the Surface 3 old stock havent clear wanna release Surface 5? lol
A lot of sources suggest that Surface Pro 5 will be released in 2017, plus I am not too keen with the
- 4K Screen (you end up doing a >200% screen scaling anyway and it looks a bit ugly),
- Rechargeable pen (do the current pen goes dead every week?)
- Longer lasting battery (expect the device to be thicker / heavier, plus that is everyone's dream which is to have a laptop that last forever)
So I don't feel so bad that i just got a Surface Pro recently

Same here, don think there will be great difference making SP4 users envy.
All the above are just very very minor improvements which wont make much difference.
Unless its a new CPU chipset.
IMO why would anyone want a 4k Res on a 12" screen, kinda pointless, it just drain unnecessary battery and processing power.
I suspect it'll be a new chipset since it makes sense to refresh PCs in line with new processors/GPUs...
As for 4K on a 12" screen - I agree. Given the current setup is already high enough on the PPI scale to the point that it just causes unnecessary drain, this would best be for a "Pro" model or something where users would actually need that super high resolution screen... Besides, the few games/apps which could utilise such a resolution already struggle to run at even the current SP4's resolution (resulting in me playing most games at a much lower resolution to get decent FPS).
I can't even find a game I wanna play on SP4. Screen too small for proper gaming and at that angle, either my neck give way or my wrist crack.
Anyone installed latest sp4 update?
Is it me or does it seem speedier and run cooler after the update

Oh, i also didnt know there's any update recently.
Anyone know what is the process like for servicing/repairing the surface pro 4? Are there any service centers in Singapore?
My pro 4 just BSOD on me and I'm unable to even boot into windows. It's just 3 months old and it's making me regret my purchase.
Furthermore, I went to challenger and they said that it will cost me $70 to repair the problem, which I find it ******** since I bought it from them in the first place.

I didn't know Challenger can repair SP4. Likely they will try to reinstall your Win10 and charge you for the waiting time.
Local sets are covered by Microsoft warranty and you can call the service centre for advice - either courier the set down, or visit the service centre AFTER calling them for appointment. You will need to register your set online though.
If it is software problem, you may want to try a full recovery before sorting out with MS service centre. Download the recovery file into a USB drive and follow the instructions provided in the MS website. Pretty easy but it just takes quite a while of downloading the file as well as reinstalling the Windows.
After doing this recovery for the first time, it gets really easy and you will probably do this a couple of times more during your ownership of your SP4. At least, you will not need to call Challenger or MS support unless it is hardware problem.
Good luck.
Did the upgrade and as usual just flip the casing and put into my bag last night, today morning my bag felt warm and the SP4 was totally discharged.
Did they bring back the same issue again?
