Surface Studio is one of Microsoft's best ideas in a long time; however, some users have been asking for the company to expand the lineup with a separate Surface monitor . Well, here's what we know so far about the launch of this and another product, the highly anticipated modular PC.
The Surface Studio was launched in 2016 as a product specifically designed for the professional sector, where design, hardware, and a high-quality finish were paramount. This all-in-one device captivated us with its large touchscreen featuring True Scale technology and was complemented by the unique Surface Dial accessory, which can be used on top of the screen.
Since then, many have expected the Redmond company to also launch a monitor in its product line, something that Brad Sams claims is already under consideration. The author of " Beneath a Surface " has indicated that the company has this device in mind, a Surface Monitor that will be released in 2020.
Not only that. The announcement of a modular PC is also eagerly awaited , something that Panos Panay, product director of Microsoft Devices, already hinted at in an interview with the American media outlet The Verge , and of which we have even seen some images - you have one below - of a patent registered (and leaked , of course, at the beginning of last month).
There are more rumors circulating that are gaining traction lately regarding the company's plans in this sector, such as the fact that the company is still involved in the so-called Project Andromeda , with a foldable Surface that will take a long time to be released, or that the company led by Satya Nadella is working on an " ambient-computing " device related to the Internet of Things that is also part of the Surface brand.
There's also talk about the type of processor Microsoft will use. Apparently, the American company is considering changing course and betting on AMD as an alternative to Intel, after the latter's significant and repeated delays with 10nm chips. In connection with this, and according to the information circulating, Microsoft should surprise us with a new Surface laptop powered by AMD as early as next year.
The Surface family is as you see more alive than ever and promises to be filled with variety very soon. The future of the range could not paint better.
