Overview
- Microsoft refreshed the Surface Pro 13 and Surface Laptop 13.8/15 with Qualcomm's second‑generation Snapdragon X2 chips offered in 10‑core (X2 Plus) and 12‑core (X2 Elite) variants while excluding the 18‑core X2 top model.
- New configurations carry markedly high prices that start around €1,600–€1,700 for base X2 models and climb into the thousands for OLED, higher RAM and larger SSD builds.
- Accessories and essentials such as power adapters, the Slim Pen and keyboard covers are sold separately at set prices which raises the true cost for consumers.
- Lower-cost Surface Pro 12 and Surface Laptop 13 remain on the first‑generation Snapdragon X, and Microsoft continues to offer Intel‑based variants for business customers.
- Microsoft preinstalls Affinity and enables Windows 11 haptic features on the updated devices, and it says a pro‑oriented Surface Laptop Ultra using Nvidia's N1X ARM processor will arrive in the autumn.
