Microsoft Surface Pro 5 with 4K screen to arrive before the end of March

Back in June a rumor told us that Microsoft was only aiming to launch the Surface Pro 5 2-in-1 device in spring of 2017. This apparently has to do with the company waiting for Intel's Kaby Lake processors to become available, since they will draw less power hence aiding battery life.

Months have passed and today we get a new rumor on the matter, which goes into a little bit more detail. The Surface Pro 5 is now said to be launching in the first quarter of next year, so before the end of March. Additionally, the device will reportedly have a 4K UHD touchscreen and magnetic charging stylus.
Pegatron Technology will manufacture the new Surface for Microsoft, and it should have a starting price of $899 - though for that amount of cash you might not be getting the 4K screen, which could be relegated to only the top of the line model costing $1,599.
