Microsoft is all set to introduce the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 later this month, as reported by Windows Central’s Zac Bowden. These devices are said to be Microsoft’s first AI-powered PCs with support for special AI features arriving on Windows 11 later in the year. Let me tell you the features and launch date of the upcoming Microsoft Surface laptops.
The laptops are expected to be unveiled on March 21. The Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 will reportedly feature new Intel Core Ultra and Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processors. These chipsets could be equipped with next-gen NPUs to boost AI performance. What’s interesting is that both product lines will offer Intel or Arm variants for the first time.

The Surface Pro 10 is rumoured to have a similar design to its predecessor. It will feature an upgraded anti-reflective OLED screen with HDR support. Not just that, there could also be an improved ultrawide front-facing webcam powered by AI Studio Effects.
On the other hand, the Surface Laptop 6 is expected to have a sleeker design with thinner bezels, a new haptic touchpad, and an updated selection of ports, including USB-C and USB-A.
The Intel models are expected to be launched in April and the Arm variants in June. These laptops will be among the first to support upcoming AI features on Windows 11. These include features like on-device Copilot functionality, real-time live captions and translations, video game upscaling, enhanced Windows Studio Effects, and the innovative “AI Explorer” feature.

Now, the question is what “AI Explorer” is capable of. Well, it allows users to search for past conversations, documents, web pages, and images using natural language prompts. Additionally, AI Explorer can understand context, suggest tasks, and streamline workflows based on the user’s activities.
While the new AI features are set to debut with the Windows 11 version 24H2 update in the fall, it’s uncertain if Microsoft will delve into them during the March 21 event.
