Microsoft today announced that it will hold a Surface-focused event on October 2nd in New York City. This event comes in the midst of Apple’s fall event season, with the company expected to introduce new iPhones, iPads, and a 16-inch MacBook Pro.
As detailed by The Verge, Microsoft is developing a new dual-screen Surface device. This is designed to be a dual-screen tablet and laptop hybrid. While it’s a possibility we’ll see it at the October event, it’s not necessarily certain – but The Verge says Microsoft is targeting a release in 2020.
Elsewhere, it’s likely that Microsoft will refresh its other Surface devices – with one possibility being that the Surface Pro will finally add USB-C connectivity.
Microsoft’s event will be held less than a month after Apple’s September event, which is currently rumored for September 10th. Google is also expected to hold a “Made by Google” event in October for its latest hardware in October. It’s also possible that Apple could hold an event in October with a focus on the iPad and the oft-rumored 16-inch MacBook Pro.
