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.
