Actually, I heard a rumor that the SP5 will be coming early '16 on the tail of the Intel crystalstream processor release.
I would love to be the yes camp but it's too much of a hassle to mess around with selling my SP3.
No doubt about it if it has Skylake. I'll get the 14" if they make one.
At the moment we can't scale from different size screens without problems, and you want to rescale the same screen seamlessly. currently I find myself toggling back and forth between desktop and tablet for tablet use cases because neither fits. They have a lot of unfinished work yet even for one fixed screen.This is a REALLY tough call (especially for a serial computer buyer such as myself). IF the SPro 4 is a real CPU and GPU upgrade (come on Microsoft, spring for Iris for crying out loud), and included a second USB (Type C) port, I'd be sorely tempted. Throw in 14" in a slightly larger, bezel-less frame, and I'd be there in a heartbeat. My gut tells me we're more in for a spec bump than geometric progression, but we'll see soon enough.
On that 14" size, WHY can't they make it completely bezel-less for desktop mode, and switch to software enforced bezels in tablet mode?
A bezel-less screen would create difficulty with webcam placement. I can't see doing that to a tablet. That is the biggest XPS 13 drawback. I don't want people to Skype with my chin.
I honestly don't get the fervor for a larger screen. If I wanted a 14-inch screen, I'd turn to a thin and light laptop with a better keyboard over a detachable. Anything that size will be unwieldy in tablet mode.
I doubt I'll upgrade. The current Surface fulfills my needs and use cases too well.
