If true, a feasible chance of seeing the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 could be by early 2017, though some are still leaving the door open for a 2016 last quarter release despite these latest claims.

The Surface Book had a strong start, and preorders sold out in no time, with all models and configurations out of stock on the Microsoft Store by mid-October 2015. Let us know in comments below.
