Microsoft Windows 10 has revolutionizes Windows thinking for future, but living in the future means constantly building something new can better and think about future needs. As foldable device now become a reality like Samsung recently announced Galaxy Fold, we are dipping into the future of mobility and Microsoft has to prepare for it as soon as possible. 

Microsoft Windows has recently gain modern changes like support for ARM processor which means that your smartphone will able to run full Windows 10 without any lag or hiccups, but Windows is much heavier OS in terms of overall system requirement as it requires heavier RAM, more storage and boot time is slow against other mobile OS like Android, iOS or ChromeOS. ChromeOS set a bar for future of computing by introduction of Chrome Books as they light, lightening fast, thin and get job done pretty easily. 

Chrome Book is suitable for people who work in light kind of environment where people require to write articles or browse internet these light task won’t require much effort. Last year, reports of a new Microsoft OS called “Windows Lite” began to emerge, and they detailed an OS built on Windows Core OS, as this OS is aims to take over ChromeOS, Microsoft will trim down the experience of Windows 10 make it light and suitable for light base user which don’t like to perform heavier task. 

Microsoft called this project as a codename of “Santorini” is being used to talk about Windows Lite. As Windows Lite is not likable name as it sounds trim down version of Windows 10, but it is not Microsoft has pretty much different approach to this design. Santorini is one of the Greek Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea.

Microsoft internally working on many different Windows Core OS like Aruba which we have seen in Surface Hub 2, Oasis which probably coming in next-gen HaloLens 2, Santorini which is a codename for Windows 10 Lite.

Rumors are suggesting that Microsoft will take of this project as soon as possible could be around Build developer conference in May which is their own developers event. It hopes as Microsoft will build this OS for their own foldable smartphone Surface Phone which surely not able to see any green signal but hope is still alive. 

As Microsoft announce their event dates, a picture of devices which they expected introduce is started to appear around the Internet. As a recent Benchmark, the result appears in Geekbench website of Microsoft Surface Studio second-generation device which has achieved a notably higher score as compared with previous Surface Studio but the benchmark won’t look much amazing after all. 

Microsoft debuted Surface Studio back in 2016 which was take over Apple iMac devices with the introduction of Touch Screen compatibility and also works with Surface Pen and Surface Dial. All these innovations lead to a hefty price tag of Surface Studio but it really takes user’s heart. But as the device becomes two years older it should need some upgrade as this event is a right time for Microsoft to debut their 2nd Gen. Surface Studio. 

Talking about the benchmark of Studio 2, despite Intel’s two Gen. ahead in terms of a processor as compared to Surface Studio benchmark results suggesting that it uses Intel Core i7 7820HQ, which was the last year CPU. As it has more power than 6820HQ which was housed in the previous gen. Surface Studio. It is expected to have 8th Gen. Processor but somehow Microsoft won’t able to make it on time. The RAM speed is reported as 1,200 MHz, though that is likely a halving of the double data rate (DDR) RAM, and therefore operates at a respectable 2,400MHz. But that’s only a couple of hundred megahertz faster than the original Surface Studio although it does appear to come with 32GB, rather than the typical 16GB of the first-gen. all-in-one.

The result of performance shows that the device performs 10 percent faster as compared to the predecessor. Where the Surface Studio scored 4,225 and 14,471 points in single and multi-core tests respectively, while the Studio 2 managed just 4,680 and 15,915 so same test. The performance won’t look like people to upgrade the device if they had first gen. Surface Studio. But it is considered noting that we have seen numerous benchmark over a period of time having a different configuration of CPU and RAM. It might be that Surface Studio may introduce a cheaper and better version of Surface Studio.

Graphics of Studio 2 hasn’t much talk about yet, previous gen. Studio includes Nvidia 980M GPU this time we at least hope Surface Studio 2 will bring Pascal 10th Gen. hardware in their new build. It could be nice see better GPU option like Nvidia RTX 2080 GPU which really made Studio 2 a powerhouse.

