To all that do not know, the Surface Pro 5 from Microsoft has been designed to have an outstanding performance in amazingly slim and light body that will win over the hearts of people all around, and that is exactly what this innovation has achieved in this device. In addition to all of this Microsoft decided to boost it with a massive 512 GB storage and launch it sometime in spring of 2017.
Its predecessor the Surface Pro 4 featured Intel i7 processor and 16 GB RAM, but Surface Pro 5 will boast with out-of-the-box huge storage capacity of 512 GB and better battery life, which is amazing. TechRadar says that besides the better battery it will also come with a sharper screen and maybe even a USB Type-C port, as well as a possibility of including Thunderbolt 3 as an interface. There have been some rumors, unchecked by the way, that say that the Surface Pen is also due to get some updates that consist of improved wireless charging from its magnetic dock. Microsoft is also expected to feature the fingerprint scanning through PixelSense display which they patented four years ago and will just be another excellent addition to the Surface Pro 5.
Recently Yahoo! reported that the company started its trial period under ODM Pegatron – the same company that manufactures Surface Studio and Apple’s iPhones. Some earlier reports say that Surface phones are also in Microsoft’s future sights, but nothing is yet known or officially confirmed. Microsoft CEO Natya Nadaella stated that “We will continue to be in the phone market not as defined by today’s market leaders”, and added “But by what it is that we can uniquely do in what is the most ultimate mobile device”.
Surface Pro 5 is supposed to be powered by the latest Kaby Lake processor from Intel as well as Windows 10 Redstone 3 from Microsoft, and its price could be around US $899 with its release set for spring 2017. If we get at least the half of what is expected, then Microsoft might surely surprise the audience with an amazing Surface Pro 5 that features fantastic design and specifications. We will definitely stay tuned and watch closely to how this piece of tech unfolds as time passes.
