Here is what's new, and why the new device is very much the sum of all of its parts. Microsoft announced the brand- new Surface Pro, the fifth iteration of its Surface tablet series, today in Shanghai, China. The device is due to launch globally on June 1. Microsoft is shunning its previous numbering system for the Surface Pro name this time and will not use "5," as anticipated. In other words, the "Surface Pro 5" is simply called Surface Pro. On the outside, the new Surface Pro looks very much like the Surface Pro 4.

But looks can be deceiving. With more than 8. Surface Pen, and optional 4. G LTE, the "most versatile laptop" is a testament to Microsoft's need for perfection.

What's changed with the new Surface Pro? Here are the main changes and new features with Surface Pro for 2. Many improvements come in the form of hardware changes and refinements, but there are some minor stylistic changes as well.

Here's a list of modifications: Intel Core i. Restructured chassis with smoother, rounded edges. Thinner radial vents and new "whisper quiet" thermal system. Optional 4. G LTE with nano SIM and e. SIM support; no visible antenna lines. Redesigned kickstand opens to 1. New Surface Pen with 4,0.

Front- facing camera is now "blacked out" to fade into bezel. Brand- new Alcantara Type Cover in platinum, burgundy and cobalt blue. Intel Iris Plus Graphics 6. Core i. 7 model. Support for on- screen Surface Dial usage. While many of those advances may seem incremental, when you add them all together they make for an impressive refresh. It is clear Microsoft is not messing with a winning formula.

Ever since the Surface Pro 3, the company figured out what the ultimate 2- in- 1 PC should look like. Surface Pro 4 improved upon it further and now the fifth- generation Surface Pro takes the design to the next level. Surface Pro (fifth gen) technical specifications. Category. Specification.

Due later this year, an option for 4. G LTE will be available for the first time in the Surface Pro series. There are no physical differences between the LTE and non- LTE variants, and there are no antenna lines or thicker display bezels where modem components typically reside.

The same can be said for the battery and 4. G radio. The system takes a traditional nano SIM card, but the new Surface Pro will also support upcoming electronic SIMs (e. SIM), as well. Refined design for 2.

The corners of the Surface Pro are now less angular, with softer edges. It's a subtle change, but those rounded corners make holding the device supremely enjoyable. The radial vent for heat dissipation is also reduced compared to the previous generation, which is more impressive for the Core i.

That model is now completely fanless, joining the lower Core M3 variant. The Core i. 7, though, still maintains a fan because Microsoft wants you to push that processor as hard as you can. New curved edges give the Surface Pro a subtle, softer feel in the hand. The Surface kickstand is improved, as well.

You can now push it nearly all the way back so that Surface Pro can be used at a 1. The Surface Dial also works directly on the display, too, due to popular request. The Surface Pen with new inking co- processor.

Nothing is more essential to the Surface Pro than its pen, and there too Microsoft made advances. With 4,0. 96 levels of pressure, the new Surface Pen doubles the previous generation's sensitivity, which was at 1,0. Surface Laptop (left) next to new Surface Pro (right). Latency also drops from 4. Surface Pro's GPU to the digitizer.

Digital ink feels like it pours out from the Surface Pen with almost no discernable delay. It's an astonishing accomplishment, and for the first time, it genuinely blurs the analog and digital inking worlds.

For those who complained that the Surface Pen didn't have good tilt and rotation support, Microsoft solved that, too. Even the magnets feel stronger when you attach the pen to the side. These advancements were accomplished without major effects on Pen battery life, which is still estimated at one year. Instant- on and double the battery life.

Another advancement with the new Surface Pro is power management. Part of that is due to the new seventh Generation Intel "Kaby Lake" processors, but a lot of it is also tied to Windows 1. New Alcantara Type Covers in three new colors.

Hitting the power button results in the Surface Pro coming to life just like a true tablet. Microsoft claims that this ability makes the Surface Pro truly a tablet- killer, because the experience is now on par with competitor offerings and experiences.

For battery life, Microsoft claims 1. Surface Pro 4 battery, while also being 2.

Still the same I/O ports and no Type- COne area of potential controversy is the similar port offerings for the new Surface Pro. The latest version forgoes a modern USB Type- C port and instead relies on USB Type- A, mini Display, micro. SD card, and the Surface. Connect power port. The new kickstand lets the Surface Pro go lower than ever. That's not to say Microsoft did not prototype USB Type- C – it did – but legacy support for the Surface Dock and market confusion over USB Type- C led the company to stick with the current Type- A version only, Microsoft says.
