Microsoft showed off the Surface Laptop 5, Surface Pro 9, Surface Studio 2+, and two Surface devices at its fall event last year.

This year, the leader in AI will probably do a lot of the same things and release a few new Surface products.

There are a lot of two-in-one models, computers, and accessories, as well as a lot of AI-powered services and features.

Unlike Apple's launch event last week, Microsoft's events won't be live-streamed so that anyone can watch.
