Our Microsoft Surface event predictions
We’re expecting to see the Surface Laptop Studio 2 since it’s been nearly two years since the originalSurface Laptop Studiowas released, and there have been tons of rumors supporting the reveal of its successor. According to said leaks, the laptop will feature a 13th-generationIntelCore i7-13800H processor with 64GB of DDR5 SDRAM.
The reveal of theSurface Pro 10is almost assured, thanks to the very strict yearly launch cycle of the Pro series. So far, one of the most interesting reports is that we could be getting an 11-inch version along with the standard 13-inch version, which would directly compete withApple’s iPad.
We’re also likely to receive a refresh of theSurface Go 42-in-1. Earlier in the year, Microsoft postponed anARM-based Surface Go, though it’s expected we’ll get an Intel version, and the chip is expected to be an N200 so the 2-in-1 remains inexpensive to the business and education markets it targets.
For a more traditional laptop, theSurface Laptop Go 3will most likely make an appearance. It will most likely be a minor refresh with a RAM increase from 4GB to 8GB, the 128GB SSD to double in size, and an Intel 12th-Gen Intel Core i5, all to prevent a major price hike.
There’s a chance we’ll see some Surface accessories like 2022’s event, as well as some time devoted to new software and OS updates. AI has also been a large part of Microsoft’s investment, so we should receive some updates on the tech giant’s progress there.
