Microsoft is pretty much all set to unveil its laptop/tablet combo Surface Pro 4 in July although the Redmondian company has yet to make an announcement regarding the specific launching date or the other key features and details of the device.
However, there are just too much information already going around the internet with regards to its specifications and features that it would just be a matter of time before Microsoft finally confirms them.
High among the key features of the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is that it will come out in two variants – a 12-inch version and a 14-inch variant.
But now, latest information obtained by Venture Capital Post indicate that the tablet/combo device shall have a stylus pen, which is also being rumored to be featured in the upcoming iPad Pro to be launched by Apple later this year.
If there is truth to this report, then the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 would come out as the first tablet to feature a built-in pen stylus. While current tablets offer the option to use stylus, the device is usually an accessory and is not part of the tablets from out of the box.
Rolling out with Windows 10
It has been also widely believed that while the Surface Pro 4 is already completed, Microsoft is just waiting for the right timing to launch it to the retail markets.
Many people think that the Redmondian company is just holding out to ensure that when its latest laptop/tablet combo comes out, it shall already have the Windows 10 as its mobile operating system.
Microsoft is now working to launch the full version of Windows 10 and it seems likely that the American tech company will be doing it either in June or July, which may also be simultaneous with the roll out of the Surface Pro 4.
Unveiling and other features
Latest word from the grapevine hinted that Microsoft is planning to unveil its next-generation Surface Pro 4 tablet/laptop combo during the upcoming Microsoft Build Developer Conference to be held on April 29 to May 1 at San Francisco, California.
After its formal unveiling, the Surface Pro 4 is projected to be officially released in July to the retail markets.
As for the other key features of the laptop/tablet combo, it has long been reported that the 12-inch variant shall be powered by a new Intel processor that offers fan-less experience. It shall also come out in 2K screen resolution of 2160 x 1440 pixels.
Reports also have it that the 14-inch model shall be powered by either an Intel i5 or i7 processor. The device shall also come with the option of a Type Cover keyboard or one with a sturdier hinge. It shall have a RAM of from 8 GB to 16 GB and shall have a maximum internal storage capacity of 1 TB.
While Microsoft has yet to make a formal announcement about the retail price of the Surface Pro 4, it is believed that it will come out in the price range from $1,200 to $2,000.
