Microsoft October eventsA number of news sources claim to know what Microsoft has in store for the event. For instance The Verge says the company will not only launch the Surface Pro 4, but also the Lumia 950/950 XL smartphones and even a Band wearable sequel.

Reportedly the Surface Pro 4 retains the same form factor and charging mechanism as the Pro 3, but might include features such as Windows Hello support and a higher display resolution. Other rumours suggest the possibility of a larger, 14-inch version of the device.

According to DigiTimes the Windows 10 tablet is powered by an Intel Skylake processor and carries a 256GB SSD.

Other event rumours involve the a Microsoft Bluetooth speaker system, further details on the HoloLens "nerd helmet," Windows 10 updates and the introduction of Windows 10 Core for the Xbox One games console.
