A Fanless design for Surface Pro

Microsoft Surface Pro 4 tablet will be presented in mid-May during a special press-event. Sources familiar with the Surface project development tell SlashGear that the next Surface generation will debut 1 year after its predecessor. The Pro 3 was announced on May 20^th 2014, while the 4^th Surface Pro is set for mid/late May 2015.

The upcoming release of the Surface Pro 4 in May won’t be unexpected as we have already started to read some rumors about the tablet giving information about its hardware. According to these rumors, the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 will have a fanless design and a thinner body, but will retain the holes known from the older generations.

The processor is said to be the 5^th generation Intel Core I (Broadwell). Other possible specs are the 12-inch screen with a 2160 x 1440 resolution, and a new generation Pen. As far as the accessories, the current Type Cover and Docking Station should be compatible with the 4^th Surface Pro.

Microsoft has recently presented the successor to the Surface 2, a 10.6-inch tablet running full Windows 8.1 OS instead of the dead Windows RT. All future tablet models by Microsoft will ship or will be upgraded to Windows for free.
