New Microsoft Surface Hardware Is Arriving Tomorrow (techcrunch.com)
Microsoft is teasing a new Surface device announcement for tomorrow. The company tweeted out the leading question "Where will Surface go next?" along with an image of the full lineup -- the Pro, Laptop, Book 2 and swiveling all-in-one Studio. Each computer in the image displays 6:00 on Tuesday, July 10. TechCrunch reports: The big news will probably drop tomorrow, most likely in the A.M. So, what's on deck for the Surface line? Given that all of the key players are present and accounted for here, an entirely new entry seems like a pretty reasonable guess. Rumors of a new, low-end device have been making the rounds for a few months now. Back in May, talk surfaced of a new, low-cost entry, aimed at competing more directly with the iPad. That certainly makes sense from a Portfolio standpoint. Other rumors include the loss of the proprietary Surface connector, in favor of USB-C and "rounded edges." UPDATE: Microsoft jumped the gun and announced "the newest member of the Surface Family," the Surface Go. It starts at $399 and features a 10-inch display, integrated kickstand, and Windows 10. It is available starting July 10th and will ship in August.
apple needs to step up.
Mac os is better then windows 10 ways but the hardware sucks and it very out of date with the same old pricing.
Since when did an upcoming announcement become news?
Wait until they announce something.
At least when Steve Jobs was around there was some excitement about upcoming news events as something innovative might be announced, but no-one cares about minor hardware upgrades.
If it's microsoft, don't buy it. End of story.
