Get ready for smarter Surface devices: Microsoft is prepping its popular line with next-generation AI features, slated for release next year. Here's a sneak peek at what to expect.
Microsoft's AI push extends beyond software - it's embedding dedicated hardware for smoother, faster AI experiences. The upcoming Surface Pro 10 and Laptop 6 will house an NPU alongside Intel and Arm-based CPU options. Arm devices, codenamed CADMUS, will run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon X chips, aiming for Apple silicon-level performance, battery life, and security, all optimized for Windows' future AI features.
The Surface Pro 10's visual upgrades are equally impressive. A brighter HDR display with an anti-glare coating and high-resolution choices cater to diverse user needs. Rumors hint at rounded corners, echoing the Surface Laptop Studio's sleek design, and a new Type Cover sporting a dedicated Windows Copilot button for instant access to your AI assistant.
The Surface Laptop 6 also receives a size bump, with the smaller model gaining a 13.8-inch display (up from 13.5-inch). Both models flaunt a stylish rounded display with thinner bezels, potentially housing a haptic touchpad and a Windows Copilot keyboard button. Connectivity receives an upgrade too, with the rumored inclusion of two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, and the signature Surface Connect charging port.
While these Surface upgrades are slated for 2024, Microsoft might have even bigger plans for 2025. Whispers suggest a major Surface Pro design overhaul alongside a refreshed Surface Laptop Studio. Exciting times lie ahead for Surface fans!
