Microsoft Surface Pro 5 laptop is slated to hit the store shelves in October, and if rumors proved to be true, the device will enhance a picture-perfect 4K quality with an Ultra HD Display.

Not too long ago, the current Surface Pro model received a price cut of $280 on account of a 50-hour sale, wherein the sale concluded on August 20. The Microsoft Surface Pro 5 was expected to make an appearance in June; however that did not happen as Microsoft planned to add an array of awe-inspiring features to the said device in a bid to make a solid impression on the fans.

Despite its popularity, the Microsoft Surface Pro series has not been spared from flaws. The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 experienced a lot of battery issues, for instance. Its battery could reportedly last for nine hours.

Learning a lesson from the past, Microsoft is reportedly gearing up to pack a robust battery this time. Moreover, developers have left no stone unturned to ensure that the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 meets the expectations of the consumers. The fifth generation Microsoft Surface Pro 5 will pack a comparatively better battery and will also come with a Kaby Lake processor, The Country Caller reported.

Rumors are rife about the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 that the laptop would be a gaming-oriented device that may boast either a NVIDIA's Pascal or an AMD graphics processor "Polaris". Moreover, the laptop will reportedly replace the existing AAAA battery-powered stylus with a Surface Pen.

Equipped with 512GB eMMC storage space and a mammoth 16GB RAM, the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 is likely to be well-received by gamers as the device is packed with all the key elements prescribed for high performance and heavy gaming.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 featured a 2736×1824 resolution and a 12.3-inches touch screen display. The device runs on Windows 10 and comes with a 128GB storage capacity, an 8MP rear camera and 5MP front shooter and the Cortana Digital Assistant.

The Microsoft Surface 5 will be up for grabs in three categories: m3-6Y30 (900 MHz up to 2.2 GHz), i7-6650U (2.2 up to 3.4 GHz) and i5-6300U (2.4 up to 3.0 GHz), upheld by Intel Iris 540 graphics.

Optimistic Surface Pro fans are speculating that Microsoft Surface Pro 5 will be launched in October 2016, provided the Redmond based tech firm follows its release pattern. Microsoft Surface Pro 4 was released in October last year.

Microsoft Surface Pro 5 will be up for grabs for US$899 (AU$1,349), however the price is expected to rise based on the configuration and accessories you desire.
