Microsoft’s 2017 Surface Pro 5 Laptop Can Assume 4K Tablet Form [VIDEO]
It is likely that Microsoft will unravel a huge surprise next year. It is also likely that a laptop upgrade is underway.
Since the Surface Pro 4 has been launched in October 2015, anticipation has been high that the Redmond-headquartered tech group will roll out a new version this year. However, the Surface Book i7 and the Surface Studio have been revealed.
The upcoming Windows 10 Edition, which has also been branded as the Creators Update, according to PC Advisor, is yet to be released. Thus, it is likely that the software will be presented together with the new Surface Pro 5 unit.
When Microsoft entered the handy and convenient computer market, observers have criticized the organization for unleashing a product that is yet to be accepted by many. When the 2-in-1 concept of doubling the laptop as a tablet has been made public, the item becomes a distinctive hit.
With CEO Satya Nadella on board, Microsoft has silenced its critics as the team went on a streak to innovate the Surface series. With the Pro 5 in the horizon, the possibility of enhancing an established gadget seems to be boundless.
The success of the 2-in-1 idea has provided enough leeway for Microsoft to pursue its technological plans. Turning a laptop into a tablet and vice versa has validated the risky moves taken by the organization.
Sources reveal that the forthcoming Surface Pro will be loaded with the new Windows 10 Redstone 3 system. In addition, Intel will be supplying the Kaby Lake processor that will be running the unit.
It is also perceived that Microsoft's next flagship will be featuring a 16GB RAM. The item will have a 512GB storage space. What is worth watching for the Pro 5 is the availability of the Surface pen.
Considering that Microsoft will be unveiling an array of new high definition tablets in 2017, the detachable frame of the Surface Pro 5 hints that it will employ a similar 4K capability.
