Microsoft's Surface Roadmap Reportedly Includes Ambient Computing and a Modular All-in-One PC
Journalist Brad Sams is releasing a book chronicling the company's Surface brand: Beneath a Surface. VentureBeat writes: While you'll want to read all 26 chapters to get the juicy details, the last one includes Microsoft's hardware roadmap for 2019, and even a part of 2020 -- spanning various Surface products and even a little Xbox. Here's a quick rundown of Microsoft's current Surface lineup plans: Spring 2019: A new type of Surface-branded ambient computing device designed to address "some of the common frustrations of using a smartphone," but that isn't itself a smartphone.Q4 2019: Surface Pro refresh with USB-C (finally), smaller bezels, rounded corners, and new color options. Q4 2019: AMD-based Surface Laptop -- Microsoft is exploring using the Picasso architecture. Late 2019: Microsoft's foldable tablet Andromeda could be larger than earlier small form factor prototypes for a pocketable device with dual screens and LTE connectivity.Q1 2020: Surface Book update that might include new hinge designs (high-end performance parts may delay availability).2020: A Surface monitor, and the modular design debuted for Surface Hub 2 could make its way to Surface Studio. The idea is to bring simple upgrades to all-in-one PCs, rather than having to replace the whole computer. GeekWire adds: A pair of new lower-cost devices Xbox One S devices could come next year. Sams reports that one of the models may be all digital, without a disc drive.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
