As the clock ticks down to the end of support for Windows 10, set for October 14, 2025, users of this aging operating system are increasingly aware of the vulnerabilities that lie ahead. With no free support on the horizon, older PCs that cannot transition to Windows 11 will face heightened risks from cyber threats and software bugs. In response, Microsoft has been encouraging users to embrace the future, and today, the tech giant has unveiled two new devices designed to facilitate that transition.
Introducing the Latest Surface Devices
The newly launched Surface Pro and Surface Laptop are now available, equipped with cutting-edge features that promise to enhance user experience. Both devices boast speedy Snapdragon processors, advanced AI capabilities, and impressive battery life, ensuring that users can remain productive even during the longest journeys.
Microsoft emphasizes the importance of upgrading, stating, “With Windows 10 reaching the end of support on Oct. 14, 2025, the Surface Pro, 12-inch, and Surface Laptop, 13-inch are great options to ensure you have a modern, secure, and efficient computing experience.” Starting at a competitive price of £799, these devices present an attractive opportunity for those looking to modernize their technology.
The Surface Pro features a versatile 12-inch screen and retains its popular 2-in-1 form factor, allowing users to seamlessly switch between tablet and laptop modes. Accompanied by a stylus for easy note-taking, it is powered by the latest Snapdragon X Plus processor. Additionally, a new keyboard—available at an extra cost—attaches effortlessly, providing a flat surface for a quiet typing experience. The device also includes a smooth-matte palm rest for comfort, a full-size backlit keyset, and a customizable precision touchpad with adaptive touch mode.
For those preferring a more traditional laptop experience, the refreshed Surface Laptop offers a thinner and lighter design, making it even more portable. This model features a 13-inch screen and boasts an impressive 23-hour battery life, powered by the Snapdragon X Plus processor, which Microsoft claims outperforms last year’s MacBook Air M3.
Both devices come equipped with access to Copilot+ PC experiences, including features like Recall, Improved Windows Search, and Click to Do, which allows users to identify text and images on their screens effortlessly.
Microsoft has confirmed that the new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop are now available for purchase directly from its store, enabling users to upgrade their devices without delay. “Last May, we introduced a new category of devices — Copilot+ PCs, the fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever, with our flagship Surface Laptop and Surface Pro representing the ultimate Copilot+ PCs from Microsoft,” the company stated. “Copilot+ PCs are lightning fast, responsive devices with long battery life, built to be secure by design and by default, and unlock exclusive AI experiences, running locally thanks to the Neural Processing Unit in their advanced processors. Today, we are proud to introduce two new Surface Copilot+ PCs. You now have more options to choose the right Surface Copilot+ PC to fit your needs.”
