With the recent success of the Microsoft Surface Pro 3, rumors start to arise that the computer giant is gearing up for the launch of Surface Pro 4, the Latinos Post reported.
Microsoft was faced with a multitude of problems after it launched the first Surface tablet when consumers weren't as accepting of the gadget. But the Redmond-based company refused to go down without a fight, as it improved the new versions of the tablet. And while the Surface Pro's third installment is doing good in the market, a fourth installment of the gadget is reportedly in the works, according to Master Herald.
Some of the rumors surrounding the Microsoft Surface Pro tablet 4, includes the term "laplet," which implies that it could be a combination of a laptop and a tablet.
The idea comes from the fact that the majority of Surface Pro 3 users connect their gadgets with a keyboard, according to Christian Today.
Microsoft also announced that the new and upcoming Surface Pro series will have the same power cables and Type covers as its predecessor and will also contain the docking spaces that can already be seen in Surface Pro 3.
"We are pleased to share that the following Surface Pro 3 accessories are designed with our product roadmap to be compatible with the next generation of the Pro line Surface," Surface lineup general manager Brian Hall wrote on Microsoft Surface Blog.
Additionally, online sources reveal that the Surface Pro 4 will be released in varying sizes, with the smaller version to be called Surface Pro Mini, which measures about 8 inches, in an attempt to compete with other tablets offered by Apple and Google.
The larger version of the Surface Pro 4 is rumored to be 13 to 14 inches in size, and will try to break the weak-sales trend of large tablets.
Meanwhile, the Gospel Herald said that a source revealed that the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 be launched in 2015 or if not, it will be announced after the launch of Windows 10, so that Surface Pro 4 could be the first ever gadget to run on Windows 10.

During the introduction of Windows 10, Microsoft is also expected to discuss that it will be the single platform to be used in Windows based PC's, phones, tablets and Xbox One.
