Microsoft reportedly launching smaller 12.5-inch Surface Laptop for the holidays – The Verge

Microsoft is most likely to set up some type of Surface virtual occasion or statement in October this year, for this new Surface Laptop and other hardware refreshes and accessories.

Microsoft is apparently preparing to launch a smaller Surface Laptop later this year. Windows Central reports that Microsoft is preparing a more lightweight variation of the Surface Laptop with a smaller 12.5-inch display.

As is constantly the case with Surface devices, Microsoft will likely provide RAM and storage upgrades. Weve found in the past that the base design Surface Go with just 4GB of RAM wasnt as efficient in everyday browsing and app tasks as the upgraded 8GB of RAM design.

Microsoft is even reported to be pricing this new Surface Laptop in between $500 and $600, making it an economical alternative for the Surface line. It seems placed as the Surface Go equivalent to the Surface Pro, as a smaller and more affordable clamshell laptop computer.
