Microsoft Hosting A Surface Event In Shanghai On May 23rd

Microsoft has sent out invites for an event in Shanghai on May 23rd, where it will "show the world what's next." How cryptic, though a tweet from Microsoft's Surface head, Panos Panay, might have spoiled the surprise a bit. We might finally see a follow-up to the Surface Pro 4, as the laptop-tablet hybrid hasn’t seen an update since 2015. Thoughts ?

See you in Shanghai. May 23. #MicrosoftEvent #Surface https://t.co/aMgvkkqE52 pic.twitter.com/vzcK9MqIpf
