This apparently marks the first Surface hybrid launch in India, the press invite for which reads, “Start fresh on a brand new Surface.”
Back in November, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced at Future Unleashed event in Mumbai that the Surface Pro 4 will be launched in India, as did the chairman of Microsoft India Bhaskar Pramanik, who also confirmed last week that the device will be launched in the country “first week” of the month. And now, the stage is set for Surface Pro 4 launch in India.
The successor to the highly applauded Surface Pro 3, the hybrid was launched in the US back in October at Microsoft’s Windows 10 devices event in New York. During the event, Microsoft touted that the Surface Pro 4 is apparently 50% faster than a Macbook Air, or 30% faster than its predecessor. The new Surface Pro 4 gets a slightly larger 12.3-inch screen as opposed to the 12-inch screen of its predecessor. Microsoft has also managed to reduce its overall weight to 1.63 pounds despite the increased screen size.
Another major change with the new Surface Pro 4 is that the hybrid now comes with the beefier Intel’s 6th gen Core M and Core i processors, making it all the more powerful. The latest Skylake processors from Intel are capable of running faster without causing overheating issues. It can provide an impressive video playback of up to 9 hours.
