Microsoft CEO Killed Surface Mini

satya-nadella
Who remembers the Microsoft Surface Mini? The oft rumored device was pegged to launch in September 2013 but never materialized… So, all those rumors were false? No quite as it seems that the smaller version of the Surface and Surface Pro was a real product.

At least in the development stage according to Panos Panay, who is the current Surface VP. Apparently Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and former Nokia head honcho Stephen Elop decided to kill the Surface Mini. The reasoning was actually rather sound, with the due deciding that the Windows market is already flooded with small screen tablets, so Microsoft would make no money from a Surface Mini.
