Microsoft has an event tomorrow where it will take the wraps off a number of new hardware. Some of these devices have already leaked in the past such as the Surface Laptop which will come in a new 15” model, and the Surface Pro 7. However, those leaks didn’t include images.
Evan Blass, the popular leaker, has released a bunch of photos of some of the devices launching tomorrow as well as additional info about others.
Surface Pro 7 – USB-C is finally here
The leaked images include that of the Surface Pro 7. The Surface Pro series is Microsoft’s line of Windows tablet which can transform to become a 2-in-1 PC by adding a keyboard cover.
This year’s model will be getting a long-awaited feature – USB Type-C. As seen in the photos, there is now a USB Type-C port on the right side of the Surface Pro 7 alongside a full-sized USB port. There is also a card reader on the right.
Surface Laptop 3 13” and 15”
The Surface Laptop will return a third time and will bring along a sibling with a larger display. An earlier leak revealed that this 15” model will be powered by AMD’s Ryzen processor.
We can’t see a USB Type-C port on the right but we hope there is one on the left with support for Thunderbolt. The pictures show that there is no fingerprint scanner on any of the variants and the larger model also skips a dedicated number pad.
It does look like Microsoft has ditched its Alcantara fabric design for metal.
Surface Campus (Arm-Powered Surface)
While the Surface Pro 7 will be powered by an Intel processor, Microsoft will also announce a Surface tablet that is powered by an Arm-chipset. This device will launch as the Surface Campus. The name hints at it being targeted at students. Expect an insane battery life as well as LTE onboard.
This Surface Campus also has a kickstand and an attachable keyboard. There are also two USB Type-C ports on the left. One of the images also shows a stylus.
Dual-Screen Surface
Other than the aforementioned devices, Evan Blass also adds that there is a dual-screen Surface device too. There are no images but he mentions that it will run a special version of Windows called Windows 10X which has been designed for dual-screen and folding-screen devices.
The event will hold in New York tomorrow and should be live-streamed.
