Microsoft
Home windows 11 is popping out on October 5, but it surely’s not the one factor Microsoft has in retailer for this fall. The corporate will livestream an event at 11 am Eastern on September 22 the place it guarantees to “discuss units and Home windows 11.” Microsoft wasn’t particular about what sorts of units it plans to disclose, however the looping video on the occasion website reveals a Floor pill, so it is not laborious to guess. (Earlier than you get too excited, it appears to be like like a Surface Pro X, not a preview of some unannounced product.)
With out extra specifics on the sorts of {hardware} Microsoft intends to give attention to, all we are able to do is speculate. Present rumors counsel that the Floor Duo 2 Android telephone or the growing older Floor Ebook 3 are probably candidates for updates, however there are newer processors out there that will be appropriate for every part from the Surface Pro to the Surface Studio, so refreshes for just about every part could possibly be on the desk (the Intel model of the Floor Professional is means overdue for a {hardware} redesign, however we might at the least prefer to see the Eleventh-generation Intel Core CPUs from the Surface Pro 7+ come to a Floor Professional machine that common individuals can simply purchase).
The occasion shall be distant and livestreamed from Microsoft’s web site, because it was for its Home windows 11 occasion a few months in the past. This has turn into the norm for tech product bulletins within the pandemic period, together with Apple’s and Google’s, however the Home windows 11 livestream was lots much less dependable than Apple’s or Google’s sometimes are; hopefully Microsoft has smoothed out its technical wrinkles within the intervening months.
