Copilot, new Surface devices and Windows 11

By Lucas Anderson On May 20, 2024 4 0

We’re gearing up for a huge week of news from Microsoft! Before its Build developer conference kicks off on Tuesday, the company has invited media to its Redmond offices today for a launch event. We expect Microsoft to show off a new batch of Arm-powered Surface PCs for consumers, as well as how it plans to better integrate AI into these devices and across Windows and other products.

Can Microsoft finally escape the curse of Windows on Arm devices? Follow along with our liveblog here starting at 1pm ET to find out! (Curiously, Microsoft isn’t livestreaming this event, but we’ll be hitting all the news as it drops.)

If you don’t quite know what to expect today, though, you can catch up by reading our article on what we expect Microsoft to unveil today!

Microsoft’s hardware approach might be a bit confusing. The company had an event earlier this year where it unveiled enterprise versions of the Surface Pro and Surface Laptop. You can check out Devindra’s review of the Surface Pro 10 for Business to get a sense of what those devices were about. Today, though, we’re expecting something more newsworthy and consumer-centric.

Anyway, our senior reporter Devindra Hardawar is on the ground in Redmond and will be bringing you all the news as Microsoft announces it. There is no livestream for this event, so I guess you’ll just have to stick around and read his words

Hello everyone and welcome to our liveblog of Microsoft’s event this morning. We don’t quite know what to call it just yet — it’s one day ahead of the company’s Build developer conference. But we think it’ll have news around Surface and AI. So for now, it’s the Surface and AI event? Like it’s been for the company all year?
