Apple was not the first, but it was the first company to popularize tablets among users. The first iPad with a 9,7-inch screen has gradually expanded the size of the screen, as it has seen how it was also reduced, following Samsung's strategy. But for some time now, it seems that tablets are really succeeding with those with 10 or more inches. Microsoft, it seems that it was seen coming and canceled the project it had to launch a Surface Mini, an 8-inch Surface that according to all rumors It was going to be presented alongside the Surface Pro 3 in 2014, but in the end they didn't.
Little by little, the idea that the Surface Mini was just a mirage was gaining followers, but it seems that it was not, since as we can read and see in Windows Central, the idea of launching a Surface Mini was there and it was close to to get to the market, but the project was finally canceled. The guys from Windows Central have got the images of how this device was physically, a device that as we can see was very similar to the Surface Pro of the moment.
Inside this Surface Mini, there was a Snapdragon 800 processor, with 1 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. Inside we found the ill-fated Windows RT, a seedy version of Windows 10 geared towards mobile ecosystems. Seeing now what features this tablet had, Microsoft was the best it could do, since rumors pointed to the same features as the Surface Pro 3, a device that would have had much more room on the market than this half tablet, half Windows Phone RT, an operating system that had proven completely useless.
