The rumored "Surface Pro 5" will be a key device that can help Microsoft sustain the recent sales success it experienced, particularly during the holiday season last year. There's also a possibility that the latest 2-in-1 hybrid tablet of Microsoft could come with the Windows 10 Cloud.

According to a report from Tech News Gazette, the "Surface Pro 4" has helped Microsoft achieve one of its best holiday seasons last year. The current hybrid tablet is considered as one of the best 2-in-1 in the market today.

The report said that market analysts believe that the "Surface Pro 5" will help Microsoft continue the sales momentum it built up when it finally launches this year. Rumors are already coming out that the new hybrid tablet will be better than its predecessors and will feature high-end specs.

One of the most well-known rumor is the "Surface Pro 5" being powered by the Intel Kaby Lake, which will make the device consume power efficiently and improve its battery life. Lousy battery life has been one of the main complaints of people who own a "Surface Pro 4."

But one other possibility about the "Surface Pro 5" is that it could be powered by the Windows 10 Cloud OS, according to TopExaminer. The Windows 10 Cloud is said to be unveiled during Microsoft's event on May 2.

The report said that Microsoft is looking to tap into the education market, and a device that's powered by the Windows 10 Cloud OS is their ticket in doing it. The OS is said to be equipped with features that will make the device versatile for students and teachers alike.

The "Surface Pro 5" is likely a candidate device to use this new OS. Microsoft could also possibly lower the 2-in-1 hybrid's price to be able to target students.

Whether all of this information is true or not remains to be seen though, as Microsoft continues to be quiet about the "Surface Pro 5." Hopefully, things will be much clearer in the coming weeks, especially with an event that's going to happen on May 2. Check out the video below for more on Microsoft's latest 2-in-1 hybrid device.
