Microsoft announced the Surface Pro 12-inch and Surface Laptop 13-inch with Snapdragon X2 Plus at the Snapdragon Summit, citing up to 95% faster on-device AI and 18% better battery efficiency. The devices maintain prior form factors while adding features such as Ink Canvas and a recycled-content enclosure, with the Pro model priced from $1149.99 and shipping October 13.
The new Microsoft Ink Canvas experience allows sketching, annotating, generating images, and summarizing text directly on the canvas using the Slim Pen.
The thin, light, fanless model targets users who need reliable performance across extended sessions such as managing multiple tabs, running calls, and rendering tasks without increased heat or noise.
