Fresh claims have emerged that Microsoft plans to launch its new Surface 3 tablet ahead of the holiday season - but the same sources also claim that the Surface mini will be launched this year too



From Neowin:

Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 has been doing pretty well since the company unveiled it back in May, and has earned widespread praise from reviewers and owners alike. But not everyone wants - or can afford - a device in the Pro 3's size and price range; some buyers just want something a bit more manageable, both for their hands and their wallets.

The Surface 2 addresses those needs, but the Windows RT tablet is now over a year old, and ready to be replaced with a more up to date model. According to TK Tech News, that replacement is on the way and, more surprisingly, it's said that the Surface mini will be along for the ride too.

  Microsoft said to be planning Surface 3 and Surface mini launch in coming weeks
