According to a Microsoft leak as reported by Windows Central, 2025 could be an exciting year for the Microsoft Surface device family, with reported new versions of the Surface Pro, Surface Laptop, and Surface Laptop Studio.
With Surface devices being popular with both businesses and home users, we thought it would be a good idea to look at what’s rumoured to be coming up to help you make decisions on whether it’s worth buying devices now, or waiting until new features are available.
What’s going to be new?
- New Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models with Copilot+ PC branding
- Intel Lunar Lake CPUs
- Potentially anti-reflective coating brought to Intel Lunar Lake models
- Rumours of a new 11” Surface device
Copilot + PC
Hailed as a ‘new era’ of Windows, Copilot+ PC devices are Windows 11 devices that are powered by specialised computer chips known as NPUs (neural processing unit) that are powerful enough to perform AI-intensive processes like image generation and real-time translation. According to Microsoft they can power 40 trillion operations per second – that’s quite a few!
This will make it much easier to utilise Copilot, Microsoft’s flagship AI assistant, to its full potential.
Intel Lunar Lake
Intel Lunar Lake processors are designed to improve power efficiency, integrated graphics, and battery life of ultra-thin laptop and mobile devices that use it. It’s also supposed to hold up AI performance – important in devices designed to have heavily used AI features!
It’s likely that the Surface Laptop with Intel Lunar Lake will have the same design as the existing Surface Laptop 7 with Snapdragon X, given that it only recently received a suave new look.
When will there be a new Microsoft surface?
According to the leak, the reported devices could be starting to ship as early as March 2025 – a spring treat! This also means if you’re thinking of updating your surface device but the potential new features intrigue you and you can see yourself integrating the features of Copilot into your daily use, there’s not toooo long for you to wait!
So, which Microsoft Surface Laptop is best for business?
That entirely depends what you’re looking to use it for. In March 2024, Microsoft launched it’s first ever Surface PCs geared towards commercial use, with the Surface Pro 10 and the Surface Laptop 6. With the planned upgrades, if you can see the incredible features of Copilot really making a difference to your business life, it’s worth waiting to see what the Copilot+ versions are going to look and function like in 2025.
