Microsoft Surface Pro 5 is one of the most anticipated device users are waiting for. A series of leaks and rumors is already floating around the device.

According to Forbes, it has been a year and a half since the release of Surface Pro 4. It was a huge upgrade to the predecessor Surface Pro 3. Surface Pro 4 featured a much larger screen with Windows 10.

October has always been the month of Microsoft. From the release of the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book in October 2015 to Surface Book i7 in October 2016, however the brand decided to opt out an update of Surface Pro last October.

Rumors are rife that the new Surface Pro 5 will start at $899 and with an Intel Core i7 the price will rise to $999, and if the user chose the i7 Extreme version the device will cost $1,599.

The release of Microsoft Surface Pro 5 is yet to be decided. Reportedly the devise is not expected to get an official market release until spring 2017.
