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.

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 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.

Microsoft may be getting ready to launch smaller Qualcomm-powered versions of its most popular Surface devices, the Surface Pro and Surface Laptop.

Smaller, cheaper 11-inch versions of the Surface Laptop and Surface Pro are reportedly on their way. Powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Plus chips, they will still be premium, metal-clad devices, it is claimed.

Now’s your chance to save big bucks on the Microsoft Surface Pro 13 with this deal over at Amazon. This is the 2024 model of the device and it usually retails for $999.99. However, Amazon currently has it on sale for $200 off.

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.
