Microsoft surged to financial success more than two decades ago with the power of the "Wintel duopoly," the combination of its Windows software and Intel's processors. More conventional new products included the Surface Laptop 3, Surface Pro X and Surface Pro 7 tablets, and the kooky Surface Earbuds. The event also saw the launch of the Surface Neo dual-screen tablet and Surface Duo dual-screen Android phone, and Windows 10 X software for dual-screen devices. And it's not just any Arm chip, but Microsoft's own SQ1 design that the company engineered in partnership with Qualcomm. With its newest Surface devices unveiled at its Surface event in New York Wednesday, Microsoft has returned to the Arm chip family for power-sipping laptops.
