Taisol Electronics and Chaun-Choung Technology will be providing cooling modules for the SP4. Companies like ITE Tech, Realtek and Winbond are some of the other chip suppliers for the Surface Pro 4.
Microsoft is currently shipping more than 300,000 Surface Pro 3 units at present. However, for the forthcoming model, the company is rumored to increase the orders by 500,000 - 600,000 units per month. To expand the sales of the tablet, Microsoft may launch it in India.
The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is speculated to be featuring the Intel Skylake processor. The device is expected to feature a 12-inch display like the one present on the Surface Pro 3. It will come shipped with Windows 10 operating system onboard, Win Beta reported.