Microsoft Surface has really taken Windows computing to another level by introduction of the first Surface which shows us the possibility of a tablet and laptop coexist with each other very well and after 5 major releases Microsoft Surface Pro is still the best windows device you can get. Microsoft also expands their ecosystem with new devices in a range which includes Surface Book, Surface Studio and Surface Hub. As these devices are capable of any kind of work from Artist to Architect, from Engineers to Creator and much more. 

Now Microsoft announces their new hardware event which will be going to held on October 2 in New York. This event is expected to release some hardware and refreshes from Microsoft. Microsoft held an event like this way back in 2015 after then they only announce the upgrades in their hardware while they won’t do any bigger event for Surface   Go.

So we are expecting to see some Surface devices showoff in this event probably includes new Hardware like Intel 8th Gen. processor and Ports Improvement like an introduction of Thunderbolt 3. So let see what devices and improvement we are going to see,

Surface Pro 6

Surface Pro 6

Microsoft announces last Surface Pro update in May 2017, just after the release of Surface Laptop. As Surface Pro is a successor of Surface Pro 4 as Microsoft won’t follow the naming scheme as like previous devices and called the 5th Gen. of a surface device as Surface Pro. Surface Pro 6th Gen. may include latest Intel Processor Coffee Lake processor which might include 4 Core processor and up to 32GB of RAM support for Surface Pro. New Surface Pro may also include USB-C Thunderbolt 3 Port as most of Tablet Laptop Hybrid not include this port combination as it will make Surface Pro really a powerhouse. Microsoft may also add support for HDR or Wide Color Gamut for PixelSense Display as many industry laptops now supporting it.  

Surface Laptop 2

Surface Laptop 2

Surface Laptop was announced last year May 2017, as it was made to deliver the Surface Laptop experience more affordable range. But it somehow won’t able to make user hand as it is priced at $999 as Surface Pro starts from $999 for Core i5 Model as Surface Laptop was won’t able to match user compatibility much. But this time Microsoft will include new improvement to Surface Laptop 2 which will include New Intel’s Coffee Lake Processor RAM support for up to 32GB and Type C Thunderbolt 3 Port.

Surface Go LTE

Surface Go is the latest lineup in Surface line as it was announced early this year, so don’t expect to have many upgrades but Surface Go will include LTE model which will cost $100 extra to get a Cellular model and this change will truly welcome by a user.

Surface Studio 2

Microsoft Surface Studio: A complete PC

Microsoft also in a better position to release their second-generation Surface Studio, as they are working on this very hard and codenames as “Capitola,” which will include updated internals. Might include all Type C Thunderbolt 3 Ports with some USB 3.0 Support which is really nice to have. While Microsoft also tries to include Nvidia Graphics in this device may include Nvidia latest RTX graphics. Display of Surface Studio may include HDR or Wider color Gamut support.

Surface Studio may able to ready for this event but we will like to see this device in action.

Surface Studio Pro 

Surface Studio 2

Microsoft may push their hardware to workstation level and introduce Studio Pro which will include Intel Xeon Processor as this device will only make for Pro user and help a user to get Workstation performance as a uniform package with Windows support. Possibly they will include Nvidia Quadro GPU or may go for AMD’s RX GPU’s. Hope to see this device in action from Microsoft this time.

Smart speaker and headset

Microsoft Speaker

A smart speaker is now becoming user major market for companies as many reputed brands already grabbing this market and we hope to see Microsoft will soon grab this market. Microsoft already has Cortana which already a good assistant and have many good features than other’s but Cortana integration in Home will change Windows experience to another level. So hope to see this device this time. 

Microsoft also on the new headset which will be integrated for smart work and work seamlessly with Windows devices.

Surface Book 3

Surface Book 3

We don’t expect much in this topic as Surface Book 2 just not even a year old yet so making another release won’t help Microsoft to grab many markets but if it will be upgraded may include larger battery life, better display, and upgraded GPU.

Andromeda

Surface Andromeda

Microsoft’s most highly anticipated Andromeda device won’t able to make this event as it has been already delayed and may able to make it next year. But we’ll surely like to see Andromeda in action or at least have some sneak peak about it as how it gonna be and what it will able to do.

So these are the products which we are expecting to release in this Microsoft event while there is something more may Microsoft able to us apart from a traditional upgrade.
