Photos taken from the Surface Office of Microsoft in Redmond, Washington have surfaced via Twitter. From the photos, it seems that there is a new Surface product that will be released before the end of 2016. Another three are due for release in 2017.
According to Windows Central, the images were from Shubhan Chemburkar, who is a developer. The photos were taken from Microsoft's campus. The publication goes on to share that the 2016 placeholder is particularly interesting, especially because of the Surface All-In-One rumor. The Surface AIO is expected to be an exciting alternative and competitor to Apple's strong line of MacBooks.
Meanwhile, the 2017 placeholders are expected to be new Surface Tablets or the next in Microsoft's Surface Book 2-in-1 notebook.
If the company is planning to expand its Surface Pro line, there is a lot to follow. The reigning Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is doing quite well. As Tech Radar notes, Microsoft made all the right changes and upgrades from its predecessor.
The Surface Pro 4 has the same all-magnesium, unibody casing, but is 12.3 inches this time. Despite the slight increase in screen size, it has kept most of its predecessor's internal blueprint.
The team of Microsoft was able to place the Surface Pro 4's optical stack closer to the glass. The optical stack consists of the series of sensors, pixels and diodes found beneath the surface of the gadget. Microsoft also decided to remove the capacitive Windows button, as the current Windows 10 already provides easy access to the Start menu.
The Surface Pro 4 also comes with an upgrade for the Surface Pen and the Type Cover. That is, the Surface Pen was redesigned to feel more natural, like a typical pencil. The Pen has one flat side, which should make it feel like a Number 2 pencil with all its angles rounded off except two. It also comes with 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity.
