Amid the absence of an official announcement from the company about the final release date of the Microsoft Surface Pro 5, a new report suggested that it might be available at the start of this year's fourth quarter.

What could be the reason behind this speculation?

Despite the fact that the waiting period may take a while, the online news outlet noted that it will be packed with features that anyone can boast of.

Among these is the Kaby Lake processor which is expected to make the battery of the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 become more efficient plus its 16GB RAM is said to be bring a better experience among its users.

It can be recalled that the battery performance of its predecessor has been its most complained about issue.

And to make the experience even more exciting, the tech site shared that it will be offered in two display variants - 2K and 4K.
