Overview
- Microsoft, which announced the refreshed lineup Tuesday, began shipping Intel Core Ultra Series 3 Surface Pro 12 and Surface Laptop 8 models to business customers in select markets.
- The devices add a 50‑TOPS NPU, a chip that runs AI tasks on the PC, plus an optional OLED display on Surface Pro, a sharper 15‑inch Laptop panel, and new haptic feedback for the touchpad and Slim Pen.
- Select 13.8‑inch Surface Laptop configurations include a built‑in privacy screen that narrows side viewing, and the range is tuned for IT with enterprise management and security features.
- Prices start at $1,949.99 for Surface Pro 12 and the 13.8‑inch Laptop 8 with 16GB of memory, $1,499 for the 13‑inch Laptop, and a $1,299 8GB 13‑inch model due later will not support Copilot+ features.
- Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 versions are planned later this year, as Microsoft points to component pressures and IDC projects an 11.3% drop in 2026 PC shipments that could shape demand and pricing.
