Microsoft Surface Pro 5 Release Date, Specs and Features: New Device Could Come this March 2017; Faster Processor and Improved Stylus Expected
Nens MitchellThe Microsoft Surface Pro 5 could come during the first quarter of the year. Reports indicate that it would just be a few more months before fans welcome the much-awaited device.
Specs and new features
Expected to be released early this year, the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 is anticipated to have an improved and "magnetically charging" stylus, as well as an Ultra HD display. All these will be offered to the public with the help of a new supplier that Microsoft tapped for the Surface Pro 5 which is Qanta Computer.
Release date
The anticipated release for the device is this coming March 2017 which is barely three months from now. It is still, however, not clear if the new Microsoft gadget will also come with a USB Type C connector or will maintain its normal ports just like it did with its new devices.
As for its processor, the Surface Pro 5 could run on Intel Core i7 which was also offered to the Microsoft Surface Pro 4. Microsoft could also offer a newer and faster processor to the upcoming release.
Rechargeable stylus battery
Aside from these, patents reveal that the stylus of the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 will already be rechargeable just like the iPad Pro which has a rechargeable Apple pen. This is a great development from the previous stylus powered by non-rechargeable batteries.
It is also rumored to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 635 processor and not the Intel Kaby Lake chip earlier reported. This will ensure that the device will have a better battery life for longer use.
When it comes to price, the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 could also initially sell just like the Surface Pro 4 which had a tag of $899 for the basic variant. It could go up for as high as $2,000 depending on the memory and processor of the device.
