Microsoft is slated to unveil its latest version of the Surface Pro line next Monday during an event in Shanghai — but counter to (some) expectations, the reveal won't be an upgraded Pro 5 model of the hybrid PC.。

The company will instead debut the Surface Pro, period. (That's right, no number.) It appears to be more of a refresh to the line than a true successor, echoing leaked reports from those who've seen time with the device, who called it the "Surface 4.5."

Blass showed off the images of the new PC without providing much detail in terms of specs, calling the Surface Pro a "tock" release, similar to Apple's incremental "S" updates to its iPhone line.。

There is one clear takeaway from the leaked images, however: There won't be a move to USB-C, which my colleague Ray Wong hoped for when the news of the incremental update leaked. Instead, the Pro looks like it retains the same ports as the Pro 4, which has been on the market since 2015.。
