However, Microsoft also announced a few products that will be available as early as this month - the Surface Laptop 3, Surface Pro 7 and Surface Pro X.

Both the displays offer a 3:2 aspect ratio PixelSense touchscreen.
One of the more noticeable changes to the design of the Surface Laptop 3 is the inclusion of a Type-C port that can be used to charge the laptop and transfer data. The Laptop 3 also gets a USB-A port, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a Surface Connector. Microsoft promises an all-day battery life and fast charging over Type-C.
The Surface Laptop 3 13.5-inch model starts at USD 999 (approx Rs 71,000), while the 15-inch variant will begin at USD 1,199 (approx Rs 85,400). Both models are available for preorders in the US and will ship on October 22.
Surface Pro 7
The new Surface Pro 7 is a 2-in-1 PC that also gets a Type-C port now. The design remains similar to its predecessor, but Microsoft has upgraded the internals.
So, the Pro 7 now comes with Intel's newest 10th Gen mobile processor that comes in Core i3, i5 and i7 configurations with prices starting at USD 749 (approx Rs 53,000).
The Surface Pro 7 retains the 12.3-inch display as the Surface Pro 6 and will be offered in black and silver colour options. The Pro 7 will support the Surface Type Keyboard and Surface Pen as accessories.The Surface Pro 7 will also go on sale starting October 22.
Surface Pro X
The Surface Pro X is similar to the Surface Pro 7 in that it is a tablet that comes with a detachable keyboard. Unlike the Pro 7 that is powered by an Intel processor, the Surface Pro X runs on a Qualcomm chipset, called Surface Q1. It sports a 13-inch display with slim bezels and a weight that's under 800 grams. The Pro X also gets a Type-C port and support for a stylus. The Surface Pro X starts at USD 999 (approx Rs 71,000) and will be available from November 5.
