It would seem that Microsoft's upcoming Surface Book 2 may take somewhat longer than anticipated. Speculations were previously heard that Microsoft may plan to launch its next-gen laptop at its next event in April, however, reports this week pointing out that not being the case, with solid sources coming forward with new details.
This most recent news originates from ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley, who has a background associated by being dependable or reliable with early Microsoft-related information. As per her sources, the Surface Book 2 won't arrive this Spring and allegedly, the Surface Pro 5 may also end up being no show, as per Kitguru.
Week ago, many first heard that the Surface Book 2 would arrive soon in a new clamshell design. The case is said to be made out of aluminum-magnesium alloy. This would be a move far from the two-in-one design that set the Surface Book apart from the group when it initially launched, Techtimes cited.
As a substitute, people may end up observing another Surface item at Microsoft's Spring hardware launch. In the event that it's not the Surface Book or Surface Pro follow up, then maybe it will be the highly anticipated Surface Phone or even a new all in one system like a year ago's Surface Studio. Whatever the case may be, things seems to be up in the air for now.
For those thinking about whether the spring event could mark the coming of the Surface Phone - this appears to be impossible. Speculations and leaks have recommended that the Surface Phone's release has been pushed to late 2017 or 2018. Tech fans will also need to fight with the fact that no second-gen HoloLens will make a big appearance at the event because the gadget is anticipated to be out in 2019. Until further notice, one can just wait and see what surprises the company has to offer at its so-called Microsoft Spring 2017 hardware launch event.
