Microsoft updated the Surface Pro 13, Surface Laptop 13-inch, Surface Laptop 13.8-inch, and Surface Laptop 15-inch with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 chips. The Surface Laptop 13.8-inch and 15-inch gained new display options, including a privacy screen feature, and the 15-inch received a higher-resolution LCD panel with OLED versions expected later. Both models also added a new trackpad supporting Windows 11 haptic feedback for actions like snapping windows and aligning objects. The Surface Laptop 13-inch now includes an anti-reflective display and starts at a higher price, with a lower-cost configuration planned. Surface Pro 13 received only a modest chip upgrade and does not include the new trackpad. Prices start at $1,949 for business variants, with increases attributed to component costs.
"Starting with the most important updates - the Surface Laptop 13.8 and 15-inch. They now come with new display options, some of which include a privacy screen feature similar to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra's. The 15-inch model gets a higher resolution, but it's still LCD. OLED versions are expected to hit the market in the following months."
"Another notable upgrade to the 13.8-inch and 15-inch Surface Laptop models is the new trackpad. It now supports Windows 11's haptic feedback features. You get subtle feedback when interacting with certain UI elements on the screen, such as snapping an app window or aligning objects."
"The mid-range Surface Laptop 13-inch isn't left out. It's also shipping with the new Intel chips and is now offered with an anti-reflective display. This variant comes at a higher price of $1,499, but a lower-cost version with 8GB of RAM and without Copilot+ capabilities is in the pipeline. It will be priced at $1,299."
"The Surface Pro 13-inch, on the other hand, receives a modest spec bump with the new Core Ultra chips. That means you won't be getting the new touchpad that the Surface Laptops have now. The flagship Surface Pro and the Surface Laptops start at $1,949 with Intel Core Ultra 5 chips and 16GB RAM. Microsoft justifies the price hikes with rising component prices."
