As for what Microsoft has in store, this event looks to be shaping up to be a pretty momentous one. We're expecting to see Surface Book 3, Surface Pro 7, and Surface Laptop 3 all make an appearance among the announcements. However, that's only touching the surface.
We're also expecting to see Microsoft give us at least a look at what it's been cooking up with the rumored "Project Centaurus", which is said to be a dual-screen foldable device between eight and 12 inches. Alongside Centaurus, we may also get a look at the Windows Lite operating system, which is said to be focused on a lighter experience to compete with iPadOS and Chrome OS.
