Microsoft has invited reporters to New York City for a “special Microsoft event,” on September 21, probably signaling a refresh of Microsoft Surface {hardware} in opposition to the backdrop of the latest Windows 11 replace.

Microsoft’s taking part in it near the vest; the invitation doesn’t provide any clues apart from the Microsoft brand in quite a lot of colours. Microsoft hasn’t offered a time for the occasion, both.

However, most Microsoft watchers know that the autumn is when Microsoft unveils its annual (or semi-annual) replace of Windows 11. Microsoft has been setting the stage with varied updates looking forward to Windows 11 23H2. The largest replace would be the inclusion of Windows Copilot, a mixture of Bing Chat and an assistant (but not Cortana, sadly) which can be capable of tweak your PC after you ask it to. Windows Copilot hasn’t been that spectacular so far, however we’re betting it improves by then.

The different facet to the launch is the anticipated updates to Microsoft Surface {hardware}. Windows Central believes that it’ll embody the Surface Laptop Go 3 in addition to the Surface Go 4, each of which cater to mainstream customers. The sexiest addition may very well be a sequel to the Surface Laptop Studio, Microsoft’s finest system in years. A Surface Laptop Studio 2 ought to have an up-to-date Intel processor (hopefully Thirteenth-gen or above) inside — fingers crossed that it’s Meteor Lake.
