Microsoft Surface Pro 4 release will reportedly happen next month, but the tablet-laptop may disappoint the waiting fans as the device is rumored to pack not-so-much upgrades.
Previous rumors claimed that Microsoft Surface Pro 4 will come in various model variants such as 8 inch, 12 inch, and 14 inch sizes. However, new rumors claimed that the Surface Pro 4 will just arrive in a single screen size like its predecessor.
Another alleged mediocre feature of the upcoming Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is its Intel processor. According to AutooMobile, the upcoming Microsoft Surface Pro 4 will pack Intel processor released last year that while will prolong the battery life of the device, will have less processing power than the chipset packed in Surface Pro 3.
The Surface Pro 4 tablet-laptop hybrid 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.
Meanwhile, some of the purported features of the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 are: 12-inch screen display with 2K pixel resolution, stylus, and USB Type-C port. 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.
Moreover, 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.
Microsoft Surface Pro 4 rumored release date is in July alongside with Windows 10 roll out. However, Microsoft has not announced the official launch of the device.
