Microsoft Surface Pro 5 UPDATED Release, News: 2 in 1 to Launch Alongside Xbox Project Scorpio [Video]

The much-anticipated Microsoft Surface Pro 5 arrival could happen very soon if recent rumors are any indication. Speculations say that the rumored gadget may be unveiled at the upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 in Barcelona, Spain. However, there's also a possibility that Microsoft's 2 in 1 hybrid laptop will be launched alongside the Xbox Project Scorpio and the HoloLens.

The reason behind the rumor regarding the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 to launch alongside the Xbox Project Scorpio and the HoloLens is the LinkedIn post of the Microsoft's product designer Toby Fitch. He has posted on his LinkedIn profile that he worked for the company since June 2016 for the hardware department. The description of Fitch's LinkedIn profile stated that, "the team is focused on R&D and creating new speech models with multidisciplinary design approach for devices of the future including but not limited to: HoloLens, Surface Pro 5, Xbox," Trusted Reviews reported.

However, another strong evidence of Microsoft Surface Pro 5's existence is the recently leaked images, which are coming from the Microsoft French Website, but the image was then deleted. Judging from the similarities with Surface Pro 5's predecessors in terms of build and design, the leaked image reveals a Microsoft Surface Pro device, Fred Zone reported. The leaked image of the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 also confirms hybrid device running on Windows 10.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 5 is said to come along with Intel's Kaby Lake processor and a 4K display. Apart from the high-end specs, the forthcoming Microsoft device is speculated to have a kickstand, USB-C, keyboard base and Pen stylus. The Surface Pen would come with a rechargeable battery that charges wirelessly when magnetically attached to the tablet.

For the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 price, 2 in 1 hybrid laptop is rumored to have a price tag of around $900 up to $1300. Even though the release date of the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 is still unconfirmed, tech patrons are hoping to hear any announcement from the tech giant all-year round of 2017, as the Microsoft has slashed off Surface Pro 4's price so this could indicate the imminent arrival of the Microsoft Surface Pro 5.
