Microsoft has announced its new lineup of Surface laptops for business customers, introducing the Surface Pro 13-inch, Surface Laptop 13-inch, Surface Laptop 13.8-inch, and Surface Laptop 15-inch. The company said that the new devices are designed to deliver improved AI performance, productivity, and security features for enterprise users.
The new Surface devices are powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors and are designed to deliver faster AI-assisted workflows through integrated NPUs, capable of handling Copilot + PC experiences locally on the device. Microsoft said the lineup focuses on performance upgrades with workplace oriented AI features, security and productivity features aimed at enterprise users.
Among the major hardware upgrades is the addition of optional OLED display variants on select Surface Pro models.

With up to 23 hours of battery life, the company claims the Surface Laptops provide the performance and mobility professionals need to stay productive across offices, client sites and everywhere in between.
