Microsoft is hosting a digital event on March 21st titled “Powering a new era of work with Copilot.” Possible announcements include a new Surface device that could be branded as an AI PC for the first time. His Windows hardware event, which will be absent from longtime keynote speaker Panos Panay, a former chief product officer who left Amazon last year, is already his second, and mainline his Surface Pro announcement. will be the first time. Here’s everything we could see at the company’s first launch event in 2024.
company I will explain This event will cover the “Latest News on Augmenting AI in Your Environment with Copilot, Windows, and Surface.” There are conflicting reports about what will happen in late March.
windows central Claim The OLED Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 will be the stars of the event, with upgraded processors allowing for “significant performance and efficiency gains” compared to previous generations. However, in a report from The Verge suggest This month’s event will only feature the business and commercial version of the device, which has much more subtle upgrades than the consumer version. The outlet claims a consumer version with a “larger redesign” will follow later this spring.
The new devices are said to be powered by Intel Core Ultra or Snapdragon X Elite silicon with next-generation neural processing units (NPUs) for advanced AI tasks. The Intel version is expected to launch in April, while the Arm-based Snapdragon version will reportedly arrive a few months later in June. If reports are accurate, this will be the first time the Surface Laptop series will include an Arm-based version.
The Surface Pro 10 is rumored to switch from an LCD to an anti-reflective OLED screen, at least in the consumer model. This device is brighter than the Surface Pro 9’s screen and supports HDR content. Meanwhile, the Surface Laptop 6 is rumored to have thinner display bezels (with rounded corners) and a haptic touchpad. The updated port selection is said to include two USB-C and one USB-A on the left side.
The commercial/business model (which may be all we see at this month’s event) is rumored to include options for a built-in Common Access Card (CAC) reader and up to 64GB of RAM.
Whether at this month’s event or beyond, the new consumer Surface Pro and Surface Laptop are expected to kick off Microsoft’s commitment to AI PCs powered by Windows 11. They will reportedly be one of the first products to feature an on-device version of Copilot. Other rumored AI features include real-time captioning and translation, game upscaling and frame rate smoothing, upgraded Windows Studio effects, and a feature called AI Explorer. Both devices will reportedly include an exclusive His Copilot key.
AI Explorer is rumored to include a searchable timeline using natural language.Probably something similar to a third party Rewind AI app For macOS, the feature is said to allow users to log everything they do and see on their device and sift through it with Copilot. With it, you can ask the Assistant, “Look for that thing about dinosaurs,” and it’ll show you every dinosaur-related moment in your PC’s history. (This can be a privacy nightmare if not handled properly, but we expect Microsoft to provide security guarantees like encryption and completely on-device processing.)
The feature is said to “understand context, help jump-start projects and workflows, and even suggest tasks based on what’s currently on screen.” Other rumored features include the ability to tell Copilot to remove the background of images on your screen from third-party apps in the Photos app.
This AI feature is not expected to be limited to Surface devices, and will reportedly be introduced in this year’s annual feature update for Windows 11 (version 24H2), scheduled for the fall.
