Microsoft Surface 2019 event: as it befell

As Tom Warren quoted first, they had these Surface devices for everyone to create more anywhere in the world. Later, he also said that Microsoft has reimagined pretty much every part of the tech stack. They have transformed the way of how people interact with their devices. Also, they have remodeled the role of operating systems. There is a new app model to light up these new form factors. The company is also getting a video about instruments that will be called “the music of technology.” They want to create an opportunity for everyone to feel capable, confident and more in control.

Here are the details of the devices that Microsoft has unveiled in the event:

 
Microsoft Surface Neo: The future of Windows 10X is Dual Screen

The company is building a new version of Windows 10. The new version is intended solely for dual-screen and foldable devices. Windows 10X is also known by codename Santorini. Microsoft wishes to redesign Windows 10 for devices that are not yet built. These devices will be somewhat like flexible tablets that morph into being competent of laptop-like tasks. These devices will be like the newly introduced Surface Neo.

The Surface Neo is Microsoft’s idea where Windows 10X will brighten.

The device looks like a big, metal Moleskine journal when it’s closed. But it has two separate 9-inch displays that fold out to a full 13-inch workspace. The Surface Neo seems like Microsoft’s innovative Courier concept from 10 years ago is coming to life.

Surface Neo can switch into a variety of modes and has the standard high build quality of Microsoft’s hardware. There’s also a smart Bluetooth keyboard that flips, slides, and locks into place with magnets. The Bluetooth can be fastened to the rear of the device. They have also introduced a new Surface Slim Pen that connects magnetically, and it’s the same stylus Microsoft is using on the new Surface Pro X.

As quoted by Joe Belfiore, head of Windows experiences, Microsoft thinks that these new dual-screen devices can help the customers bridge the gap between consumption and productivity. These devices go beyond a traditional laptop and tablet because they support some exciting new positions.

Here is how you will be able to use Windows 10X devices:

 
» Note-taking: This mode allows you to have one full-screen app on each display. You can keep one of them as a browser on the top showing some video content and the other screen can be a note-taking app that a student is using in class. You can take down the notes using a pen or some separate hardware keyboard.

» Mobile presentation: This puts content like a PowerPoint story on the outside of the device. You can easily read notes on the inside and manage it with a keyboard.

» Portable all-in-one: This sets the dual-screen device in a book mode. The device in this mode can stand on a flat surface and you can use a detachable keyboard to work with it. It is just like using a dual-monitor setup at home.

» Reading: This mode includes using the device like a book with one or two hands. It also has the capability to use a stylus for light note-taking.

» Laptop: In this mode, one is allowed to use a software or hardware keyboard on one display and have typical content on the primary display up top.

Microsoft Surface Pro X and Surface Pro 7: Qualcomm over Intel

 
Microsoft has planned to launch two Surface Pro devices this year.

There is an advanced version to the regular Surface Pro line, the Surface Pro 7. And the second one is the new Surface Pro X.

The Surface Pro X looks a lot like the Surface Pro 7 from a distance, but there are some complex design changes. It has a bigger 13-inch display inside a 12-inch frame that’s thinner and lighter than the Surface Pro. The Surface Pro X model also has a new ARM-based Surface SQ1 processor. This is a chip that has been co-engineered amid Microsoft and Qualcomm.

There are two big hardware changes on the Surface Pro X model. The company has restructured the Type Cover so that a new Surface Slim Pen can fit into the top of the keyboard. It charges when it’s docked. And when the pen is removed, Windows 10 automatically pops up a sensible menu that allows you to write immediately.

Microsoft is also proposing detachable SSD storage on the Surface Pro X. There’s a small plate at the back under the kickstand, that can be used as a SIM tool to reach. The SSD storage is M.2 so it’s just fastened with a screw, and the nano-SIM slot is also available here.

The company has promised up to 13 hours of battery life. It also supports fast charge so you can get back to 80 percent battery in under an hour. They have also provided a built-in LTE connectivity so that you can use this Surface Pro X anywhere as a mobile PC.

Along with Surface Pro X, they are also renewing the old Surface Pro line with the seventh version. The Surface Pro 7 incorporates Intel’s latest 10th Gen processors. The company has provided options to pick from a dual-core i3 version or quad-core i5 and i7 models. The first model starts with just 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, they go all the way up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The only real big change is that Microsoft is adding in this model is USB-C. It’s not a Thunderbolt 3 port, sadly, but you will be able to use it to connect USB-C accessories or to charge the device. Microsoft is also retaining the regular Surface Connect charging port here.

Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 3 appears in two sizes and with two separate processors

 
The announcement of the new Surface Laptop 3 is an update to the Surface Laptop 2 from last year. Surface Laptop 3 is quite similar to the previous models but it has two big changes. The laptop is now available in two distinct sizes.

The bigger model has an all-new processor co-developed with AMD. As for the smaller model, 13.5-inch Surface Laptop 3 starts at $999.The price of15-inch model starts $200 higher at $1,199. Both are open for preordering starting October 2nd.

The laptops are available in the same design and shape, with the same 13.5-inch, 3:2 aspect ratio Pixel Sense touchscreen. However, the touchpad has been made 20% larger.

A USB-C port has been incorporated in place of the Mini DisplayPort that was found on prior Surface Laptops as a part of big external change. The Laptop 3 is available with a single USB-A port, 3.5mm headphone jack, and Surface Connector like it was available previously. Laptop 3 can be purchased in four colors: black, silver, gold, and blue.

