According to a recent report by Windows Central, Microsoft is planning to launch its most advanced Surface devices in 2023. The Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 are expected to have next-generation Neural Processing Units (NPU) to support new AI features included in Windows.

To keep pace with Apple’s rapid advances in silicon for Macs, Microsoft plans to offer the new Surfaces with both Intel and ARM-based chip options. The ARM variants, code-named CADMUS, will run on Qualcomm‘s latest Snapdragon processors and fully take advantage of integrated AI acceleration in Windows. Early benchmarks suggest CADMUS-powered devices could match Apple’s industry-leading performance and efficiency.

Both the Surface Pro 10 and Laptop 6 aim to push boundaries beyond raw compute speeds. The Surface Pro 10 is tipped to have a brighter, higher-resolution display with HDR support in up to 2880 x 1920 pixels. Its display may also sport rounded corners akin to the Surface Laptop Studio and come with an anti-glare coating for improved visibility. A new Type Cover is also in the works with a dedicated button for quickly launching Windows Copilot, Microsoft’s AI assistant technology.

The Surface Laptop 6 will retain its 13.5-inch and 15-inch variants but with thinner bezels all around for more immersive viewing. Other potential upgrades include more I/O ports like dual USB-C and a haptic touchpad for tactile feedback when typing. It too will sport a Copilot button to complement the AI under the hood.

Industry watchers speculate even more radical Surface form factors in 2025 and beyond as Microsoft leans into AI for both software and hardware. For now, the Surface Pro 10 and Laptop 6 look to balance portability with serious AI capabilities in sleek, premium packages when they launch next year. The new Surfaces may well set the bar for AI-enabled consumer PCs going forward.
