On Tuesday, October 6 at 10 AM EDT Microsoft is going to announce some new Windows 10 devices.



http://www.microsoft.com/october2015event

It is expected that Microsoft will introduce a new Surface Pro 4 (possibly in two different screen sizes: 12" and 14"), two flagship Windows 10 phones: Lumia 950 and 950 XL, a new version of Microsoft Band. We might also get some details about the upcoming Xbox One Windows 10 update and, who knows, perhaps even something about the HoloLens.

I am particularly interested in Surface Pro 4! I was about to buy Surface Pro 3, which fits my needs perfectly, but decided to hold off until the Pro 4. Hopefully the wait is now over!

Here are some details about what can be expected at the Event from Tom Warren at The Verge:

If the rumors about the bigger, thin-bezel display on Surface Pro 4 are true, I will be very happy!

Just got an email from Microsoft HoloLens reminding about the tomorrow's event. Interesting!
I guess I was right to expect some HoloLens news!

Stream was working great and then it started... now constant buffering.

Stream is working better now. So far nothing that impressive. Hololense looks cool but not practical for my 12 year old.

Too early for a 12-year old. Initially it's mostly for developers.

The guy giving the phone demos sounds like the guy selling the sham wow at the fair mixed with the American Dream Dusty Rose.

Interesting concept: GPU in the base.
