaining that Microsoft’s team paid particular attention to every little detail, including the manufacturing process of the antenna cover and the fabric used on the Type Cover 2.
