This time should be the occasion, Surface Studio will finally benefit from a hardware update. However, we should not expect a redesign of the design, but an improvement in the technical data sheet. Starting with the processor, Intel Core i7 from 11e generation, along with 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. Only one copy should be marketed, without the possibility of customization.
Three USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports will be added to the device, connecting the two USB-A ports from the last iteration. On the other hand, the SD card slot on the Surface Studio 3 should disappear, and the All-In-One PC will also be equipped with a better webcam, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos certification.
For the rest, Microsoft should unveil the Surface Pen and Surface Keyboard. A device known as Project Volterra or Black Rock may also appear. It will be a small desktop computer, the first in the range, under the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3. This device will be designed by the Surface team, but should not be marketed within the Surface range.
According to Zac Bowden, it is highly unlikely that the Surface Laptop Studio 2, Surface Go 4, Surface Duo 3, Surface Neo, Surface Laptop SE 2, or
Surface Laptop Go 3 will be announced during the event.
