The Redmond-based has been offering discounts since Christmas last year. Now, the company is again going clear all. At present, they are giving their customers huge price cuts on Surface products such as Surface Pro and Surface Book. According to Thurrott, the entry-level of Surface Book is now having a price tag of $1,299 coming from $1,499.

The sale will be available there until Feb. 25.
Moreover, a report from Market Exclusive claims that the new Microsoft Surface Pro 5 might be coming with full support for the recently unveiled Microsoft Surface Dial. The Surface Dial was initially unveiled with the company's new all-in-one desktop computer, the Microsoft Surface Studio. Additionally, apart from the Surface Dial, the next-generation Microsoft Surface Pro 5 is also rumored to get a all new rechargeable Surface Pen. This accessory is expected to offer greater functionality as well.
On the specs front the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 is expected to be coming with the latest generation Intel Kaby Lake processors paired with up to 16GB of RAM. This combination will give the device a boost in both performance and battery life. According to Forbes, the new Microsoft Surface Pro 5 may even exceed the latest Apple MacBook Pro in terms of raw performance because of the newer chip.
Now, because of this recent massive sale from the company, rumor hints that Microsoft would soon release their new tablet i.e. Microsoft Surface Pro 5. Previous reports have revealed that the launch of the device will take place sometime in spring. However, the exact date was not disclosed as the company has remained silent about it. On the other hand, it looks like the device will roll out sooner than expected.
This ongoing sale will certainly clear out some space on retail shops. Some also interpret that, it as a way of Microsoft to prepare their retailers for their upcoming device. So the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 must be around the corner and can get release before than expected.
