Surface Pro 6: these rumors point to what could be its features to take over from the current Surface

"

A few days ago we saw what could be the release schedule with new _hardware_ for the coming months from Microsoft. New devices among which there would be space for laptops, convertibles, some new HoloLens 2 and even a new Xbox family that is already drawn on the distant horizon with the name on password Scarlett."

Of all of them we are going to keep the rumors that tell us about a alleged Surface Pro 6, which for now has a code name, Carmel.It would be a model that would come to occupy the position now held by the current devices (Surface Pro and Surface Pro 4) and now we know what its specifications could be. Always assuming these specifications, because for now and in the absence of official confirmations, you always have to tread carefully.

More power, more screen

This possible Surface Pro 6 would have inside a processor belonging to the next generation of Intel SoC, called Cannon Lake (we have already seen evidence of a 10nm Cannonlake Core i3-8121U). It would be processors with a 10nm architecture, which would serve as an indication for what could be the launch date of the Surface Pro 6. If so, not the we would see until the beginning of 2019.

Together with the aforementioned family of processors, there is talk of a starting point of 8 GB in terms of RAM memory for the latest model basic with storage capacities that would start with a 256 GB SSD until reaching a model with 1 TB capacity.Some point to a basic version that would offer a 128 GB SSD along with a traditional HDD, a fact that does not quite fit, at least with a device as light and slim as this one.

Microsoft, it's time to bet on USB Type-C

As for the screen, rumors speak of 13, 5 or 14 inches, so it would grow slightly compared to the current model, which Let's remember it stays at 12.3 inches. It would offer a resolution of 2736 x 1824 pixels and would, as expected, support for working with the Surface Pen and different levels of pressure on the screen.

Security would be supported by the inclusion of a fingerprint reader while in connectivity we would see how the USB Type-C port would offer support for Thunderbolt 3and the ability to easily connect peripherals.It would no longer make sense to continue leaving this type of port aside, especially in 2019.

All these figures, if they finally come true, would make the Surface Pro 6 raise its price compared to what current ones offer Surface on the market (starts at 799 euros). There is talk of a starting price of 999 dollars, a higher cost that would serve as a pretext for the launch of an affordable, low-cost Surface, which would also arrive to the market and for now its code name would be known: Libra.
