'Microsoft Surface Pro 5' Latest Speculations Shows The Company's Alternative Approach; Unveiling Expected On Spring Event

The highly anticipated "Microsoft Surface Pro 5"will reportedly receive a different approach from the company. The device is expected to be unveiled on the company's upcoming Spring event.

According to Forbes, several analysts are anticipating the launching of the latest Surface hardware during the company's yearly spring event. In addition, there is a general belief that an update to the hybrid Surface Pro device is a great possibility. On the other hand, the next generation Surface Book most likely will not get a launch on the same event.

For several months already, "Microsoft Surface Pro 5" has been the center of speculations and its name has been all over the Internet. Predictions of the technical specifications, as well as features of the device, have been rife. The company, amidst all these, has been very tight-lip revealing nothing now.

One of the latest speculations pointing to the upcoming "Microsoft Surface Pro 5" is that it will be released with Intel Kaby Lake processor. Paul Thurrott who is one of many Microsoft watchers anticipating the product's release later confirmed the information. According to him, his sources have revealed that aside from that information, the device will maintain its present power connector as found on the "Surface Pro 4" and the "Surface Book." This is opposed to the previous reports that the upcoming device will sport a USB- Type C connector.

Furthermore, the alleged update that Microsoft will apply from the Surface Pro 4 to the Surface Pro 5 must be viewed in the same way as Apple updates the "2015 MacBook Pro" to the "2016 MacBook Pro." The only difference is Microsoft's approach to computing in 2017. Apple's way of concentrating on its hardware showed us what it could do, one example is the integration of the Touch Bar. On the other hand, Microsoft's approach with the upcoming "Surface Pro 5" is to showcase what the current hardware can do with the software-based technology in "Windows 10" along with its cloud services.
