Microsoft has already scheduled a “major” Surface for Business event next week. There, we’re anticipating variants of the current Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11 CoPilot Plus PCs that have Intel’s Lunar Lake chips inside and are aimed at business customers.

Earlier this year, Qualcomm announced Snapdragon X: a new lower-end CPU for budget laptops. Now, Microsoft is tipped to equip both the new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models with Snapdragon X or Snapdragon X Plus.

It's fully loaded with a 12-core Snapdragon X Elite processor, 1TB of storage, Windows 11, and Copilot+ for just $1,240.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 11 is a tablet/laptop hybrid that makes it one of the best options for college students. You can get this 2024 version starting at $799.99 (originally $999.99).

According to Windows Central, Microsoft is about to release new smaller versions of the Surface Pro 2-in-1 and Surface Laptop “in the coming weeks.” These new versions will remain premium products, with 11-inch or 12-inch screens and more lightweight designs.

We've seen multiple new Surface devices launch in the last year, and apparently Microsoft has at least two more on the way in the next couple of months.

Microsoft is set to release affordable Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models under $1,000, bringing premium design and performance to a broader audience.
