Microsoft‘s upcoming Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 are getting a big upgrade in their displays and are set to launch this month. The information comes from a report by Windows Central, which revealed that both devices will switch to OLED panels and could possibly launch on March 21st.
Microsoft’s upcoming Surface devices will have OLED display
OLED screens are becoming more pervasive in the premium laptop market as they deliver deeper blacks, vibrant colors, and superior contrast. Microsoft is among the few manufacturers that have not yet adopted OLED technology for its laptops.
However, that seems to be changing with the upcoming Surface laptops. And thanks to the introduction of OLED panels, both new Surface models are also expected to support HDR content.
Additionally, the report says both the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 will reportedly be available in both Intel- and Qualcomm-powered versions.
The Intel models are likely to feature the newest Intel Core Ultra processors, with an emphasis on AI capabilities, launching in April. Meanwhile, the Arm-based versions will likely utilize the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite chip, with an expected release window in June.
Visually, the Surface Pro 10 is said to largely retain the design of the Surface Pro 9, with some notable additions. This includes an upgraded wide-angle webcam featuring Studio Effects and an integrated NFX reader.
The Surface Laptop 6 is rumored to receive a more substantial redesign with smaller display bezels and rounded corners, taking inspiration from the existing Surface Laptop Studio line.
It’s also expected to feature a new haptic touchpad and expanded port selection, including two USB-C connections, a USB Type-A port, Surface Connect, and a dedicated Copilot key integrated into the keyboard.
Windows “AI Explorer”
Besides the upgrades coming to Surface laptops, the report also mentions a new feature coming with the 2024 Windows 11 update called “AI Explorer.”
It’s said to be an enhanced version of Copilot and will create a timeline of user activity on the computer. AI Explorer’s goal is to make every computer interaction searchable using natural language. It’s intended to understand even vague requests and could prove to be a valuable tool for users.
AI Explorer will also offer contextual assistance. For instance, when viewing an image, it may suggest an option to edit that photo. Users could then issue simple commands for specific edits, such as removing a background.
Upcoming devices like the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 will likely be the first ones to take benefit of this feature.
