Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Update: Partnership with Dell Gets New Phablet Into Offices
Microsoft is getting aggressive with the Surface Pro 4, even ahead of its release date. Teaming up with Dell allows the company to penetrate more offices with their new products, Surface Pro 4 and Windows 10.
According to an official report from Microsoft, Dell will be offering the Surface Pro line commercially starting October. These devices will include additional perks such as Dell Hardware Warranty for up to four years, ProSupport with Accidental Damage Service and Configuration and Deployment Services.
This move is executed as part of Microsoft's "Software Enterprise Initiative," a campaign focused on improving businesses by using Microsoft devices and its new flagship operating system.
"We want to move people from needing, to choosing, to loving Windows and so do our partners," Microsoft chief executive officer Satya Nadella said in the press release. "Our global enterprise customers have asked us to match the Surface Pro 3 and Windows 10 experience with enterprise-grade support and services — and our partnerships like this one with Dell will do just that."
For their part, Dell is equally excited in kicking off the partnership, according to Dell chairman and chief executive officer Michael Dell.
"Windows 10 is off to a great start, and we're ready to help make the transition to Windows 10 as easy as possible for all of our customers," Dell said. "Together with Microsoft, we are giving our customers great products, including Surface, with the best sales, service and support in the world."
Other Windows tablets that will be sold on Dell include the Venue Pro and Latitude 2-in-1 devices. But predictably, the Surface Pro 4 is at the forefront and long-time users are already looking forward to its unveiling.
According to a report from Design & Trend, the newest Surface Pro model will be coming in two different sizes, a 12-inch device and a 14-inch one. Both will feature the same 2160 x 1440 pixel resolution as its acclaimed predecessor.
One of the most exciting features for the upcoming Surface Pro is its new Intel processor, the Skylake, which is reportedly faster and more powerful than ever. Fans can expect better performance from the handy "phablet" due to its upgraded hardware.
A report from Tech Times said that the new Surface Pro gadget is expected to cost around $800 dollars, with the bigger version adding $100 to $150 for the expanded screen size.
While Microsoft has remained mum about the specifics and the release date, the new Surface Pro device is expected to be launched in October 2015.