Inside the 13-inch model, they have placed Intel’s latest 10th Gen Core processors – either Core i5 or Core i7. Another new feature is enhanced repairability, which has been a subject of anxiety for the Surface Laptop line since its introduction.

The 15-inch model is the actual piece of attraction. It has a 15-inch screen and weighs 3.4 pounds and it now has a brand-new processor for Microsoft’s Surface computers. With an additional focus on the graphics processor over the standard Ryzen chips, the new chip is an AMD-based Surface Edition of the Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7. It can be matched with up to 32GB of RAM. Curiously, the storage options top out at 512GB.

The company is promising up to 11.5 hours of battery life for both models. They have also introduced a new fast charging feature that can get the battery from 0 to 80 percent in less than one hour.

Microsoft’s big surprise at the event -new foldable Surface Duo phone running on Android releasing in holiday 2020

They had one last surprise in store for us at the Surface event: a foldable Surface Duo phone that runs Android. The design of the device is similar to Microsoft’s just-announced dual-screen Surface Neo laptop. But this device is on a smaller side which can be stored in your pockets. The Surface Duo emphasizes two 5.6-inch displays that are allowed to rotate 360 degrees. So, the Surface Duo is enabled to be fully unfolded like a miniature 8.3-inch tablet. Microsoft surface Duo specs source.

Neo utilizes dual screens on Windows whereas Duo works with dual screens on Android. This is the absolute best from Microsoft and it looks like they are into productivity phone. They are also partnering with Google for the best of Android.

While ending the event, Satya Nadella came up to wrap up the event and as an ending statement, he said that they wish to span experiences across devices and with all these devices they say they do really have a Surface for everyone.

So, try to get your hands on as many of those brand-new devices and if you wish to have the latest technologies for your business apps, we are here to help you out with anything you want. Thanks for reading!

It is remarkable that Microsoft announces this event as your primary guide to disruptive technology. They are also going to throw light on the fact about how it will impact people and businesses, today and tomorrow.

So, are you inquisitive about what Microsoft has in store for its diverse product lines? Then you should check out the annual Surface Event this year. We are anticipating quite a few announcements about the latest products Microsoft plans to offer.

The event will highlight presentations from several Microsoft executives. The discussions will be held about features and future technology and applications such as Quantum Computing and HoloLens.

Microsoft has been developing a new dual-screen device which is codenamed as Centaurus. They have been working on it for more than two years. The device is designed to be the master device for a surge of new dual-screen tablet/laptop combinations that will be developed throughout 2020.

Microsoft has demonstrated Centaurus during an internal meeting previously this year, indicating that work on the prototype has advanced to the point where it’s nearing release. But it is not certain that Microsoft will bring out this new hardware in October or even launch it.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has notedly shot off the Surface Mini just before its scheduled unveiling. The idea is not yet planned by Microsoft to show this dual-screen Surface device and so the devices won’t be ready to ship soon. However, with Microsoft’s plans, The Verge describes that the company is now targeting a 2020 release date for its dual-screen Surface.

The surface is Microsoft’s touchscreen personal computer, which is something in between a laptop and a tablet. It is actually something between a tablet and a laptop. The concept images imply that Microsoft is going to unveil a new Surface Pro complete with next-gen Intel CPUs, as well as an ARM CPU-powered “skinny” version.

Beside Centaurus, Microsoft will likely stimulate other Surface devices. The Surface Book is running late for an update. Microsoft’s Surface Laptop and Surface Pro hardware can now see the additions of USB-C ports this year. The Surface Go tablet is more than a year now and can opt for some change.

Microsoft is all ready to deliver the goods in the hardware season. In the past few years, there were a lot of new devices shown in the Big Apple this week.

Last year, Microsoft launched a new version of the Surface Pro. it had Laptop and Studio and added over-ear headphones to the lineup. This time out, we’ve already seen several slips that point to additional refreshes and a couple of big “surprises” in as much as the products in news can truly be a wonder.

What to expect from Microsoft Surface event- 2019?

There will be additions in the Surface Pro and Laptop both. Surface Pro 7 is getting an introduction to a new upgrade. They are possibly the most underwhelming of the event. They are also including a new Intel processor and a USB-C port. The company is making a great effort to bring the device somehow this year with new enthusiasm. The Surface Laptop 3, is going to have two choices in its design: a 13-inch and 15-inch inch model, along with, potentially, a new AMD processor.

Also with the Surface Pro and Laptop are both said to be getting refreshed this year, Microsoft is embracing the ARM for Windows 10 platform with its Surface line. There are expectations that they are planning to launch an ARM-powered two-in-one at the event. Among the advantages are a more modest footprint and far improved battery life — both marked benefits for any portable.

However, the biggest reveal of the show is the long-awaited addition of a dual-screen Surface. It has been a long time since Microsoft abandoned Courier. They are supposed to declare a new form factor for the line. There has been a rumor which includes a bespoke version of Windows 10 also named Windows 10 X. It points to the potential launch for the device later this year.

Lastly, we’re anticipating to see research on Project Centaurus. It is the much-awaited dual-screen, 2-in-1 device. Centaurus is assumed to be having a unique design. It could be either a foldable, tablet-sized device or a clamshell device with two screens and no physical keyboard.

Besides that, they are saying that the Centaurus will also run on a separate operating system known as Windows Core OS. It might not be possible to provide an actual walkthrough of Centaurus during the October Surface event, but people are expecting it to at least make an appearance.
