Microsoft's rumored new Surface keyboard/covers that feature built-in batteries for extra power will arrive some time after the new Surfaces launch, according to new reports.



From All About Microsoft:
The so-called Power Covers will extend the battery life of the Intel-Haswell-based Surface 2 Pro, existing Intel-based Surface Pro and the coming ARM-based Surface 2, those sources are saying, but there's no word on exactly how much extra life they will add.

According to Windows SuperSite's Paul Thurrott, the new battery-inclusive Type Power Cover will be .38 inches (9.75 mm) thick, compared to .21 inches (5.33 mm) for today's Type Cover.
