Microsoft’s next Surface Pro 8 tablet and its upcoming Surface Laptop 4 have appeared in leaked images online. Twitter user cozyplanes discovered the images at what appears to be an FCC-like filing, noting that the Surface Pro 8 may ship with LTE support. Both devices will likely launch early next year, and don’t appear to feature any major updates to their design.

 

Windows Central reports that the Surface Pro 8 and Surface Laptop 4 could launch as early as mid-January, with 11th Gen Intel processors and Intel’s Xe graphics support. The Surface Laptop 4 is also rumored to include AMD processor options, which will likely be a custom Microsoft chip based on AMD’s Ryzen 4000 series.

 

 

Microsoft previously co-engineered a special Ryzen Surface Edition processor for the 15-inch Surface Laptop 3, AMD and Microsoft had promised that it had optimized the CPU and GPU performance, but the chipset struggled in basic tasks like 4K video playback.

 

Microsoft typically refreshes its Surface Pro and Surface Laptop lineup in October. The last major update was the Surface Laptop 3 last year, alongside the updated Surface Pro 7. This year saw the introduction of a new Surface Laptop Go model, alongside an updated Surface Pro X.

Surface Studio also deserved to get updates as well, on top of Pro and Laptop variants. It's been 2 years since the last update in 2018.

Meanwhile  IOS  has passed  windows in the USA  again now the  MACOS   has grew a little but not much .  Must be all them Ipads  .Microsoft needed  to  had released  a IPad killer  this year .  Most likely only thing will change this is another lockdown . Windows grew  to  33%  in July  now  back down to 30%  Before May IOS was way ahead. They passed Windows back  in NOV 2019   Windows took the lead back  May -Oct  it was short lived, MAC OS  almost got as much users  as Android in the USA they  going to pass Google you watch  and see. iI may just be the Holidays   were every one not home? the pandemic made every thing backward were people was at home all summer  .

 

 

But they not released nothing all year in Laptops  but a  $500  laptop with a 2019 Intel  Processor . Microsoft  the company of coming next year ,that all I heard  for over a year they said it was going to be 2020 when they  was going to release  Windows 10x  with x86 apps they said this in 2019  then they back tracked they say it want have x86 apps now,  they want sell without  a full set of apps.  Just like  they  not been able to sell Windows 10s or Windows ARM. We know they have the prototypes they showed them themselves  before . Only way they going make a tablet killer is call it something besides Windows.

 

1. Microsoft closed  all there  retail  stores   June 2020  and they was already going close them before the pandemic.

 

2. Microsoft shots themselves  in the foot  with hardware  only thing going  to help them  is stop   giving  away Windows 10  for free  and crack down on Piracy  like Apple does with IOS , then  just sell OEM devices to home users  also they would have to cut the middle men out all the PC vendors    and  they could  still sell Windows as a service for  enterprise .  Microsoft has 100s of  millions  consumers that  not bought  a PC  since  they  made  Windows 7.  

 

3.  They try to sell , rent and giveaway  to much  software  to  ever be a success  at hardware . They try to compete with Apple  were  Hardware  and  services  for consumers  and developers is all they  do  When apple  make 2 times  as much as Microsoft  does and most of  apple profits come from selling hardware . They  seen people were buying PCs  again  so they  drop  the M1 MACs .
