Microsoft Surface Pro 4 India Launch in the First Week of January
Microsoft Surface Pro 4 India Launch in the First Week of January
Microsoft will launch the Surface Pro 4 in India in the "first week of January", Bhaskar Pramanik, Chairman,Microsoft India, told Gadgets 360 on Thursday. This is in line with the January timeline that CEO Satya Nadella had announced during his trip to India earlier this year.

While Pramanik didn't confirm the exact date of the launch, Gadgets 360 understand the launch event is likely to be held in New Delhi on January 7.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 features a 12.3-inch (2736x1824 pixel) PixelTouch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, but the size of the tablet is not larger than the 12-inch Surface Pro 3 as the company has reduced the bezel width. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 - which as the company noted at the event is only 0.4mm thick. There is a new stylus too. The company called its new stylus, the Surface Pen and it comes with an eraser. The new Surface Pen can detect 1,024 points of pressure. You click the tip of the pen and the Surface Pro 4 opens Microsoft OneNote. The Pen also comes with Cortana integration.

The Surface Pro 4 comes with a choice of Intel's 6th-generation Core processors, from Core M3 for the base model, to Core i5 and Core i7 options. These configurations are powered by Intel HD Graphics 515, Intel HD Graphics 520, and Intel Iris Graphics respectively.

The company at the global launch event had claimed that the Surface Pro 4 was 30 percent faster than the Surface Pro 3, and was 50 percent faster than Apple's MacBook Air. It comes with up to 16GB of RAM (4GB base model), and up to a whopping 1TB of SSD storage (starts at 128GB). It features four USB 3.0 ports, an Ethernet port, and a fingerprint scanner.

It also comes with two 4K Mini DisplayPorts. Microsoft said the Surface Pro 4 will offer up to 9 hours of battery life. It bears an 8-megapixel rear camera, and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.
