Earlier this month there were rumors that the Surface Book 2 could launch in Q2 2017 and now a report from ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley seems to have confirmed that. Foley has had a pretty good track record with Microsoft-related rumors and insider information, so it stands to believe that her report might have some truth to the claims.
According to Foley, “Last I heard, this fall rollout might feature minor refreshes of some of the company’s existing Surface tablets with newer, faster, processors and possibly a couple other minor feature updates. But new devices like the expected Surface Book 2 and Surface Pro 5 aren’t likely to get their big reveals until spring 2017.”
Last we heard, Microsoft’s decision to revamp the design of the Surface Book 2 is the reason behind the delay. Her report also seemed to suggest that the Surface Phone might only see a late 2017 launch, if at all. In any case take it with a grain of salt, but we guess you shouldn’t hold your breath.
