Even if Microsoft has just released its new Surface 3 laplet, rumors about the next Surface Pro device have continuously come out.
Obviously, many fans were disappointed not to see the rumored Surface Pro 4 during the recent BUILD conference. But reports have recently said that it might still be unveiled this month. Christian Times for instance in its report speculated that the device would be launched this May 20. The news outlet however did not mention any source or details about the launch. Slash Gear says Surface Pro 4 reveal would be mid-May.
But according to the International Business Times, there are also speculations that the device would come out this July since there have been reports that the new laplet would be released alongside the unveiling of the Windows 10.
And if these whispers are indeed true then we might finally get our hands on the next Surface Pro device this July as there has been evidence that Windows 10 might come out in that particular month.
Cited as source was The Verge, which quoted AMD president and CEO Lisa Su saying "With the Windows 10 launch at the end of July, we are watching sort of the impact of that on the back-to-school season, and expect that it might have a bit of a delay to the normal back-to-school season inventory build-up."
Reports about the laplet's potential release have been conflicting. For one, Inquisitr reported that it is likely that the next Microsoft Surface Pro laplet would come out this October citing industry analyst Paul Mueller who said, "The Surface Pro 3 is selling just as well as it did when it first came out. Even though people expected a June or July release for the Pro 4, it probably won't happen until Windows 10 is released. That way, Microsoft could capitalize on both Windows 10 and the new Surface Pro at the same time."
Nothing is confirmed at the moment but many are still hoping that it would come out.
Motley Fool earlier predicted that the new device would just be an "enhanced version" of its predecessor Surface Pro 3 as its processors would be the only thing to be upgraded. However, the news outlet in a separate report noted the possibility of the laplet being LTE-capable. BGR detailed that the Surface Pro 4 is expected to be available in two size options -- a 12-inch one and a 14-inch one. It is said to be available with an Intel Core i5 processor or with a Core i7 processor. Its RAM is expected to be at 16GB. Microsoft has not yet confirmed these reports.
