that can be expected at the event. These leaked devices include a Surface Pro 7, which will reportedly come with USB-C connector instead of Mini DisplayPort and will be powered by a 10th-gen Intel Core CPU. [caption id=“attachment_7431721” align=“alignnone” width=“1280”]

This is in line with previous rumours, which suggested that at the Surface event, Microsoft would launch a Surface device codenamed Centaurus, which will kick off a range of dual-screen Surface portfolio. This dual-screen Surface has reportedly been in development for two years and will be available for purchase in 2020.
