Microsoft Surface Pro 4 release date prompted various speculations and various sources say that the device will be launched either in July or October.

After the device did not show up at the company's Build Developer conference late last month, rumors claimed that the new generation of the tablet-laptop will arrive in July. This is in line with Microsoft's launch pattern. However, other publications are pointing to a possible October release date, according to Master Herald. Microsoft is brave enough to battle head with Apple's usual iPad announcement.

Meanwhile, the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 specs and features are still unconfirmed and rumors claimed that the company will be generous in the upcoming device. The device will reportedly be powered by the new "Skylake" processor from Intel, according to Cross Map. "Skylake" chipset is the follow-up to the "Broadwell" SoC released late last year. Previous reports stated that the device will pack either the Intel Core-M chipset or the Intel Broadwell processor, which will yield to a slimmer and lighter profile and fanless design.

Other purported features of the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 are: 12-inch screen display with 2K pixel resolution, stylus, USB Type-C port, Windows 10 operating system. Just like the previous Microsoft Surface Pro 3, the device will sport a keyboard accessory that will transform the device into an ultra-portable laptop. The Redmond-based tech giant previously indicated that it would ensure compatibility of accessories like its Type Cover 3 and Docking Station with future generations of the Pro.

However, Microsoft has not confirmed nor denied the speculations yet, but more information will come to light as we move closer to the release date of the device.
