Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Release Date All-Set? Windows 10 Hybrid Expected to Lead Ultrabook Market! Specs, Features & Price Rumors Here
Reports are claiming that Microsoft's rumored hybrid device, the Surface Pro 4, will lead the ultrabook market when it gets released.
Geek Snack claimed that the hybrid gadget "is gaining traction and people are starting to realize the potential of such devices." Though there is a lack of official reports when it comes to the Surface Pro 4, industry sources of the news outlet assured users that the laptop/tablet is still to be expected.
In addition, Microsoft is said to produce "niche devices" in the mobile aspect, which means that the successor for the Lumia 940 and Lumia 1020, the Lumia 1030, will come out alongside the Surface Pro 4. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a letter to his employees that the corporation's products will undergo "change" and "reorientation," Geek Snack wrote.
