Surface Pro 4 is expected to be released in two variants. The 12-inch model is deemed the mass-geared type which will be powered by a new Intel processing chip for a fan-less experience. Despite its expected cheap cost, Surface Pro 4 will have a 2K screen resolution at 2160 x 1440 pixels. The 14-inch model is powered by an Intel i5 and i7 processor, a high-end version for a more powerful device.
A styles pen will also be a distinctive part of the device. According to a report, Microsoft is shoving a digital stylus to help function ease of use and productivity.

I take that to mean a *stylus* pen. Although it might also come in various styles.

Meanwhile, earlier killer specs have also been leaked, including the memory space of the device which will be double from 8 GB to 16 GB and a maximum of 1 TB internal storage. Fifth-generation Intel core processor known as Broadwell will ditch its predecessor Haswell to increase overall system performance.
In another report, the device might also give owners two keyboard options, the Type Cover keyboard and keyboard with sturdies hinges.
According to expert analysis, Surface Pro 4 will cost $1,200 to $2,000.

So, basically, they think the Surface line will run 4 models for at least a while.
Surface 3, 3 Pro, 4 Pro 12, and 4 Pro.
Hopefully it'll nudge the S3 down a bit.
Should be interesting, come july.
