As expected, the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is all set to arrive in India on January 7, with the tech giant issuing a media invite for its launch at an event in New Delhi. The popular tablet series has never made an appearance in the country before, making this version the first one to be sold here.
To recollect, the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 was unveiled internationally back in October 2015. The brand’s CEO Satya Nadella had later promised to bring the gadget to India by January, without giving away any specific details. The company’s India Chairman Bhaskar Pramanik had recently confirmed that the offering would land in the nation within the first week of the month.
Now that the launch date is out, the main question which remains is the price tag Microsoft will attach to the premium tablet. The basic model costs $899 (approx Rs 59500) in the US and comes with an Intel Core m3 processor, 128GB of SSD storage and 4GB of RAM. Most of the other specs remain the same across all the variants of the device.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is apparently 50% faster than the Apple MacBook Pro and 30% quicker than its predecessor. The company is pitching it as a replacement for a laptop, bundling the tablet with an improved Surface Pen and selling a Type Cover keyboard for it separately.
