Following the massive discounts of the current-gen Microsoft Surface Pro 3, currently selling at $800, speculations arise pointing out to the arrival of the tablet's next reiteration, the Surface Pro 4.

A report from the Inquistr cited PC Pro saying that the Redmond, Washington-based tech giant might have some groundbreaking device that it will unveil probably towards the mid-part of the year.

The site went on to say that the alleged Surface Pro 4 will likely to hit the stores in two variants: a 12-inch model and a 14-incher device. Both, according to PC Pro will have a 2160 x 1440 screen resolution and will house an Intel Core M Broadwell chip. Furthermore, it will be running on the latest Windows 10 OS.

Set to rival yet another popular productivity device, the Apple MacBook Air 2015, the Surface Pro 4 will have a 16 GB of RAM and a storage capacity of 1 TB. Rumored to come out in the March 9 Apple Watch unveiling event, the 12.9-incher Retina tablet will meanwhile feature a sleeker, more streamlined design.

Another competition in the market would be that of the already outed Dell XPS 13 laptop which, according to IBTimes, houses a 13-inch full HD display, an Intel Core i5 processor clocking at 1.6 GHz, and a 4 GB of RAM.

It has also been found out that Microsoft is at the moment, working on other devices to add up in the Surface Pro line. IBTimes said that it could either be a Surface Pro Mini tablet or a Surface-branded flagship smartphone. It was claimed that the mini edition will be powered with Intel Atom processor.
