Microsoft has sent out a press invite for a Microsoft event on October 2nd, in NYC. While the invite does not reveal much about the event, it is expected that new hardware will be announced.

What is on the agenda? Look for a refreshed Surface lineup to be shown off and the company may include the “Teams for Life” as well. While we don’t have to wait too much longer to find out, this invite did go out well-ahead of the usual two-week pre-event mark that the company had previously used for shipping invites.

The event is about five weeks out and between now and then, IFA will be held which will give us a solid look at what many other vendors will be shipping for the holiday shopping season. In October, Microsoft will pull back the curtains on its refresh for what they hope will spur holiday retail sales.
