Rumors about Microsoft's highly anticipated Surface Book 2 have been making rounds for quite some time now. New reports suggest the software giant will not release Surface Book 2 until 2017.
If reports are to be believed, the tech giant is waiting for the Redstone 2 update on the Windows 10 that is expected to get released sometime early next year. Also, Microsoft is reportedly keen in using Intel's next generation Kaby Lake processor in Surface Book 2. However, the Kaby Lake processor has not been released until now and is only expected to arrive sometime later this year around December.
While, wait for Microsoft Surface Book 2 is getting longer, it is expected that the delay could give more time to the software giant to bring the best specifications and features on the new laptop. The previous Surface Book model suffered from a number of issues such as Sleep Death issue, overheating and unplanned shutdowns, so, enthusiasts are expecting that the upcoming Surface Book 2 will turn out as a perfect 2-in1 PC free from all sort of issues.
There are even reports which claim that Microsoft has already begun preparing ground for release of the second generation Surface Book as it has started offering discounts on previous models. Discounts and offers on laptops and smartphones hints that a new version is ready to roll out.
It is rumored that the next generation Surface Book will come with improved specs and upgrades. The laptop is rumored to come equipped with up to 1TB internal storage, which is bigger compared to its predecessor's 512GB storage capacity. The device is likely to feature to a 13.5-inch screen display backed with a new touchscreen technology called Pixel Sense. In addition, the upcoming Microsoft Surface Book 2 is rumored to run on Core i7 and sport an improved Surface Pen.
As far as pricing of Microsoft Surface Book 2 is concerned, the upcoming laptop is expected to follow the same price range as its predecessor.
We would advise our readers to take the information with a big grain of salt as nothing yet has been officially announced by Microsoft.
