Smaller Microsoft Surface Laptop and Surface Pro variants with Qualcomm Snapdragon X-series chips are rumored for launch as early as spring 2025.
It’s been less than a year since Microsoft launched its first Qualcomm Snapdragon X-powered Surface devices, and now a new rumor says followups could debut as soon as this spring. A report from Windows Central updates rumors that have circled since 2023, citing sources who say that new versions of the Surface Laptop and Surface Pro 2-in-1 are in the works, with 11- to 12-inch size screens, Windows on Arm, and lighter but still “premium” designs.
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. According to Windows Central, it’s unclear where these smaller devices might launch, but they will have cheaper chipsets, like the Snapdragon X Plus or possibly the Snapdragon X that launched earlier this month at CES, to keep prices in the $800 - $900 range. When Microsoft last updated its Surface Laptop Go lineup with a third-generation in 2023, we thought it no longer made sense at the asking price, but the battery life and performance supported by Qualcomm’s hardware might change things for a new replacement. The smaller Surface Pro is described as a competitor for Apple’s 11-inch iPad Pro. However, Windows Central reports it’s unclear if it is positioned to replace the old Surface Go series, which was last updated with the business-focused Surface Go 4.
