Rumored to be released in 2025 according to leaks back in 2024{{Cite news |last=Anderson |first=Alex |date=22 October 2024 |title=Microsoft Surface Laptop 8 ans Surface Pro 12 detailed in new leaks |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Microsoft-Surface-Laptop-8-and-Surface-Pro-12-detailed-in-new-leaks.905360.0.html |work=Notebook Check}}, this release marks a refresh to the existing Surface Pro 11. With the emphasis on portabilty and performace, this release is focused on offering the same look and feel of the Surface Pro, but at a slightly smaller 12" screen size. Designed to compete better with Apple's 11-inch [[iPad Pro (M4)]]. Due to the lack of releases for the Surface Go line, reviewers suspect that this smaller Surface Pro is what Microsoft intends to replace that line. |
