Microsoft has finally updated its Surface Laptop and Surface Pro 2-in-1. The refreshed Surface Laptop 11 is now powered by Intel's Lunar Lake chips, up to the Core Ultra 7 268V with 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory and the Arc 140V iGPU. The laptop continues to be available in 13.8-inch and 15-inch sizes, with hardly any updates to the exterior compared to the Arm-powered variants we witnessed last year. Interestingly, the laptop will now feature support for 5G connectivity, which is a welcome upgrade for those frequently on the go.

The Surface Pro 7 also received an update, boasting up to the Core Ultra 7 268V with 32 GB of memory and NFC support. Like the Surface Laptop, the Surface Pro 2-in-1 misses out on the Core Ultra 9 chip, although it does feature the option for an OLED display, which the Surface Laptop does not, for whatever reason. Both the Surface Laptop and Surface Pro get 120 Hz displays, although the Surface Pro enjoys a higher pixel density. Microsoft claims 10 hours of web surfing for the Surface Pro, and 12/14 hours for the 13.8/15-inch Surface Laptop. Both the devices start at $1,499 for the base variants, with shipping scheduled to start from the 18th of February.

Given poor repairabilty with questionable built quality and lack of AMD based options going to be a hard pass on Surface devices.

Huh? Surface laptop has one of the highest repairability scores out there, what are you talking about?

 
Having the 258V and 268V in a Surface Pro is a significant improvement from the previous-gen i7-1280p and current Ultra 7 165U and Snapdragon X CPUs.
 
I might pick one up

Not to mention that for corporate devices AMD is a non fucking starter for multiple reasons at multiple levels unless you are talking about server racks.
