We're mere days away from Microsoft's October 2 Surface event, but a new report has surfaced alleging to have details on the designs of two of the devices Microsoft plans to show off. French blog Frandroid alleges to have seen images of the Surface Pro 7 and Surface Laptop 3, both of which are largely expected to debut at the event. In an effort to protect its source, Frandroid explains, it hasn't published the images themselves, but the site has described some big changes reportedly coming to both lines.

The device that appears to be in for the most change is the upcoming Surface Pro 7. According to Frandroid, a version of the Surface Pro 7 will see a "drastically" modernized design, featuring a nearly borderless display. The report likens the look of the display to the latest iPad Pro, though it notes the bezels on the top and bottom are a little wider than those on the sides in order to accommodate the camera and magnet.

This model will also drop USB Type-A and the MiniDisplayPort in favor of USB-C, according to the report. It will also likely come with LTE connectivity and may be the ARM version of the Surface Pro that has been rumored in recent months.

While Microsoft is said to be planning a major redesign of the Surface Pro 7, the report goes on to say that other, more traditional models that carry forward the previous generation's design will also be available. The main change here is that these models will include a USB-C port in place of the MiniDisplayPort, through USB Type-A remains as well. This version is also said to pack Intel processors; likely the company's latest 10th Gen chips.

Lastly, the report notes that the model with the new design may end up being known as simply "Surface 7" while the Intel models will continue forward the "Surface Pro 7" moniker. The codenames for the devices are reported to be "Campus" and "Harper" respectively, two names that were recently dug up by Microsoft watcher WalkingCat on Twitter.
