The Microsoft Surface Pro 5’s Closest Competition Will Be Intel’s 2-in-1 Laptop Hybrid! Detachable Curved Display Is Rumored!
Cris Xander JulianoIntel and Microsoft have been competitors since 2011 with both companies scheduling their developers' conferences in the same week. The competition between the two is about to heat up once again as Intel is planning to launch a laptop hybrid that would directly compete with Microsoft's Surface Pro 5 according to International Business Times.
It was learned that Intel patented a device with a detachable display, which is very similar to the Surface and Surface Pro lines. The only difference based on the image of the patent is the curved display, which Microsoft hasn't featured on any of its Surface devices. The keyboard of Intel's patented device is also curved which can be seen on the illustration.
This is not the first time a laptop sported a curved display as Acer's Predator 21X that was displayed at the Consumer Electronic Show 2017 also have a similar display. Although, it's screen is not detachable and costs $9,000.
The display's thickness suggests that it may have another battery, another processing unit and a separate storage space. Intel is speculated to use a next-gen processor to separate itself from other hybrids currently on the market since this is their first take into the 2-in-1 devices.
However, when the screen is detached, it becomes a curved tablet, which is very unusual and it will be the first of its kind.
Meanwhile, Microsoft's upcoming Surface Pro 5 is rumored to have Intel's seventh generation Kaby Lake processor and will sport a 4k resolution display. The device is speculated to be released on April 5 of this year.
