Microsoft is preparing for the Surface Event scheduled on October 2, 2019, in New York City. Tech enthusiasts are expecting that the Redmond-based tech giant s going to release myriad of new hardware, software, and accessories. Among the hardware expected to be revealed during the event are the Surface 7 Pro and the Surface Laptop 3 which allegedly will feature built-in LTE and removable SSD.
The Microsoft Surface Pro 7 and the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 are expected to be revealed during the Microsoft Surface Event on October 2. These devices are anticipated to sport a few changes that will prop up the hardware lineup of the Redmond-based tech giant. According to wccftech, Microsoft might finally introduce the USB-C interface in these devices and might drop the Thunderbolt 2 support.
Windowsarea, meanwhile, predicts that all Microsoft Surface Pro 7 variants will be released with built-in LTE modem to provide seamless connectivity. Few variants might feature Snapdragon 8cx and the Gen 10 Intel Comet Lake processors. An earlier report suggested that Microsoft was not pleased with the performance of Intel processors in the past and rumors have it that it might shift to AMD chips this year.
Although many sites predict that the Microsoft Surface Pro 7 will have the USB type C interface, it will not have the thunderbolt 3 support, which could be disappointing to Microsoft fans. It is worth noting that Microsoft's product is premium priced, which means that consumers are expecting that it would include the Thunderbolt 3 support while the USB type c interface is introduced.
The USB-C is anticipated to replace the DisplayPort input, but according to rumors, the Surface Connect port might be maintained and continued with the help of the PCI2 lane. Meanwhile, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 is anticipated to drop the Surface Connect port and will feature the USB-A I/O and USB-C.
The company is also expected to release both Microsoft Surface Pro 7 and Microsoft Surface laptop 3 with all-aluminum chassis to cater to business consumers. It might also drop the Alcantara fabric and will feature SSD that can be swapped. If this is accurate, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 will be the first machine to offer such convenience to its users.
While this might be accurate, we encourage you to take these predictions with a barrel of salt and with a fair amount of skepticism. We will find out if these predictions are accurate during the Microsoft Surface Event on October 2, 2019.
