14 DAY TRIAL // A new leak provides us with an early look at the some of the Surface models that will be announced by Microsoft during a hardware event tomorrow.
These images, published by leaker Evan Blass, reveal Microsoft’s new Surface Pro 7, 15-inch Surface Laptop (part of the third-generation Surface Laptop), as well as an ARM-powered Surface model.
Furthermore, Blass suggests a dual-screen Surface model would also be announced at the show, but a picture of this particular device isn’t included in this leak.
As for what’s new on the Surface Pro 7 and the Surface Laptop 3, not much appears to be changed, at least from a design perspective. The new models share most of their looks with the ones of the previous models, despite rumors that Microsoft could launch a redesigned Surface Pro with smaller bezels.
Other upgrades
However, we expect substantial improvements under the hood, with new hardware obviously very likely, and there’s a chance Microsoft will also offer a boost in terms of RAM and storage options.
The third-generation Surface Laptop will introduce the biggest change, as it’ll include a 15-inch model. This will be Microsoft’s biggest conventional laptop, joining the Surface Book 2 in the 15-inch size category. The feature lineup will be pretty much the same as on the regular Surface Laptop, and Microsoft is expected to offer this device in similar color options, including a black one, as pictured here.
New color options are also possible, and so is an ARM-based Surface model, albeit for the time being, it’s not yet clear if any other difference in specs would be included. The ARM Surface will run Windows 10 on ARM and be focused specifically on battery life.
Other announcements prepared at tomorrow’s show could include upgrades for the Surface Go, as well as new accessories, like keyboards and mice.
