Microsoft's rumored dual-display Surface could emulate Android apps, which isn't a bad idea
(PCWorld)

A new report from IHS Markit suggests that Microsoft may build Android emulation into future Surface devices, specifically the rumored `Centaurus` dual-screen PC said to launch early next year.IHS Markit told Forbes that the dual-screen device, with two 9-inch displays, would be powered by Intel`s 10nm `Lakefield` system-on-a-chip. Microsoft´s new Windows Core OS (WCOS) will serve as the operating system, IHS added. (Microsoft hasn`t confirmed that it`s necessarily working on a future successor to Windows, but we know that devices like the Surface Hub 2 will include new `experiences,` said to be WCOS.) IHS also aid that the device would include 5G WWAN connectivity. While that itself would not be surprising, Microsoft has yet to design a Surface that has made LTE or 5G connectivity part of the base platform.To read this article in full, please click here
