Microsoft plans 'special event' in New York for 21st of September

Microsoft has started sending out invitations to various media outlets for a "special event" to be held in New York on 21 September.

Here's What We Know

The message reads: "Mark your calendars for Thursday, 21 September 2023, for a special event that Microsoft is planning." It's already a tradition for the company to hold events dedicated to Surface products in September or October, so we can expect the new hardware to be unveiled next month.

In particular, we know that Microsoft has plans to release Surface Go 4, Surface Laptop Studio 2, and Surface Laptop Go 3. According to Windows Central, the updated Surface Laptop Studio 2 will feature the latest Intel processors, a more powerful GPU, and an expanded selection of ports. It also turned out that Microsoft decided to abandon Arm processors for Surface Go 4 in favour of Intel processors

It's also possible that the event could provide more details about the upcoming major update for Windows 11. Earlier this year, Microsoft announced a September update for Windows 11 that should include built-in support for RAR and 7-Zip files, a redesigned Settings home page, an improved volume mixer, and access to the early Windows Copilot app.
