Microsoft Surface Pro rebooted: Faster, AI-ready, and now Qualcomm-powered

Microsoft unveiled the all-new Surface Pro, ditching numbers in favour of a fresh start. It's one of the first in a new generation of what Microsoft calls Copilot Plus PCs. This flagship device boasts the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors (Elite and Plus versions), promising a significant performance leap—up to 90% faster than its predecessor.

The Pro embraces the future with optional 5G connectivity and a long-lasting battery—up to 14 hours of video playback (though not quite reaching the Surface Laptop's 20 hours). It remains incredibly thin and light, maintaining its familiar size despite the internal overhaul.

There might be a black variant of the Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 & Surface Pro

It might be back to black for Microsoft, at least this is what the rumour mill suggests. German site Windows United and Thurrott report that a new black variant will be launched for both the Surface Laptop 2 and refreshed Surface Pro. These two devices are expected to make an appearance at Microsoft’s event in New York City on October 2nd. If rumours are correct, this will be the first modern Surface Pro with a new color across the entire device and not just the Type Cover. Microsoft has coloured the entire Surface Laptop but the latest Surface Pro has kept a silver body. Other features expected to show up in the new devices include these machines running on the latest Intel processors and a switch to USB-C.
