The fifth-generation Surface Pro (marketed as the Surface Pro, colloquially referred to as the Surface Pro 2017) is a Surface-series 2-in-1 detachable, designed, developed, marketed, and produced by Microsoft. The Surface Pro was announced on May 23, 2017 at a public event held in Shanghai, China. The device is expected to launch in 26 different markets, together with the Surface Laptop and Surface Studio, on June 15.
All Surface Pro models feature 7th-generation Intel Kaby Lake Core processors - m3, i5, or i7 - which feature higher clock speeds over the Intel Skylake processors found in its predecessor. The new Kaby Lake chips also feature improved Speed Shift technology, allowing the processor to transition between CPU states quicker. For the first time, both the Core m3 and the Core i5 models are fanless.
RAM and SSD options available are 4, 8, 16 GB and 128, 256, 512, 1024 GB respectively, the same tiers that were available with Surface Pro 4.
In addition, the new Surface Pro features an enhanced kickstand which now opens to 165 degrees, allowing the device to lay flatter - a mode that Microsoft calls Studio Mode. Alongside the 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi radio, Bluetooth 4.1 Low Energy, there will now also be the option to purchase the Surface Pro with an LTE Advanced modem for cellular connectivity.
There is also a full-size USB 3.0 port, microSD card reader, headset jack, Mini DisplayPort, Cover Port, and the SurfaceConnect port to connect a wall charger, Docking Station or Surface Dock accessories.
