The Surface Pro 3 was released last year in June and now the successor model, the Surface Pro 4 is expected to release soon. The arrival of the device is predicted to coincide with the Windows 10 release date in the second half of the year. New leaks from a Chinese website 36KR have revealed a lot on the Surface Pro 4 specs.

According to Windows Central, like the predecessor, the Surface Pro 4 will also be laptop-tablet hybrid device. It will powered by the Intel 5th generation Broadwell. The previous rumours suggest it will be powered with Intel Core M processor.

The device will be sporting a fanless design. It will come with very small holes through which heat will be emitted. The fanless logic board system will ensure that it won’t make any noise. The Surface Pro 4 will be slimmer device compared to the predecessor model. However, it will weigh more than the Surface Pro 3.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 was earlier speculated to come out in two display variants of 12-inch and 14-inch. However, the new information on Windows Central states that only a 12-inch device is expected. The display resolution of the Surface Pro 4 will be same as of the older model. The Surface Pro 3 supports 2160 x 1440 pixels resolution on its 12-inch screen along with 216 ppi.

Other features like the kickstand, display frame, connectivity ports and the battery will be very similar to that of the SP3. Quite often it has been observed that the purported specs of an upcoming device are full of odd technologies. Hence, the Windows Central report says that the recently leaked specs of Surface Pro 4 seem to be believable. The design of the Surface Pro 3 is not perfect but by tweaking it and adding new features; a successor device can be built.
