Leak reveals black Surface Laptop and Surface Pro

Microsoft is all ready to show off its new Surface devices and the latest version of its desktop operating system. As a means for both the Surface Laptop 2 and Surface Pro 6 to both connect to external displays, and to charge them. Well, the official description for today's event explicitely says that Microsoft Surface is going "Back to Black, " and the prolific leaker WalkingCat just tweeted picture of a Surface Laptop, a Surface Studio, and a Surface Pro in black.

Microsoft is expected to unveil newer versions of the Surface Pro and Surface Laptop on Tuesday.

The Surface Pro 6 reportedly retains the Core M option, but swaps in 8th generation cores up the stack as well.

A Surface event is scheduled for today, October 2.

Surface Pro series has been a benchmark for the high-end mobile PCs. Its recent Surface Book 2 and Surface laptop are known for their capable performance and premium design. As per a WinFuture report, Microsoft will launch the Surface Pro 6 and Surface Laptop 2 with some specification bumps. And the top-end models will feature 16GB of RAM and an Intel Core i7 processors. While we had hoped that the new OS will top the charts this Fall, it now appears an additional few months might be required for that to happen.

Since then, Microsoft abandoned that color scheme and made the platinum finish the "signature color" for Surface. Earlier this year, ZDNet reporter Mary Jo Foley shared that Microsoft could be working on a Surface-branded headset, and Windows Central also heard something about a smart speaker. In the video, we can see the yet-to-be-launched Surface Pro 6 in all its full glory. The original Surface Laptop shipped with an Alcantara keyboard, but it seems that not everyone is a fan of the material, and there are still some questions about its long-term durability. The report also notes that Microsoft will also offer slightly lower prices than before, although the black versions cost more, as they're only available for the pricier Laptop and Pro versions that have at least a Core i5 processor and at least 256GB of SSD.
