While the Surface Pro and Book seem to work him nicely to Microsoft, Redmond’s have always had problems with the tablets of a lighter nature. Today we have known that the Surface 3 will no longer be at the end of the year without being at all clear what will become of this product line. Its continuity is quite possible, but it will take still weather to see a successor.
Problems, we sense, also have to do with the fact that Intel has withdrawn from the segment to devote efforts to the PC-oriented processors. In fact, the Surface 3 riding one of the chips that the manufacturer has left, the Intel ATOM X 7-Z7800 (same as the Acer Predator 8), leaving the unfinished project and forcing Microsoft to choose from other manufacturers. NVIDIA Qualcomm would be more logical.

A 4 Surface early in 2017?
Although there is a nearby launch plans, sources close to the Redmond company have set date for the Surface 4. It would go along with the second update of Windows 10 Redstone. We must comment, however, that this event depends much when presented the genuine Microsoft catalog stars: Surface Pro 5 and Book 2.
Over the past weeks we have lived a dance dates somewhat difficult to follow. The most recent information, however, targeting September although similarly we should expect to see new Intel El Lakeproduction deadlines; something that will play a key role in defining the rhythms.

3 surface and difficulties with light tablets
Microsoft teams have a high profile product and perhaps for this reason often certain models more oriented to compete against Android or iPad recorded advance in commercial plane. Recall for a moment what happened with the RTline, created with the intention of exploring a version fully Windows tablet and squeeze it with ARM processors.
The issue is that at present we are witnessing an important boom in economic hybrid teams with Intel ATOM processors and even urgent to find a solution out of the segment by Intel, we do not imagine that this emerging power stand for the moment. Alternatively, you can use the Core m, although they are too top to maintain reasonable prices. It remains to be seen what happens.
