According to Windows Central, Microsoft is about to release new smaller versions of the Surface Pro 2-in-1 and Surface Laptop “in the coming weeks.” These new versions will remain premium products, with 11-inch or 12-inch screens and more lightweight designs.

Earlier this year, Qualcomm announced Snapdragon X: a new lower-end CPU for budget laptops. Now, Microsoft is tipped to equip both the new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models with Snapdragon X or Snapdragon X Plus.

Microsoft is set to release affordable Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models under $1,000, bringing premium design and performance to a broader audience.

Microsoft may be getting ready to launch smaller Qualcomm-powered versions of its most popular Surface devices, the Surface Pro and Surface Laptop.

It's fully loaded with a 12-core Snapdragon X Elite processor, 1TB of storage, Windows 11, and Copilot+ for just $1,240.

Smaller, cheaper 11-inch versions of the Surface Laptop and Surface Pro are reportedly on their way. Powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Plus chips, they will still be premium, metal-clad devices, it is claimed.

Microsoft has been working on a smaller Surface Pro for a while, and it seems to finally be happening in the coming weeks.
