Microsoft's entry-level Surface Pro and Laptop get thinner designs and longer battery life


The company's latest Surface devices are entry-level options designed to take on the MacBook Air

The new PCs are minor refreshes to Microsoft’s hardware offerings, giving customers accessible options if they want a Windows 11-powered alternative to the MacBook Air.
