**Microsoft Event Preview: What to Expect**

The Microsoft event is just around the corner, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what the tech giant has in store for them. In this article, we'll take a closer look at some of the rumored devices that might be unveiled during the event.

**Surface Go 3: A Budget-Friendly Option?**

One device that's been making headlines is the Surface Go 3. This budget-friendly version of the Surface is expected to start at just under $400, making it an attractive option for those looking for a reliable and affordable tablet. According to reports, the display will remain at 10.5 inches, but there won't be any new Intel chips or a switch to ARM architecture. This might be disappointing for some users who were hoping for a sleek and powerful budget tablet from Microsoft.

However, it's worth noting that the Surface Go 3 is expected to look pretty much the same as its predecessor, the Surface Go 2. So, if you're familiar with the design and features of the current model, you'll likely have a good idea what to expect from the new device.

**Surface Pro X: A Sleek and Powerful Option?**

The Surface Pro X is another device that's been generating buzz ahead of the event. This arm-based tablet is known for its sleek design and powerful specs, but there haven't been any major updates since its last revision in October 2020. Microsoft could show off a new version of the Pro X at the event, which would be exciting news for fans.

Some rumors suggest that the next-gen Surface Pro X might feature a Qualcomm reference design for a Snapdragon system-on-a-chip (SoC) on Geekbench. This could indicate an improvement over the previous generation of SoCs, but it wouldn't offer half the performance of Apple's M1 chip.

**Surface Book: A Traditional Laptop or Tablet?**

The Surface Book is a unique device that can be used as both a traditional laptop and a tablet. There's been excitement around a patent Microsoft filed showing off a new hinging system that could allow users to switch between modes seamlessly. However, it's not clear whether this design will make it into production.

The patent shows an image of the device with the screen on top, allowing for a unique art table experience. It's also unclear if the entire device can lay flat like a tablet. Microsoft has a history of trying new things, so it wouldn't be surprising to see this design make its way onto a future Surface Book model.

**Surface Neo: The Dual-Screen Windows Laptop**

One device that's been long-awaited is the Surface Neo, a dual-screen Windows laptop that was first shown off in 2019. This device was designed for a world where the line between home and work life blurs more and more. Microsoft canceled its original plan to release Windows 10X with the Neo, instead integrating some of its technology into other parts of the Windows ecosystem.

Rumors suggest that the Neo might run on Windows 11, which would be an exciting development for fans of the device. However, it's unclear whether this is true, and Microsoft hasn't made any official announcements about the device's status.

