Numerous reliable reports speculate that the Surface Pro 5 will come with Windows 10 Redstone 2 pre-installed, which will drastically improve the user interface of the device. This is because the efficiency of the Kaby Lake processor ensures the battery life of a device is maximized. However, the earlier reported timeline is a much favorable slate since its smaller cousin, the Surface Pro 5, still awaits the arrival of Intel’s Kaby Lake chip. Because of this, the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 is only expected to be deployed in the first quarter of 2017, Neurogadget reported.
