Microsoft Surface Pro 5 release date, specs rumors 2016: Hybrid laptop to come out this year?
Microsoft appears to be pretty busy at the end of this year. According to several reports, the company is gearing up for several releases before the year 2016 ends. One of the most anticipated hardware releases this year is the upcoming Microsoft Surface Pro 5. The fifth generation Microsoft flagship laptop is said to come out as a hybrid device, which will give both Apple's MacBook Pro and iPad Pro 2 a run for their money in the market.

Since early this year, the upcoming hybrid laptop has been a favorite subject of numerous rumors and speculations all over the internet. Reports have emerged suggesting that the device will arrive packed with advanced specs and features at the end of the year. However, in a report by Mobile&Apps, there are rumors saying that Microsoft may not be able to complete the development of the device until next year.
According to ChristianToday, the new Intel processor will change people's perspective of what a computer should be in the future. According to the publication, the chipset is capable of processing the same amount of data with less the required hardware. It is definitely faster and more efficient than the current Intel processor in the market today. Intel also claims that the Kaby Lake will improve the battery life of the device.
One other factor why several tech observers believe that Microsoft will not release the device this year is its new operating system. According to reports, the company has yet to complete the development of its new OS dubbed as Windows 10 Redstone 2. The new software is said to bring several impressive features and fix the issues of the current Windows 10.
As of the moment, fans will have to wait for the company to make an official announcement before making any assumption.
