Microsoft has started sending out invites for a 'special event' in New York, United States, scheduled for September 21.
The Redmond technology giant hasn't shared any details on the event yet, but this could be the company's big hardware event where they share news on new Surface devices and other gadgets.

Rumors online suggest that Microsoft could introduce a variant of the Surface laptop with 64GB RAM. The Surface Studio 2 will likely be updated to use the new Intel processors and Nvidia's RTX 40-series mobile GPUs. There are also rumours that Microsoft may show off AMD variants of the Surface laptops.
Given the company's recent history with Artificial Intelligence (AI), it wouldn't be wild to expect more AI-related announcements. Microsoft has already been testing the AI-based Co-pilot with Windows 11 Insiders in Beta.
In other news, Microsoft will shut down the Xbox 360 online marketplace next year.
