Others, however, have a more realistic view on when the device will exactly come out, and it could take place sometime in March 2017.

Readers should bear in mind that these are mere speculations and the tech giants have not officially confirmed any of these rumnors.
Microsoft has been releasing commercials making fun of Apple’s MacBook series and their latest is no different. The tablet got rave reviews for all sections of tech enthusiasts. A Surface AIO graphics unit, PixelSense display panel, and an improved battery are also expected. According to reports, the KabyLake processor will perform 40 percent faster than the now available SkyLake variant.
The report noted that “It offers enhanced and innovative features not yet found in any version of Windows 10”.
When it comes to the specifications, Surface Pro 5 is believed to come with either a 2K or a stunning 4K display.
This could be the major question among consumers who have been waiting for some major announcements about the upcoming upgrade to the Microsoft Surface Pro line. The device will come with a new rechargeable Surface Pen that sticks to the laptop magnetically.
For now, the refurbished base model of the Surface Pro 4 with 128GB of storage and an Intel Core m3 processor backed by 4GB of RAM is sold for $764, while the refurbished Surface Book with 128GB of storage and an Intel Core i5 processor backed by 8GB RAM costs $1,274. Two new ads were released on Microsoft’s Surface YouTube channel that highlight some of the advantages of 2-in-1s over traditional notebooks.
Microsoft’s Surface Pro 5 is easily one of the most awaited products of the year from Microsoft and is scheduled for a possible October launch later this year. The device will also run on the upgraded Windows 10 OS. It may or may not reveal something in the upcoming October event. However, GameNGuide reports that the release date will be further stretched because of various external factors. A $100 increase in price is expected because of the new specs and features. However, we have to wait till Microsoft finally pushes the brand new Surface Pro 5 into the retail market.
Microsoft’s competition-the MacBook Pro 2016 from Apple-is expected to be released next month along with the iMac 2016.
