Microsoft Declares Surface Event 2019
In the meantime, there’s being a lot of buzz around Microsoft lastly taking leap of faith with new hardware form factor such as dual screen Windows laptops.
If the rumours are to be believed, the company is working on “Centaurus”, an internal codename that is given to the dual-screen foldable laptop-tablet hybrid. Microsoft’s dual-screen foldable laptop, on the other hand, is still quite questionable to ship anytime sooner as rumours suggest that the company is aiming for 2020 launch for the new devices.
Microsoft has been building “Centaurus,” for more than two years, and it’s designed to be the hero device for a wave of new dual-screen tablet / laptop hybrids that we’re guessing to see all through the year 2020.
Centaurus of Microsoft has made some unofficial appearances in advance of an official release. On the other hand, the reference hardware was showcased to employees at an internal meeting previously this year.
So far, as per to the reports, Microsoft’s foldable dual-screen Surface laptop is going to run on a custom Windows 10 Lite OS as well as it also depend on Intel Lakefield chipset for great performance. The laptop is going to arise motivations from Microsoft’s long forgotten Courier tablet notion.
However, Microsoft has maintained to maintain the privacy on the new Surface design, OEMs have already started the groundwork.
Previously this year, Lenovo showcased what it defined as the ‘world’s first foldable PC’. Lenovo’s foldable PC is all set to make its appearance in the year 2020, and it will feature a 13.3-inch 4:3 OLED 2K LG display. The laptop can also be folded in half like a book and it will look same as a big tablet when it will opened up.
Taking foldable dual-screen Surface device aside, Microsoft is also expected to launch its second gen Surface Go. Advertised as Apple iPad Pro substitute, Microsoft Surface Go is also the most compact Surface device right now. The tablet is obtainable in India at a price starting at Rs 38,599. The Surface Go 2 may possibly bring more design modifications as well as better processors under the hood.
On the other hand, a new Surface Studio was launched previous year as well as Microsoft’s development cycle for that PC seems to be a bit lengthier, so it’s not a certain thing that we are going to see an additional update to be unveiled this year.
