Microsoft is preparing for a major Surface announcement later this month. The software giant has started teasing a major announcement from Surface for Business this week in a LinkedIn post spotted by Windows Central. The announcement will be made during Microsofts AI tour in New York City on January 30th.Microsoft is rumored to be launching Intel-powered variants of its Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11 devices soon, and a prototype of a Surface Laptop 7 with Intels Lunar Lake chips appeared on a Chinese second-hand marketplace in October. Its likely that Microsoft will announce Lunar Lake versions of the Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11 that are designed for businesses.TheSurface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6both shipped with Intels Meteor Lake processors earlier in 2024, before Microsoft went on to launch refreshed Surface Copilot Plus devices with new designs and Qualcomm chips. The Surface Laptop Studio is also due for an upgrade from the current models 13th Gen Intel chips, but thats less of a business-focused device so its unlikely to be part of this event. There are also rumors of an 11-inch Surface Go / Surface Laptop Go hybrid device powered by a Snapdragon X Plus processor, but again thats unlikely to be targeted to businesses.Well be following Microsofts AI tour live later this month, so stay tuned for details on the Surface major announcement.
