According to reports, one of the possible Surface devices that could be unveiled during the upcoming Microsoft Fall Event could be the next-generation Surface Book, the laptop-tablet hybrid that came out with a sixth-generation Intel Skylake i5 or i7 processor for faster performance.
The expected upgrade from the rumored 2017 Surface Book includes the possible Intel eighth-generation CPU with updated displays. It might also come out with an improved design as well.
The Microsoft Surface Book is believed to be one of the possible product to receive an update since its last release took place in 2016.
Another report claimed that Microsoft might also release a new Surface product that is equipped with an Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) processor. According to Business Insider, the tech firm revealed back in December 2016 that they made a deal with Qualcomm to incorporate Windows 10 to low-cost ARM chips.
Since the result of the said partnership is yet to be seen, it can be expected that Panay could include the ARM processor-powered laptops to be unveiled during the upcoming fall event.
Microsoft is not expected to release a new Surface Pro tablet anytime soon since they just came up with the latest iteration of the product in Spring 2017.
