Microsoft’s New Surface Devices: iPad Pro Rivals with Windows on Arm Coming This Spring
Staff Editor Microsoft Rumored to Unveil New Surface Devices This Spring
Tech giant Microsoft is reportedly gearing up to release new Surface devices, potentially as early as this spring. Industry insiders suggest that updated versions of the popular Surface Laptop and Surface Pro 2-in-1 could be among the new offerings.
The rumored devices are expected to feature 11- to 12-inch screens, run on Windows on Arm, and boast lightweight, premium designs. With a scheduled Surface for Business event next week, speculation is mounting that Microsoft may use this platform to unveil its latest innovations.
Sources familiar with the matter indicate that the new Surface devices may incorporate more affordable chipsets, such as the Snapdragon X Plus or Snapdragon X. These devices are anticipated to be priced competitively, with estimates ranging between $800 and $900.
The smaller Surface Pro is being viewed as a potential rival to Apple’s 11-inch iPad Pro, signaling Microsoft’s intent to capture a larger share of the compact, high-performance tablet market.
In addition to hardware updates, the new Surface Laptop Go 3 is rumored to offer enhanced battery life and performance, leveraging Qualcomm hardware. However, it remains unclear whether the new smaller Surface Pro will replace or complement the existing Surface Go series, which saw its last update with the business-focused Surface Go 4.
The upcoming Surface for Business event is expected to showcase variants of the Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11 CoPilot Plus PCs, featuring Intel’s Lunar Lake chips. These business-oriented models underscore Microsoft’s continued focus on enterprise customers.
As the tech community eagerly awaits official announcements, these rumored developments suggest Microsoft’s commitment to evolving its Surface line to meet the changing needs of both consumer and business users in an increasingly competitive market.
