It's probably high time that Microsoft announces some details about its high-anticipated devices Microsoft Surface Pro 5 and Microsoft Surface Book 2. The company can at least confirm whether the devices are coming any time soon or not.
Microsoft can also clarify during its October 2016 event certain rumors that have been making rounds for a long time now such as existence of a Surface Phone and cancellation of its Lumia Windows Phone series. Dearth of any official statements from Microsoft regarding Microsoft Surface Pro 5 is making fans restless.
While it is impossible to say what the company will reveal during the October event, it should announce some of its devices that are lined up for release, writes iTech Post. Fans have nearly given up hope for a 2016 release of the new Surface devices, including Microsoft Surface Pro 5 and Microsoft Surface Book 2.
However, the excitement surrounding the devices is still alive and kicking though Microsoft has reportedly decided to refresh Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book instead. A source close to the company has revealed that Microsoft will be using the October event to release better processors for the two devices, which include Microsoft Surface Pro 5 and Microsoft Surface Book 2.
The Verge had reported last week that Microsoft is planning to launch a new Surface device this year and in 2017, it would launch three more. This was hinted by the company about two months ago. Naturally, everyone expected a Microsoft Surface Book 2 or a Microsoft Surface Pro 5 release as the All-In-One Surface PC was not on anyone's radar.
Thus, it seems Microsoft Surface Pro 5 fans will have to wait a bit longer for their favorite device to be even announced. All they are getting as of now are revamped previous models. The Surface All-In-One Surface PC, known as Cardinal, may be revealed in the October event.
As Microsoft is reportedly including the Intel Kaby Lake processor in the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 model, the launch does not seem like now but in 2017. The Kaby Lake processors are set to be launched later this year. Stay tuned to GamenGuide for more Microsoft Surface Pro 5 news and updates!
