Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Release Date And Rumors Update: Next Microsoft Tablet Rumored To Launch Before Apple's iPad Pro

According to rumors, Apple might release the iPad Pro later this year but Microsoft seems to beat its competitor by launching the next version of its tablet-laptop hybrid sooner.

According to The Inquisitr, Microsoft is planning to launch the new Surface Pro 4 before Apple's release of the highly awaited tablet, iPad Pro.

Earlier, reports had suggested that Microsoft was planning to launch Surface Pro 4 sometime in July but the release date could be sooner than expected as the prices for the current Surface Pro 3 line have already been reduced.

Currently, the Surface Pro 3 bundle can be bought with a big $300 discount - which includes the slate plus four add-ons, namely a type cover, Microsoft Office 365, a sleeve, as well as an extended support plan.

According to PC Pro, the Surface Pro 4 will be launched in two models - first one could be a 12-inch version while other 14-inch. Both of these models will be powered by an Intel Core M Broadwill chip.
