Other rumors point to the fact that the Microsoft Surface 5 will weigh less than the 1.76 pounds that the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 has packed into the body. That will make the Microsoft Surface 5 more portable and seemingly impossible since other sources claim the battery will be larger, bringing the all important battery life meter a little higher.
The Microsoft Surface 5 has also been rumored to include a fingerprint scanner that is embedded in the screen so that you do not need the keyboard in order to scan your fingerprint. This new feature will also make the tablet more portable, which is exactly what the company should be working on.
At this point, Microsoft has not revealed any exact date you can purchase the Surface 5, however, most of the tablets were released during September or October. It would be safe to say that the company is going to stick with that timeline when it comes to releasing a brand new version of the Surface tablet.
