Microsoft Surface Pro 5 might be getting delayed according to a pretty reliable report. It appears that the tech company has some bigger plans in store for its users but those plans don't include the release of a new tablet, which is interesting to some extent if we consider the other plans Microsoft has.

The Surface Pro 5 will be released in Spring 2017 according to a new report. During the same time period, Microsoft will be rolling out project "Redstone" which is a huge wave of Windows 10 updates that are set to arrive starting with March and ending with June. Project "Redstone" doesn't just involve updating existing devices to Windows 10 but it also involves releasing new devices with the tech giant's latest operating system. Among these new devices should be the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 which in all likelihood is going to be the one to kick-off this project. Things are getting pretty interesting for Microsoft.

Microsoft Surface Pro 5 Features

If rumors are to be believed, the Surface Pro 5 is going to pack an Intel Kaby Lake 7th generation processor which is the latest in terms of raw computing power. Another interesting thing about the Surface Pro 5 is that it could feature a 4k display though that might be a bit of a far stretch considering it's a tablet and battery life isn't all that great. Microsoft is probably going to come out with the Surface Phone this year which is exciting news for many people but it remains to be seen if the project was actually worth it, or if the speculation was useless.
