Microsoft's first AI PCs Surface with Intel cores and a Copilot key

With the base spec Surface Pro 10 tablet you'll get a 13-inch LCD screen running an Ultra 5 135U processor with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB hard drive. Upgrading to an Ultra 7 165U processor will set you back another $500 and the fullest spec machine, with 64GB of RAM and a terabyte of storage, will cost $2,799 in all.

However, you'll still need a keyboard to use the system, which adds another $139, or $279 if you want a pen and better trackpad. During the launch Microsoft noted that the keyboard has been redesigned to have a bolder font and better backlighting, something many Surface users have found to be an issue in the past.

Those with the 13.5-inch version get a single Thunderbolt 4 port, as well as a standard USB 3.1 slot and a 3.5mm jack, while the 15-inch design adds a second Thunderbolt port and has an optional smartcard security reader, although the latter option is only for customers in the US and Canada. In a nod to the ecowarriors, Microsoft promises that the Surface Pro 10 will be made of 72 percent recycled kit, although this drops to just over 25 percent of the Surface 6 laptop range. Key parts come with QR codes they claim will make repairing these pricey pieces of kit much easier.
