Microsoft has not specified until when the promotion will run, but Tech Times advised buyers that this is the best time to buy the award-winning Microsoft Surface Pro 3.

One the other hand, rumors claimed that Microsoft Surface Pro 4 release will show off two variants of the tablet-laptop hybrid - one with 12-inch screen panel and another one with 14-inch display. Both models will allegedly sport a 2160 x 1440 screen resolution.

Aside from more options in screen display, the device will also pack Intel Core M Broadwell just like the current Apple MacBook. The tablet-laptop hybrid will run with Windows 10 operating system. The new OS will enable the tablet to have borderless transfer from desktop to mobile devices or the other way around. Moreover, Microsoft Surface Pro 4 will now be able to run desktop apps.

The current Microsoft Surface Pro 3 garnered recognition from critics and users. The tablet also received the "best tablet" award at the Mobile World Congress earlier this month. However, the Redmond-based tech giant has not confirmed the rumored Microsoft Surface Pro 4 release date.
