Microsoft Surface 3 rumored to launch in October

After launching the Surface Pro 3 last month, it is naturally time for Microsoft to prepare a refresh of its lower-tier line – the Surface. According to sources, a new 10.6-inch Surface model is currently brewing and about to enter production, aimed for launch in October this year. Reportedly, component-production is about to begin in August and volume production will begin in September. Since the Surface 2 was launched in October last year, it is safe to assume that this is the Surface 3 we're talking about.

It is purported that Microsoft expects the Surface 3 to sell better than its predecessor. No doubt, Redmond is encouraged by how well the Surface Pro 3 has been doing so far.

Here's hoping we don't see a "Click it and I Note it" ad for this one!
