The long-awaited Surface Pro 5 may finally see the light of the day. The only piece of supporting evidence is that it has passed certification in China.

Coming to what changes / new features Surface Pro 5 brings over Surface Pro 4, we can expect Kaby Lake Processor and USB-C type slot for sure. There have been rumors about UHD display and Surface Pen with some exciting features like color-sensing tip & display too. Surface Pen may be rechargeable too.

Surface Cloudbook running Windows 10 Cloud

New leaks claim that the product will be called Surface CloudBook. If introduced, this will be a new category or just Surface 4 with a new design running windows 10 Cloud Edition may be unveiled altogether. Rumors have it that it may comes with a Clamshell design. A cheap Surface 4 running Windows 10 Cloud Edition may be targeted at Education Sector as a worthy competitor to Chrome Books.
