Surface Pro 12: Microsoft prepares Intel Lunar Lake Copilot PC with Windows 11

Microsoft is developing a new iteration of its Surface Pro line, tentatively named the Surface Pro 12 or Surface Pro 2025, featuring Intel's Lunar Lake processors. A source has confirmed the development of a Surface Pro 2025 model with Intel Lunar Lake technology. The device is being tested with a 120Hz OLED display, a haptic touchpad, and Wi-Fi 7 capabilities. It will offer configurations with Core Ultra 5 226V, Core Ultra 7 266V, and Core Ultra 7 268V processors, and users can choose between 16GB and 32GB RAM, excluding an 8GB option. Additionally, Microsoft is refreshing the Surface Laptop with the Intel Lunar Lake processors, specifically the Surface Laptop 8, which is expected to be priced around ,600 and maintain a design similar to the Surface Laptop 7. The rollout of these Surface upgrades is anticipated in early 2024.

Windows 11 AI features are coming to Intel PCs this November – gHacks Tech News

The 2024 feature update for Windows 11 is currently available for ARM-based Copilot+ PCs, with no clear timeline for broader access. Intel will launch its Lunar Lake processors in October 2024, promising improved performance, power efficiency, and graphics capabilities, while maintaining application compatibility and enhancing security and AI computing power. Intel's Core Ultra 200V series processors will support Copilot+ PC features, with a free update expected in November. Two potential timelines for the Windows 11 feature update include a late September optional release or a late October release with wider availability in November. Intel's processors will officially launch on September 24, 2024, with over 20 manufacturers preparing compatible devices. Key features of the new processors include enhanced performance in ultra-thin designs, extended battery life, integrated security, built-in Intel Arc graphics, rapid connectivity through Wi-Fi 7, support for multiple monitor connections, instant wake capabilities, and sustainability certification. Benchmarks for these processors are anticipated in September, while AMD has not yet announced a launch date for its Strix Point processors.

Controversial Windows Recall feature will be uninstallable, or so it seems

The latest optional update for Windows 11 allows users to uninstall Windows Recall, an AI-driven feature designed to enhance productivity by taking snapshots of screen activity. This decision follows privacy and security concerns regarding the unencrypted storage of captured data, leading Microsoft to delay its launch and plan testing with Windows Insiders in October 2024. The uninstallation option was included in update KB5041865, potentially region-specific, particularly in the European Union. Windows Recall will only be available on Copilot+ PCs, which must meet specific hardware requirements, currently limited to devices powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Series processors, with future compatibility expected for AMD's Ryzen AI 300 chips and Intel's Lunar Lake processors.
