Microsoft Surface Laptop and Surface Pro tablet with Intel Lunar Lake could launch in 2025

by · Liliputing

The Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 that launched earlier this year is available with a choice of 13.8 inch or 15 inch displays and comes with up to 64GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. But so far it’s only available with Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus or Snapdragon X Elite processors. And the Surface Pro 11 is a 13 inch tablet that coms with a choice of LCD or OLED display options, but which is also only available with Qualcomm processors.

Soon you may be able to buy models with Intel Lunar Lakes chip… although it’s unclear if the new model will be sold as a variants of the Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11 or if these will be entirely new products.

While Microsoft hasn’t officially announced plans for any new Surface devices, details have started showing up in online benchmark results and on Chinese retail sites. Folks at the Chiphell forum and tech news websites including WinFuture and Windows Central have rounded up some of the details.

I’d take everything with a grain of salt for now, but it looks like Microsoft could be planning to release models with at least three different process options:

Thanks to at least one retail listing (which has since been removed), we also have a few pictures that allegedly show the next-gen Surface Laptop with an Intel Lunar Lake processor, including the image shown above. You can find more at Windows Central.
