The Verge will be covering Microsoft’s Windows event next month live from San Francisco on October 7th at 10AM PT / 1PM ET. Microsoft last held a major Windows event in May 2024, to unveil new Arm-based Copilot Plus PCs and its renewed partnership with Qualcomm. The last major Windows event before that was in June 2021, when Microsoft announced Windows 11 during a live stream. If that’s the case, don’t be surprised to hear more about the Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra pricing and availability.
