"Due to recent increases in memory and component costs, Surface is updating pricing on Microsoft.com for its current‑generation hardware portfolio."
"The flagship 13-inch Surface Pro cost $1,000 in 2024 and now starts at $1,500, marking a $500 increase in just two years."

Microsoft has announced substantial price increases for its Surface product line, with the 15-inch Surface Laptop 7 now starting at $1,600, up from $1,300 at launch. The top-end model can reach $3,650. The Surface Pro line also sees increases, with the 12-inch model starting at $1,050 and the flagship 13-inch model at $1,500. These price hikes are attributed to rising memory and component costs driven by generative AI. Industry reports suggest that new pricing may remain if component costs do not decrease.
