I am not an IT guy.  Did Microsoft release a Surface Pro 2.5? 

I returned my Surface Pro 2 (v. 256GB) because of the poor performance after the failed12.10.13 firmware update. I recall the SP2 I returned having a i5 4200U processor. 

To my surprise, when I checked the System Properties in the Control Panel on my replacement SP2, the processor was upgraded to a i5 4300U @ 1.9Ghz. - 2.5 Ghz.

Perhaps this is old news. Can anyone explain this change or know of any other improvements? Thank you.

    I traded mine in just today and got the faster processor.  Thanks for the heads up on the lot numbers, etc.  I have the new processor now from Best Buy.

    A discussion about clock speed and the more of power is boring! I bought my device (4200) at the same time with same costs from a big electronic market. Day one, i updated with the firmware that blowed up my devive. I went back to the store, 20 km and changed it to another device, also a 4200. 3 days later i newly had problems with the battery life and bootloops. with the microsoft exchange service i changed again to a used! 4200 device. For nearly 1000€ i  bought a SP2 with the "a-lot-of-trouble-package" and at the third time i become an older and used device - after 1 week of using ????

    Sorry MS, thats not what i understand about what you say in the TV Spots. That is not ok and i do not discuss with anybody about the more percent of performance, for the same money, i have to become the same device. And please do not tell me that it is normal to change the hardware in this way after 2 month of release.

    My SP2 setup. Love it. This is a much better setup versus a side by side setup. I used my kids iPad box as a make shift stand, cutout squared holes in the back and hid most all of the wires and power plugs in the box. Nice, neat and good way to recycle packaging.
