Microsoft's Surface announcement slated for May 23

PanARMENIAN.Net - Microsoft is holding an event this month, the company announced on Thursday, May 5, at which it says it will “show the world what’s next.” The event will take place in Shanghai on May 23, but Microsoft didn’t specify either the precise location of the event, nor exactly what it will be showing, BetaNews reports.

There are some additional clues to that new hardware to be gleaned from social media. Panos Panay — Microsoft’s vice president of devices and the creator of the Surface — tweeted the announcement alongside the hashtag “#Surface.” The tag, and Panay’s planned attendance in Shanghai, could mean that Microsoft is ready to show off the Surface Pro 5.

In the meantime, Microsoft has shown off its Surface Laptop — a $999 laptop that runs the new Windows 10 S operating system.
