Interestingly, the new Surface device is expected to be powered by Windows Core OS and support Android apps and iCloud service. It looks like this decision never came all of a sudden. In fact, the tech giant has been working on it for months. A recently published patent helps us to better understand the folding Surface concept. Microsoft submitted the patent back in February. It came under the spotlight when WIPO published it on June 20, 2019. The Redmond giant specifically discussed the closing mechanism of the upcoming Surface tablet. The device features two 9-inch displays, both connected to each other. The details mentioned in the patent suggest that Microsoft plans to add a magnet in both the screens.

When the screens come closer to each other, these magnets will create a strong attraction. The attractive force of magnets helps to properly close the Surface device.

Don’t worry! The magnetic field is minimized

However, Microsoft understands that the magnetic field produced by the magnets can be damaging for electronic items. It can damage magnetic cards, credit cards etc. The patent suggests, Microsoft implemented an effective mechanism to minimise the magnetic field. Although the magnetic force minimization technique may not seem to be useful. However, it can really protect your electronic gadgets from any potential damages. If we look at the description, we can see that: The published patent is an indication that Microsoft is seriously working on the foldable laptop. The big M has yet to share the details regarding the internal structure of the upcoming device. We’ll keep you updated once more information is available on this matter.
