Microsoft Allegedly Expanding Surface Pro Lineup with New 11-inch Model
Microsoft is reportedly planning to release a new 11-inch Surface Pro tablet later this year, expanding its Windows tablet lineup with a smaller, yet high-performance configuration.
New 11-inch Surface Pro Model
According to Windows Central, the upcoming 11-inch Surface Pro, codenamed “Luxor,” will be similar to its 13-inch sibling in terms of performance. It will also offer a flagship display with a 120Hz refresh rate, akin to the 13-inch model.
Expanding Surface Pro Family with Smaller Configuration
The addition of the 11-inch Surface Pro model will provide customers with a more diverse range of screen sizes and performance options. This move seems to be influenced by Apple’s iPad Pro lineup, which offers both 11 and 13-inch variants.
Touch-Focused Optimizations
As Microsoft develops the new Surface Pro model, the company is also working on improving its touch-centric user experience for small devices. Microsoft is planning to make File Explorer more touch-friendly and enhance the lock screen/desktop experience on tablets with various display sizes.
Surface Pro Screen Size Expansion: More Options for Users
The introduction of the 11-inch Surface Pro model will provide users with more options in terms of screen size and performance within Microsoft’s tablet lineup. Pricing for the new tablet has not been revealed, but the current Surface Pro 9 starts at $1000. The launch of the 11-inch Surface Pro is expected to attract users who prefer a smaller form factor without compromising on performance.
