Apple's iPad Pro has always been the most dominant device in the tablet computer industry ever since it was released. However, it is not the only prominent device in the niche since there is also the Surface Pro lineup from Microsoft. For the first time, the Windows OS maker is set to topple the iPad Pro from its spot with the release of the much-awaited Surface Pro 5.

According to the publication, the much-awaited fifth-generation Surface Pro will be $100 higher than its precursor, something that does not come as a surprise considering the improvements in specs and features.

With regard to the processor, the forthcoming Surface Pro 5 is said to run on Intel's Kaby Lake SoC, which will depend entirely on the delivery schedules. The new processor will bring new features to the Surface Pro 5, including increased battery life and better USB support. The two features are apparently two major flaws associated the Surface Pro 4 because of its Skylake processor.

Furthermore, there are high chances that the Kaby Lake processor will bring 4K display support for the Surface Pro 5. As a result, users can expect seeing the much-anticipated UHD displays.

When it comes to the release date, it is said that the Surface Pro 5 will come out next month, which will be exciting for avid fans, according to The Country Caller. The fact that the tablet computer will sport the USB Type-C port for better data transfer and faster charging is more than enough to get fans fascinated.
