Surface Type Cover 2
Microsoft are back on track with their monthly update for the Surface tablets. This month there are updates for the Surface 2, Surface Pro 2 and the Surface Pro (but not the Surface RT). For the Surface 2 has Bluetooth updates that improves Bluetooth audio and fixes issues with Bluetooth keyboards. There is also a network controller update that fixes wireless connectivity issues.

The Surface Pro 2 has a display driver update that improves display calibration and a firmware update that resolves hibernation problems. Also in the update are trackpad firmware improvements and a fix for “Resolves issue where available battery percentage was reported incorrectly”, something that my podcast co-host @databasejase had reported.
