  • Microsoft held its annual hardware launch event on Wednesday.
  • It introduced the Surface Pro 7 laptop/tablet hybrid and the Surface Laptop 3 - updates to existing devices.
  • Notably, though, Microsoft had more brand-new devices to discuss than it did of those widely-expected refreshes.
  • Microsoft also unveiled the super-slim Surface Pro X, the dual-screen Surface Neo, and the biggest surprise of all: An Android-powered smartphone with two screens called the Surface Duo. It also announced wireless earbuds called the Surface Earbuds.
  • That's four all-new devices announced, compared to the two more conventional refreshes.

Microsoft held its big Surface event on Wednesday, where the company announced its brand new lineup of laptops and other hardware for the coming year and beyond.

At the event, we got a look at the new Surface Pro 7 and Surface Laptop 3 - devices that are more-or-less simple refreshes over their predecessors, save for a few interesting new tidbits. The new Surface Pro 7, for instance, finally adds a USB-C port.

However, Microsoft also introduced brand new, never-seen-before devices that blur the lines between tablets and laptops, including the Surface Pro X and the Surface Neo. The company even announced an Android-powered phone called the Surface Duo, as well as the wireless Surface Earbuds.
