Microsoft Surface event 2018: Here is all we can expect from the hardware event

Although there is no visible fanfare around the Microsoft Surface Event which is slated to take place on 2 October at 4 pm ET (1.30 am IST), we may see the launch of Surface Laptop 2, Surface Pro 6, and Surface Studio 2. The event will most likely give the Surface phone a miss, a device which still appears to be a myth.[caption id="attachment_5298921" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Microsoft Surface Laptop.

He predicted that prices of the product will be more or less the same and may come with updated hardware.We will also likely see the launch of the Windows 10 October update which was announced earlier in September at IFA 2018 in Berlin.
