Microsoft has unveiled refreshed versions of its Surface Pro 12-inch and Surface Laptop 13-inch, now powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Plus chips. While the design remains unchanged, the new models feature enhanced battery life and performance, with starting prices significantly higher than their predecessors, reflecting a shift in RAM configurations.
Both devices will launch on October 13th, offering improved web browsing times—up to 13 hours for the Surface Pro and 18 hours for the Surface Laptop. They also support Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, maintaining similar port selections as before.
With the launch on October 13th, keep an eye on user reviews regarding battery performance and real-world usage of the Snapdragon X2 Plus chips. The absence of an 8GB model may impact entry-level buyers, while the return of the black color option could attract more consumers.
