What you need to know

Microsoft will hold a Surface event on either September 30 or October 1, according to a leak byWalkingCat on Twitter. WalkingCat is unsure of the exact date due to timezones but states the event will be within that timeframe. Microsoft regularly holds Surface events in the fall, such as last year when the company announced theSurface Pro 7,Surface Duo, andSurface Pro X.

While we don’t know what will be announced at the event, we could potentially see the announcement of aSurface Pro X with a Microsoft SQ2 chipandMicrosoft’s midrange Surface Laptop. Both of those devices will reportedly launch in the October timeframe, so an announcement on September 30 or October 1 would make sense.

Surface event = Oct. 1 or Sep. 30, not sure about the timezone stuff 😅Surface event = Oct. 1 or Sep. 30, not sure about the timezone stuff 😅— WalkingCat (@h0x0d)September 18, 2020September 18, 2020

Regardless of the exact date, it appears that Microsoft’s fall Surface event is only a couple of weeks away, so we shouldn’t have to wait long to see more Surface hardware.
