The company will not change the proprietary Surface power connector in the hybrid tablet.
The tweet even revealed that there is nothing dramatic in it, this means that the device will be simply refreshed and redesign with upgraded components. Although retaining the Surface power connector doesn't necessarily mean that Microsoft will not opt to switch its Display Port on the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 to a USB-C port. As reported by The Verge, Microsoft previously committed to ensuring that the Surface Pro 3 power adapters, Type covers, and docking stations would be compatible with the Surface Pro 4.
