Microsoft Surface Pro 4 release date is reportedly in July, but it will not be as powerful as it predecessor - Surface Pro 3.
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.
Other 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.
Meanwhile, reports claimed that Microsoft purposely delayed the release of Microsoft Surface Pro 4, which was initially rumored to arrive at the company's Build Developer Conference, to coincide with the release of Windows 10, which will be a selling point of the device as Windows 10 will offer new features that will yield to better and faster performance.
It seems that the company wants to make a bigger impact than it did last year by releasing the hybrid device with a new operating system from Microsoft.
