A Surface Pro 5 is highly likely to be star of the MicrosoftEvent but all is speculation at this point event after the two direct hints by company directly. Paul Thurrot recently in tweet told the Surface Pro 5 will not change the Surface connect power connector and it will feature the Intel’s Kay Lake processor.
Surface Pro 5 will not change the Surface Connect power connector, I was just told. Kaby Lake, nothing dramatic.
