The demands to release the Surface Pro 5 are rising, but Microsoft has remained mum on the definitive time to release the product. There are even claims arising that Microsoft might have to face the reality of a delayed release owing to the hurdles of product development.

Despite the speculations, there has been no confirmation from the tech giant regarding the authenticity of the notions. A former report shared that there were a couple of events rumored to be the tipping point where Microsoft was said to unveil Microsoft Surface Pro 5, but none of these past events showed the said device.

The supposedly next Microsoft Surface Pro device was considered to be the main attraction at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 early this year but it has spawned disappointment from the varying audiences.

As for the specs and features of the highly acclaimed device, it is rumored to integrate new technologies and innovations. According to the same post, the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 is likely to have 16GB RAM, 512GB storage capacity, and a rechargeable Surface Pen and the Surface Pro is also reportedly going to have a USB Type-C support and a robust battery.

Meanwhile, PC Advisor stated, "The new Surface will use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 635 processor instead of an Intel Kaby Lake chip. The benefits of this would be longer battery life, and potentially the addition of LTE for mobile connectivity."

For the tech enthusiasts waiting for the release of the Microsoft Surface Pro 5, there have been no press releases from Microsoft indicating the product's launch. That being said, all rumors should be taken with a grain of salt in mind.
