The Surface line of tablets hasn’t had the easiest life. Though a great deal was invested by Microsoft in their success, the likes of the Surface RT, and Surface 2 failed to ignite demand around the world.
\
\
\
Things began to change for the better in 2014 however, with the release of the Surface Pro 3. An accomplished laptop/tablet hybrid, the device is several degrees of magnitude more desirable than its predecessors, something shown frequently in sales figures.
\
This streak of success has continued, and according to figures released by Canalys, over 2 million Surface tablets were shipped in Q4 2014. Though this number represents the total of the Surface line sold, the Surface Pro 3 is understood to have been a major driver behind this growth. Selling at triple the rate of the Surface Pro 2, Microsoft has clearly gotten something right with this newer model.
\
What the next generation will bring is yet to be seen, but if Microsoft can continue to build on its previous successes, then the future is exciting indeed.
