Microsoft's next Surface event is on October 2




Microsoft is planning to hold a fall press event in New York City next month. The software maker has started sending invites to the media today, asking for a “moment of your time.” The event will start at 4PM ET / 1PM PT on October 2nd, and focus on Microsoft’s latest hardware, software, and services. While there have been rumors of an “Andromeda” dual-screen device, we’re not expecting to see this particular hardware at the event.


Instead, the event will likely include refreshes of Microsoft’s existing Surface hardware. Microsoft has reportedly been working on a big redesign for the Surface Pro, but that design isn’t likely to be ready until next year. Instead, we’re expecting Microsoft to refresh its Surface Pro line and Surface Laptops with the latest Intel processors. It’s also been two years since Microsoft first unveiled its Surface Studio, and this all-in-one PC is definitely overdue a refresh.

The fall events from the big tech companies are lining up. Apple will hold its grand unveiling of new iPhones, smartwatches, and maybe even iPads next week, on September 12. Google is announcing new Pixels on October 9.


And Microsoft has just scheduled its own hardware event for October 2, at 4 PM local time in New York City. As you can see, the invite itself doesn't give anything away, but expect to see at least some updates to its current roster of Surface devices, if not also new ones being introduced.

Key possibilities include Surface Laptop and Surface Studio refreshes, and maybe a spec bump for the Surface Pro and Surface Book 2. Who knows, a Surface Hub 2 may show up too. We'll have to wait and see, as leaks regarding devices that aren't phones are generally few and far between.
