Microsoft revealed its Surface Pro 4 last year, which featured a vigorous processing power, amazing display, and a few add-on accessories. Now, in the next year, the Tech Giant is all set to bring its 2017 Microsoft Surface Pro 5 to the market. There's no doubt that the new laptop-cum-tablet will set up the bars even higher for Windows Tablets.

Although we were expecting Microsoft to reveal something regarding the new product in their October event, it was a complete no show. Still, as there are a huge number of leaks and Rumors, we can still predict what the new Device is going to be like. Here's what we know about the 2017 Microsoft Surface Pro 5 so far:

2017 Microsoft Surface Pro 5: Specs And Features

The upcoming 2-in-1 PC tablet will reportedly be amongst the most powerful devices to be coming in 2017. If Rumors and leaks are to be believed, the new device will feature a 4K/UHD display. The screen is expected to be either of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels, with a 16:9 ratio or 3,840 x 2,560 pixels, with a 3:2 ratio. As Microsoft uses 3:2 aspect ratio since the launch of its Surface Pro 3, the 2017 Microsoft Surface Pro 5 will most probably feature the latter screen size.

Powered by the recently launched sixth-generation Intel Kaby Lake chipsets, the 2017 Microsoft Surface Pro 5 will boost 16GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. Rumors also state that the new USB-C ports would replace the earlier USB 3.0 ports for aiding in faster charging as well as file transferring.

While no official reveal has been made regarding the Surface Pro 5 features, the battery life is expected to be something similar to the earlier versions. The Device will also include the Surface Pen as well as the earlier cover keyboard. The Surface Pen will automatically re-charge itself when attached to the tablet.

2017 Microsoft Surface Pro 5: Release Date and Price

Based on the prices of the previous year models, the Surface Pro 5 is expected to have a price tag between £700 and £1,000. Stay Tuned To SWR for more recent releases and updates on the 2017 Microsoft Surface Pro 5.
