Microsoft appears to be working on new hardware that will be
unveiled in the coming years. The report suggests that the
Redmond giant is working on foldable
Andromeda,
Surface Pro 6,
HoloLens 2, new Xbox Console and an
affordable Surface tablet.
Today, the ever-reliable Microsoft watcher Walking Cat has
revealed that the Surface Lingo is the codename of the upcoming
device from the software giant, and this follows a previous
report from Bloomberg announcing that new
10-inch Surface tablets could be released later this
year.
Walking Cat claims that an upcoming Surface device is codenamed
Lingo. He adds that the Lingo is most likely a device,
while Gibson/Lexington are accessories for it.

Gibson is a TypeCover, and it will launch in Burgundy, Cobalt
Blue, Platinum and Black colours. Lex/Lexington, on the other
hand, is an unknown accessory that will come in Platinum,
Cobalt Blue and Burgundy colours.

Microsoft’s Surface hardware lineup is exciting
All the different reports we saw this week suggest that the
affordable Surface tablet will be unveiled in the summer, and
it’s going to be a busy year for Microsoft, with the long
rumoured Andromeda launching later this year as well.
A minor update for Surface Pro and Surface Laptop is also
planned, and a report from The Verge revealed
recently that HoloLens 2 could also be officially announced
this year.
Surface Pro 6, on the other hand, will be unveiled next year
but it will feature a whole new design. It’s worth mentioning
that the software giant hasn’t really refreshed the design of
its Surface lineup since 2014, so it will be interesting to see
what Microsoft is cooking behind the closed doors.
It remains to be seen if the affordable Surface-branded Windows
10 will beat Apple in the tablet market, and out-innovate the
iPad design.
The report suggests that the affordable Surface tablet will be
unveiled in summer and the Redmond giant could hold a special
event to introduce these new Surface tablets.
The next up is Microsoft’s Andromeda, a foldable mobile device,
will be unveiled later this year with phone capabilities.
There are several good reasons to
consider buying an Surface tablet instead of the
other expensive tablet.