**Surface Earbuds: A New Set?**

Finally, there's been some speculation around a new set of Surface earbuds that might be unveiled during the event. Microsoft announced these earbuds in May 2020, featuring a circular design and touch controls. It's unclear whether we'll see a new set of these earbuds, but it would certainly be exciting to have them back on the market.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enmicrosoft's got an event coming up on the 22nd what can we expect let's talk let's take a look at microsoft's announcement for the event it looks like a slim surface tablet the kickstand suggests either the go the pro or the pro x let's compare the profile of the latest versions of the go the pro the pro x and the invite picture the invite looks like it's showing the pro x however it could also be showing a newer thinner version of the go or pro or a totally new device the tagline is join us to see what's next that doesn't give us a ton of information does it so let's turn to the leaks there could be a new microsoft surface duo that is the android device with two screens that seemed really cool when it was introduced in late 2019 it had two 5.6 inch oled displays you could use one screen at a time by flipping one display all the way back or you could have multiple apps up on both screens or even use the device as a tablet with one app running the length of both screens the duo was not the first foldable android device the samsung galaxy fold was released a month before microsoft announced the duo however the duo was something else it looked like a futuristic device it finally arrived in september 2020. then we got to try it out yeah not so great this thing was buggy and the software experience was not great the camera was not great it didn't have 5g which was not great with its 1400 price tag the duo had to be great to justify the money by the time the surface duo came to market samsung had already announced a sleeker more refined fold too so that was some major competition fast forward to today and we're at the fold three which is looking pretty good so what about a new duo images of what could be a new version of the surface duo popped up online earlier this year first appearing on a youtube channel called techrat the reliable windows central said the pictures were the real deal the new duo looked very similar to the original with a huge camera bump on the back that bump would house three cameras and has a flash to the right this new duo seems to have the same style of hinge as the original surface duo so if you completely fold back the dual screens you would be hitting that camera bump that seems really odd maybe this was just a prototype well maybe not windows central said that these pictures showed a near final prototype the original duo didn't feature any kind of rear camera however pictures did float around showing a prototype duo with a camera bump on one side the other side had a divot so you could fold the duo completely back without bumping the camera the pictures of the duo 2 do not show any kind of divot the dedicated fingerprint sensor seems to be gone too it may be integrated into the power button like other phones will we see a new duo well with the leaks it would seem so if microsoft's putting out a duo sequel it better have squashed all the bugs and provide a really smooth experience or this thing may be dead in the water then there's the surface go 3 win future another reliable publication said we will see a new surface go at the event the surface go is the budget friendly version of the surface starting at just under four hundred dollars wind future says the go 3 will look pretty much the same as the go 2 so picture the two and you'll have a good idea about the three the display would stay at 10.5 inches but there would be new intel chips inside there would not be any switch to arm for the go so if you were hoping for a super sleek budget tablet from microsoft you may not get it just yet well what about a new surface pro well microsoft released the surface pro 7 in october of 2019 then a pro 7 plus in january 2021 the plus added an lte option new intel chips up to double the ram of the seven and up to a terabyte of storage it would be a little odd for microsoft to put out two versions of the surface pro in one year however the past couple of years have been odd to say the least microsoft could show off a new pro that arrives early next year but that would hurt sales in the holiday season let's talk about the surface pro x that's the thin sleek arm-based surface its last revision was october of 2020 with the previous version arriving in 2019 so if we're looking at an annual refresh cycle we could see a new pro x at microsoft's event notebookcheck.net noticed a qualcomm reference design for a snapdragon system on a chip or soc on geekbench long story short this could give us an insight as to the next soc that would power a new surface pro x the geek bench scores would indicate that this version of the soc would offer an improvement over the previous generation of course however it would offer a little more than half the performance of apple's m1 chip then there's the microsoft surface book that's the one that can be used as a traditional laptop or you can just attach the screen to use as a tablet there has been a lot of excitement about a patent microsoft filed showing off a new hinging system the patent was found by windowsunited.de the hinge would let you use the device like a regular laptop or angle the screen down kind of like an art table or the surface studio it's not clear with the images if the whole device can lay flat with the screen on top so you can use it in a tablet mode whether or not we'll see this design from a microsoft product at the september event remains to be seen it certainly is a wild design and if microsoft's past has shown us anything the company is not afraid to try something different so those were the likely reveals for the microsoft event now it's wild speculation time where's that dang surface neo that's the dual screen windows laptop that was shown off in 2019 here's what that was like show the clip in a world that's more mobile more cloud-based where the line blurs more between home life work we wanted to make you a product that felt smaller a product that fit your lifestyle this this is surface neo when panos panet introduced the device he mentioned that one of the reasons for the neo was the line was blurring between home and work he said that two years ago that line is almost removed for some of us at this point maybe this is the time the neo shows up it was supposed to run a special version of windows called 10x well 10x got scrapped here's what microsoft said at the time instead of bringing a product called windows 10x to market in 2021 like we originally intended we are leveraging learnings from our journey thus far and accelerating the integration of key foundational 10x technology into other parts of windows and products at the company that's a super nice way of saying we're killing windows 10x and we're harvesting parts for use in windows and other stuff with windows 11 around the corner the timing seems about right maybe the neo runs windows 11 which would have windows 10x parts inside i don't know how likely this is but i really want to see the neo i want it to be real how about new surface earbuds you forgot those existed didn't you they were announced in may 2020. they featured a design that's quite circular they also had touch controls maybe microsoft has a new set of those in store we will have live coverage of microsoft's event on september 22nd so hit subscribe and the notification bell there's also all
