Microsoft is expected to release multiple devices in the next few months from now. Previous reports said that the company is getting ready to roll out the highly anticipated Surface Pro 5, Surface Book 2 and the Microsoft Surface Phone. However, out of nowhere, a rumor emerged suggesting that the company will delay the launch of those devices and unveil a new all-in-one or AIO PC instead.

Although the American software giant has yet to confirm these reports, tech observers believe that the company will release the new PC in 2017 to compete with Apple's upcoming iMac. According to Digitimes, the competition might come as unintentional given the decline of PC in the market today. There are reports saying that the PC industry might take a huge plunge in the coming years because of all the hybrid devices that are starting to come out.

Extreme Tech also reported that AIO PCs have not really done anything significant in the market despite the effort of all makers to release quality devices with advanced features. However, there are fans who believe that Microsoft could be up for something better on its rumored AIO.

According to a report by PC WORLD, although details about the new Microsoft's AIO device has not come out as of the moment, fans and critics have already shared their predictions on what the new PC has to offer.

According to the publication, the device may arrive with Intel's current 14-nanometer Kaby Lake processor. There are speculations saying that the AIO will carry impressive specs and features that are considered as the best in the market today.

Meanwhile, reports about its release are quite confusing as some would say 2017, while others suggest that Microsoft will roll it out this year.

What fans can do for now is to wait for the company to issue an official statement with regard to the rumored Microsoft All-in-One Surface PC
