Microsoft is reportedly working on a smaller Surface Pro with an 11-inch display and an arm-powered Surface Go 4 model. Windows Central reports that the smaller Surface Pro is codenamed Luxor and will be similar in size and shape to the Surface Go, a more budget 10.5-inch tablet designed to look like a smaller Surface Pro.
Currently, Microsoft only ships its Surface Pro 9 with a 13-inch screen in both Arm- and Intel-powered models. In keeping with the premium specs found on the current 13-inch model, the new 11-inch model will also include a 120Hz display.
A move to the Arm processor on the Surface Go 4 is also in the works. Codenamed Tanta, the Surface Go 4 ships with a chip based on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7c. Microsoft will reportedly stick with the Intel version of the Surface Go 4, but the Qualcomm-powered model may include 5G support for the first time.
However, it is not clear exactly when these two small tablets will appear. Windows Central claims it's unlikely they'll ship before the fall, so we might have to wait until early next year to see Microsoft's latest tiny Surface tablet. With both Intel and Microsoft hinting at an unannounced Windows 12 operating system, we could see a busy year for Surface hardware in 2024, especially if Microsoft wants to ship hardware with chips optimized to handle AI workloads that will “reinvent how you do Windows.” Do everything on
