After the massive success enjoyed by the previously released Microsoft hybrids, rumors sprung up on the internet that the Surface Pro line-up from Microsoft has finally come to its end. This issue was soon cleared by Microsoft when they declared that their PC hybrid production would surely keep going.
The General Manager for Surface, Brian Hall, discarded the rumors entirely and declared that their latest line of Surface 3 accessories will be compatible with their ‘next’ range of Surface Pro line-up devices. This information was published in the official website for the Surface Blog.
These statements from Hall not only discarded the rumors but possibly provided solid evidence regarding the release of the new Microsoft Surface Pro 4. People are anticipating that this upcoming personal computing device will be another brick in the wall for Microsoft’s successful label of Laptop-like devices.
If the people using Surface Pro 3 wish to upgrade to the latest Surface Pro 4, they will not face much difficulty. It seems like the two devices will be exactly compatible in nature. Questions have been raised regarding how compatible these two devices will be. Let us take a look at a brief comparison that pits the older Microsoft Surface Pro 3 against the upcoming Microsoft Surface Pro 4.
First and foremost, let’s take a look at the accessories of the predecessor that will be compatible with the successor. From the look of things, the Ethernet adapter, power, docking station accessory along with the cover keyboards will be completely compatible with the upcoming device.
Meanwhile, the Surface Pro 4 will be more superior through with the help of its updated operating system. It will make the device faster and snappier than its predecessor. According to certain rumors and speculations, the Surface Pro 4 features a new and upgraded Windows 10 operating system as compared to Windows 8.1 in its predecessor.
Let us now take a look at the hardware and see how they fare when compared to each other. According to the latest speculations, both of these tablet-like computers will have the same 12inch IPS LCD screen with the same display resolution and at 216 pixels per inch.
