Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is the gizmo that takes the place of bulkier and more cumbersome laptops and computers. The current Surface Pro offering is already outstanding, and tech outlets and fans are wondering how Microsoft will further perk up the already supreme amalgam. Additionally, its hold in the market remains strong and intact as it enters its seventh month in the showground. But as fresh as the optimal hybrid is, rumors and speculations about its would-be successor are already gaining incredible impetus. With conjectures and wishful thinking combined, an image of the upcoming Microsoft Surface Pro 4 has already been established. 

Many imagine the Surface Pro 4 to come in two sizes — one with an 8-inch screen, the other 14-inch, 2 inches bigger than its precursor. Along with it are expectations of a more powerful processor. Intel has introduced its energy-saving Core M processors that do away with the cooling fans implanted in computers. With their timely launching, chances of having them under Surface Pro 4's hood are big. In turn, this will make the device look as sleek and classy as its forecasted impressive performance. 

On the other hand, the opportune arrival of Windows 10 increases the possibility of Surface Pro 3's new brother being the first-ever gadget laden with the new operating system. The work to polish the upcoming OS is nonstop at the moment (it is still for testing by members of the Windows Insider program) but rumor has it that its official unveiling will simultaneously ensue with the introduction of the Surface Pro 4. 

According to Crossmap, the Surface Pro 4 is rumored to come out by mid-2015 to early 2016. Pricing is obviously shrouded in mystery, still. However, with $800 to $1,400 price tag currently attached to the Surface Pro 3, shell out for its upgrade has nowhere to go but up.
