In addition to introducing the Surface Pro 2 this morning, Microsoft also trotted out seven (!) accessories for its new slate including the new Power Cover and a docking station. The former offers up a keyboard for workstation-like setup and extends the Surface Pro 2's battery life 2.5 times. For those looking to anchor down for a spell, the dock wields three USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.0 jack, a mini DisplayPort, Ethernet connection and audio input / output. The peripheral can also power up 3,840 x 2,160 resolution display -- something Microsoft is touting as "the full power of a PC in a tablet form factor."
