According to a report, The US Patent & Trademark Office have just published Microsoft's patent application form that gave some hints about the company's plan to implement the feature.

Microsoft Surface Pro 4's previous issues regarding its battery life is also addressed in the upcoming device. A better battery for the Surface Pro 5 will put the device back on track. Experts say that it would be best if Microsoft can provide a longer battery life to the Surface Pro 5, considering that Pro 4's battery life longevity is considerably comparable to the HP Spectre x360 in the PCMark 8 Home test, a must have when it comes to a quality mobile performance.
