Microsoft will only show two new computers this year
Microsoft is expected to announce new product launches next month. A fresh leak reports that this year we will see only two new computers from the company, one of which will be only a slightly improved version of last year’s model.
Microsoft will release an improved version of the 2-in-1 Surface Pro X with a new SQ2 processor based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx chipset, according to the authoritative Windows Central. One of the main innovations will be support for fifth-generation cellular networks. In addition, the CPU and GPU frequencies will slightly increase compared to the SQ1 chip on which the original Surface Pro X is based. In addition, the computer will receive a new platinum case color.
In addition to the updated Surface Pro X, Microsoft will introduce the budget Surface Laptop, codenamed Sparti. The device will receive a 12.5-inch screen and will cost less than $ 600. It should be the most affordable laptop in Microsoft’s portfolio.
According to Zac Bowden of Windows Central, Microsoft has postponed the announcement of the Surface Pro 8, Surface Laptop 4 and Surface Studio 3 computers to next year for a number of unnamed reasons. Most likely, these unnamed reasons lie in the difficulties with production and supply caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
