Microsoft announces Surface event on October 2nd in New York City
- Thread starter StudioTan
- Start date
I hope they do a phone even if it is just running a version of Android.
I really miss my Lumia Icon. Sad it was the only Windows phone I got to use. Miss the OS like crazy.
It's not necessarily about the raw performance but many applications have to be emulated still and the performance hit is massive - nothing that I would expect from a "pro" device.
I've been dreaming about dual screened art device for what seems like forever...
i got good news for you....
That's what I'm here for. I almost bought one a few weeks ago but decided to wait.
3rd party ODM's ARM Win 10 tablets using older SD835 and SD845 launched at $700~800 on the average so 8cx Surface will certainly launch at least more than Core Y version of Surface Pro. Fact of the matter is that the top of the line Qualcomm SoC have more transistors than the current quad core 15W i5/i7.
ARM Surface will be an always on device with similar muscle as Core i5 and much better battery life than Intel 15W SoCs. It will be a premium device. End of story.
Well aware of the Lenovo but I did my 2017 doodle as a Surface product so let me root for a dual screen Surface to ship first lolz.
I want a "Surface G" for gaming.
Sick of big heavy laptops and desktops.
But I don't want to pay $5000 for one.

If the rumored specs for Centaurus are true & if Lite / Core OS looks like it has potential as a lightweight OS long term, I'm in.
I'll try to find the link later but IIRC was a Forbes article that had this at:
Dual 9"inch screens at a 4:3 ratio when fully opened
LTE / 5G enabled
Lite / Core OS - Lightweight modular platform - big factor will be how they handle the touch enabled portion of the platform; which was apparently a huge Andromeda / Centaurus focus
ATOM 10nm Lakefield - Performance dependent on Lite / Core OS but I've got a lot of faith in present day Microsoft
That's enough to get me interested in dropping my Pro. Rumors of Android / Blue Stacks support could pad out the app gap, too.
That ship is gone. They are not making a new mobile OS. If they make a Surface phone, it will most definitely use Android.
What underlying OS a platform uses is no longer something that is high priority for Microsoft.
Any Surface attempt at this would be far more expensive than the competition, because Microsoft does not want to overshadow their OEMs.
Once you go C you cannot unC.
Seriously USB-C is the best thing ever. I wish every device had it. I love having just one cable for everything.
Finally. I have been waiting > a year for a surface book refresh. And I hope my wait will come to an end soon.
If Microsoft still can't figure out to add USB C to the surface laptop after three iterations, they deserve to fail
I used to be on board with this sentiment, but I have a Surface Go and, honestly, the keyboard is too small to comfortably type on. I definitely make more typos and have to keep my arms in an uncomfortable arrangement when typing on it, which makes any writing or programming feel like more of a chore. We have a Surface Pro 6 also, and it feels like the perfect size for "doing work". I'm pretty close to being done with my Go. The main reason I've kept it is because I've got the LTE version and it's great for commuting, but honestly, I wouldn't get another after it.
Yeah, I'm hoping for WiFi 6, 120Hz and thinner bezels on the SB3... might be everything I want.
Lmao, I remember when I got my Lumia 720 and posted on that thread saying "I just got a windows phone!".
One of the replies was "my condolences"
Please bring me back from life with a boring iPhone! Windows Phone was my first love!
Yeah. Getting excited. I just like Panos as a speaker. Cracks me up.
I'm obsessed with the Surface Go, I want one. It looks like a good iPad alternative and second laptop, but the battery life is a turn off.
Hopefully there's a refresh with better battery life at this event.
