This trend will likely continue next year, with Microsoft consolidating much of the Surface portfolio under the Copilot Plus PC umbrella. According to the source, in 2025 the company plans to release new versions of Surface Pro, Surface Laptop, Surface Laptop Studio.

Information about the new Surface laptop with a Lunar Lake chip has already appeared in the media, and it is known that the design of the device will be identical to the appearance of the already released Surface Laptop 7 based on the Snapdragon X chip.

The timing of the launch of new products also remains a mystery. Microsoft may release the new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop in the first quarter of 2025, but other devices will arrive later. As always, surprises are possible, implying an unexpected presentation of hardware new products from Microsoft.
