There have been quite a few unverified reports that Microsoft is planning to release its Surface Pro 4 along with or soon after the public release of Windows 10, and now new price cuts on few Surface Pro 3 models further strengthen the belief that a new slate from Microsoft might be on its way.
The latest price cut could be seen as a bait for customers luring them to buy the Surface Pro 3 or a move to ensure that Microsoft and its retail partners don’t end up with huge Surface Pro 3 stocks when the company releases Surface Pro 4.
Microsoft hasn’t included the Surface Pro 3 model with Intel Core i3 processor in the price cut, but if you looking to buy either an i5 or an i7 model, you are in for some good news.
