Microsoft might unveil Surface Pro 5 in upcoming event

Microsoft has confirmed to MobileSyrup that the Intel Core i5 variant of its new Surface Laptop will be "generally available" for purchase in Canada on June 15th, the same day that it becomes available in the USA and many other global markets.

It'll be interesting to see if Microsoft's plans actually work out here.

Microsoft this week introduced a new version of Windows 10 aimed primarily at users in education, and designed as an alternative to Google's Chrome OS. Microsoft's Window chief, Terry Myerson, stated that the basic difference of Windows 10 S from Windows 10 is that it will just run apps that are downloaded from the Windows Store.

Nadella and the Microsoft under his command has demonstrated that it understands that people want more functionality from their computers, without the need to jump between a myriad of complex services and software; both Office 365 and Windows 10 are less software and more a collection of Microsoft's latest smart features.

To restrict Windows 10 to just store apps, click Start, open Settings and click on Apps. After the free upgrade offer to Windows 10 Pro expires, users will still be able to switch for $50.

Tech fans and experts previously called the Microsoft Windows 10 S as Windows 10 Cloud. The Windows 10 Insider build 16188 also includes integrated Cortana settings, better viewing and navigation, and an improved PDF Reader for Edge. That is, unless they try to move after the last day of this year, 2017.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 has been around since 2015 and is due to get a successor. That's the same price everyone else will be paying, save all other Windows 10 S devices priced $799 or higher. According to him, the Surface Pro 5 will not present any dramatic differences over the other model. It features a 13.5in PixelSense display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, while the interior panel and keyboard bay are, interestingly, covered in fabric. Aside from aiming to compete Apple's MacBook, the Surface Pro is the first device installed with Microsoft's newest operating system, the Windows 10 S. Aspiring owners can already pre-order the item now which will begin shipping by June 15. The Redmond company does have a wide array of Surface series variants - meaning the tweet by Panay could be addressing a different kind of machine in the clan.
