Surface Pro 5: Release Date, Tech specs, Display Everything You Need To Know

Microsoft Surface Pro 5 should be released pretty soon and if you're a big tech fan then this release should interest you. Microsoft's biggest stake this year is the tablet industry, seeing how they've put the smartphone industry aside for now until their biggest project is coming which is the Surface Phone.

First and foremost you'll probably want to know when this device is going to be released. Most analysts speculate an October 2016 or early 2017 release date for this device. It's set to have a similar price tag to its predecessor which is around $899 for the base price.

Microsoft Surface Pro 5 Kaby Lake

The processor is one of the main things we're looking forward to in the Surface Pro 5 as rumor has it that it will be a very good one. Kaby Lake is Intel's next big project and alleged benchmarks were leaked a while back showing that the processor can handle 118.71 Giga operations per second on 8 threads. This is really a huge improvement and this processor is set to launch next month at Computex 2016.

Amazing Display On Surface Pro 5

Another very interesting piece of speculation we've heard recently is that the Surface Pro 5 will feature a 4K display with a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels. This is double the resolution of its predecessor and it would definitely sell a lot of units thanks to this. A better battery unit is also promised to be included which is granted if the display really is a 4K one. You can expect the Surface pro 5 to last you at least 7 hours which is extremely decent for this sort of device, but we hope we won't be seeing any sleep issues as with the Surface pro 4.

New Accessories

The Surface Pen is a very neat accessory and Microsoft wants to improve on it. Apparently, the Surface pro 5 will come with a rechargeable Surface Pen and a magnetic charging dock which is interesting news. Accessories really improve every Surface Pro owner's experience with the device and the Pen is very important because a lot of artists use a Surface Pro and this piece is very important to them.

Overall these are the primary news related to the Surface Pro 5. Microsoft is due to give out a couple more details over the coming months as it will keep us on our toes until the Surface Pro 5 actually gets released. The competition will be fierce as Apple will probably release its own tablet. Last year, the iPad Pro outsold the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 so Microsoft needs to ensure that its upcoming tablet will be of excellent quality in order to sell as many units as possible.

Do you think that the upcoming installment in the Surface Pro series is going to be successful? Why is that? Let us know by leaving a comment and tell us if you'll buy a Surface Pro 5 once the device actually gets released.
