Microsoft has just confirmed that it will hold a Surface and Windows event on March 21, as previously rumored. The company went live with a placeholder webpage for a digital event titled “New Era of Work,” teasing some new announcements and how it will ” advance the new era of work with Copilot.”
Set to kick off at 9 a.m. PT on March 21 , it’s looking as though this event might be a little bit more focused on the business side of things, rather than consumer offerings. Microsoft doesn’t get into many details, but mentioned how the event will be focused on “the latest in scaling AI in your environment with Copilot, Windows, and Surface.”
It’s not clear if we’ll see a full device reveal, or simply a quick tease, but this means that this event could tprovide some news about the Surface Pro 10, as well as the Surface Laptop 6. The Verge reports it is expecting to see business versions of the devices.
Based on earlier rumors, the Surface Pro 10 is expected to come with an OLED display, an improved webcam, Intel’s new Core Ultra chips, and a Snapdragon X Elite chip. The Surface Laptop 6, meanwhile, could feature a big redesign, with slimmer bezels, the haptic touchpad from the Surface Laptop Studio, and improved connectivity. Release dates could be staggered, with Intel models coming first in April and other models a month later in the summer.
On the Windows side of things, it’s safe to assume that Copilot and AI will take a front seat for the announcements. With Intel’s Core Ultra chips shipping with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that uses AI for improved performance, Microsoft could talk about how Windows 11 will be able to further leverage the technology. A possible new “AI Explorer” feature is expected to be announced, as well as the incoming featured update for Windows 11, 24H2.
“AI Explorer” is pretty similar to the defunct Windows Timeline feature in Windows 10, in that it’s expected to help you jump back into your workflow with searchable moments. Enhancements for Copilot could also be on the menu, considering that Microsoft offers the Copilot for Microsoft 365 add-on.

What's happened? This week, China's Quality Certification Center released information about a battery (EB-BS04898ABY) with a maximum capacity of 4,855mAh. That's the same capacity as was previously seen in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and fans have taken this certification to mean the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not see a capacity increase after all.
The Samsung Galaxy Ultra models have had the same battery capacity for the last five years.
What's happened? Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, a budget-friendly alternative to the Galaxy Tab S10. The device has been rumored for months, but this is the first time Samsung has officially acknowledged its existence.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite will have a 10.9-inch display and a peak brightness of 600 nits — a bit on the lower side, versus the iPad Pro's maximum brightness of 1,600 nits.
