All of these innovations are just stoking the fires of the Internet rumor mill, generating speculation about what novelties Microsoft will debut with the next Surface Pro. Though there is so far precious little in the way of official detail, we'll use this space to collect the news, predictions, and rumors about the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 as they emerge. October has historically been the month of the Surface. Microsoft announced the Surface Pro 4 (and Surface Book) in October 2015. And it unveiled the newest, high-end Surface Book i7 in October 2016, along with the Surface Studio and Surface Dial. Though the majority of Surface-branded products have been released in the month of October, a handful of debuts have also come in February (the original) and June (the Surface Pro 3). Though some rumors point to an "early 2017" release, we don't expect to see the Surface Pro 5 until spring 2017, at the soonest.
The current Pro 4 already uses the latest and greatest sixth-generation "Skylake" Intel processors (Core m3, Core i5 or Core i7), At the end of May, Intel confirmed that Skylake's successor, "Kaby Lake," would launch by the end of 2016, And according to a report from Forbes, the Surface Pro 5 is likely to come equipped with the "Kaby Lake" Core i7, It's always fun to consider Microsoft changing its position on the Surface Pro's keyboard cover, Though traditionally sold separately (for $129, £109 or AU$199), the keyboard cover has always been an integral component of the Surface experience, In fact, we rarely see a Surface in Microsoft's advertising materials or press previews without the keyboard cover attached, but for some reason, the company still won't pack it into the box, Could Microsoft roll strongfit designers navy polka dot floral by tigatiga case for apple iphone 7 plus - yellow/white/red/blue/black it into the Surface Pro 5's base price, as Samsung does with the competing TabPro S? Unlikely -- but not impossible..
Speaking of connections, we could potentially see Microsoft following Apple's example with its new line of MacBook Pros, by adding a USB C port to the Surface Pro 5. Straight up, the Surface Pro 4 is expensive -- unless you opt for the very entry-level $899 model (£749, AU$1,349). For that price, you get a tablet with an Intel Core M3 CPU, 128GB of solid state storage and 4GB of RAM, plus a touchscreen stylus. Add in a more robust, Intel Skylake processor and the price increases to $999; upgrade the storage to 256GB and the RAM to 8GB, and you're at $1,299. An even faster processor and bigger hard drive could push the price above $2,000.
For reference, the new Microsoft Surface Book i7 starts at $2,399, (That converts to approximately AU$3,150 and £2,000 in Australia and the UK, respectively.) Back in March, News Everyday published a report that the Surface Pro 5's will start at $899; an Intel Core i7 model will cost $999; and the i7 Extreme version will cost for $1,599, Keep in mind that there is a stepdown non-Pro Surface model -- the Surface strongfit designers navy polka dot floral by tigatiga case for apple iphone 7 plus - yellow/white/red/blue/black 3 -- last updated in April 2015, It's possible we could see a separate update of that model any time in 2016 or later, too..
It's been some time coming, but Intel has confirmed that its next generation of 'optimised' processors is on schedule and going into production this quarter. The software giant has work to do if it's going to rally people to its software for PCs, tablets and phones. Microsoft's second major set of new features for Windows 10, known as "Redstone 2," are now a spring 2017 deliverable, meant to coincide with a new wave of Windows 10 hardware, sources say. Microsoft's Surface Pro 4 had a big problem.
