| Surface Pro 4 price |
In the past few weeks, hype about the Surface Pro 4 has been
intensifying as prices of the previous models, the Surface Pro 3 have
been dropped in the Microsoft Store. Moreover, an event scheduled for
September 24 also sparked rumors about the Microsoft release schedule of
devices, but it turns out the
September 24 event
is one to do with Microsoft Office 365 and its further development for
learning and education. But that leaves us wondering about the Surface
Pro 4 release date and the new hybrid’s future.
According to the Microsoft event schedule, although full, there’s
nothing to lead us on about the Surface Pro 4 release window, although
there are a few secretive private events listed, too. With Microsoft
keeping mum about the Surface Pro 4, we can only speculate about the new
device. The Redmong giant hasn’t confirmed yet that the Surface Pro 4
would be launched this year, but judging by the discount on the previous
model as well as the stages of Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile, the device should not be too far ahead.
With the Surface Pro 4 Microsoft will most likely try and upgrade the
previous model to the standards that users want to see and it will
focus on integration of Windows 10 and Cortana into a possibly new
design for a seamless user experience within the Microsoft ecosystem.
With the deployment of Windows 10 Mobile closing in and people already
getting excited aout the new Microsoft Lumia devices to come, the
company has a lot to do in the remaining few months of the year.
Microsoft has bought up new cloud security firms, as well as invested
a lot in Azure and its mobile app suite, going as far as releasing a
new Skype Messaging app in the Windows store. That means that the
release date for both the Surface Pro 4 and the Microsoft Lumia flagship
of the year is close and we don’t have to wait that much to actually
get a glimpse of the new devices. Still, the number of leaks about these
devices is oddly small, as few people have published anything other
than just rumors.
Nonetheless, we’re confident that the Surface Pro 4 is not fiction,
and neither is the new Microsoft Lumia flagship. We’re in doubt about
the release date, as some suggest early October while others say that by
the end of this month, pre-orders for new Microsoft devices should go
live. Whichever the case, we’re also confident that the company is on
the right track this year, especially with the positive response that
the company is gathering with the release of Windows 10 for free
worldwide.
Even though we don’t know much about the Surface Pro 4. we’ve enough
information about hardware development in order to get an idea of what
to expect this year. At the same time, we can judge by the faults people
saw in the Surface Pro 3 in order to pinpoint new features that could
be included in the revamped version of the hybrid.
With that in mind, I suggest you take these specs with a grain of
salt until we have confirmation from the company. First off, the Surface
Pro 4 line-up will include multiple devices with similar specs, just
like last year. Apparently, the Surface Pro 4 display will be either 12-
or 14-inches, depending on what you like best, both displays with QHD
resolution. Rumors about 4K resolution displays on the Surface Pro 4
have also been noticed, although they seem less plausible than a QHD
display.
The Surface Pro 4 is going to be an important step in hybrid history,
as it will involve new processors and new technologies. With that in
mind, our best bet when it comes to Surface Pro 4 hardware would involve
the new Skylake processors, most likely the H series, in three
different configurations, as usual. 4GB and 8GB RAM should be on board
the Surface Pro 4 depending on the variant that costumers will choose,
with storage starting at 64 GB and up to 256 GB. Some say the design of
the hybrid won’t include fans, which would be an interesting
combination.
The new Skylake CPUs and their performance and efficiency
might counter overheating problems, but I’m not sure if a fanless design
is the way to go when it comes to the Surface Pro 4, where performance
is more important than design.
Since we’re on the topic of design, the Surface Pro 4 design
shouldn’t change that much. A premium metal chassis, a nice TypeCover
keyboard which is supposed to be sold separately as usual and a stylus
will remain the staple pieces of the hybrid. What will change however is
compatibility, as Microsoft confirmed that Surface Pro 3 accessories
will be compatible with the Surface Pro 4. Moreover, we do expect a new
stylus to be launched, one with more features, better sensitivity and
its own drawing pad, sold separately, for those graphic artists out
there.
The
battery life of the Surface Pro 3 wasn’t disappointing, but it could
have been better. This is an area where Microsoft is sure to improve,
and we expect the Surface Pro 4 battery life to be exemplary. Battery
life is very important for Surface users, and improving on that is one
of the most necessary upgrades that Microsoft should consider before
releasing the device. Since manufacturing of the Surface Pro 4 is most
likely near completion, we can’t suggest anything else to the company
this late. Nonetheless, we sure hope that the Surface Pro 4 turns out
exemplary.
Some say the Surface Pro 4 release date will be October 19, although we
can’t pinpoint where that rumor originally started. We are hoping for an
earlier release, maybe before the iPad Pro goes on sale, because that
would help Microsoft gain a bit of traction and create a bit of hype
around its new products, to counter the Apple offensive. We’ll have to
wait and see. As soon as the company releases information about the
future of the Surface Pro 4 and Windows 10 Mobile, we promise to be all
over it.
