Microsoft Surface Pro 5 release may happen in April. It is likely to come with Surface Dial, which the company had introduced to the users with Surface Studio.
The innovative Surface Dial will provide easy and instant access to the user's numerous frequented used icons. It would also provide the option for controlling the music for all the music applications. Various other menus, shortcuts and tools can also be accessed via the Surface Dial.
In its official website, Microsoft explained that the Surface Dial was invented for the users to interact in a more direct way with technology so that they can customize and navigate easily. The company said it wanted the users to "reimagine physical tools in the digital world from concept to creation."
The small circular dial can be attached to the screen. From there, the user can control the various applications and also navigate to other menus without difficulty.
Microsoft Surface Pro 5 specs include the latest Intel Kaby Lake processor, which will greatly enhance the battery life of the device. The processor will also increase the functionality and the performance of the upcoming device to a great extent. With the latest Kaby Lake processors, the upcoming 2-in-1 device will have better specs than Apple MacBook Pro, according to Forbes.
Surface Pen is expected to get a major upgrade as it will perform more functions. It will contain a rechargeable battery, which can be easily charged when it is magnetically linked to the Surface Pro 5. This is a massive improvement over the current Surface Pen, which can not charge in a wireless manner and instead relies on AAAA battery to function.
The Redmond-based company is planning to launch their flagship device with a very lightweight aluminum body, which may have 16 GB RAM along with 512 GB hard disk. With the inclusion of the latest Kaby Lake processors the device will also be able to support 4K resolution for better clarity.
