Closing out the 2023 Microsoft news cycle comes a report from the folks over at Windows Central which points to a continued AI-focused redesign of the Surface Pro and Laptop, along with significant physical upgrades as well.

According to author Zac Bowden, sources familiar with Surface development have talked about “improved designs, new features, and next-gen silicon in the form of Intel 14th-Gen and Qualcomm X Series chips.”

Specifically, Bowden shared the broad configuration options customers will have to choose from in 2024 which include either an Intel CPU or, for the first time ever, an ARM powered variant for the Surface Laptop.

Whether customers choose Intel or the ARM version (presumably powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon X-Series chips), both versions will make use of custom (Neural Processing Units) to much of the heavy artificial intelligent processing on the news devices.

As for the Pro, which had its most aggressive redesign since the Surface Pro 3 happen last year, the new Pro will see changes to its display in the form of a brighter panel, support for HDR content, and a new anti-reflective coating to cut down on screen glare. The Surface Pro 10 will also see its display gain rounded corners in its bezel profile, similar to that of the Surface Laptop Studio.
