As Microsoft's AI-focused event is slated to kick off in May this year, a substantial buzz has gathered around the expected disclosure of the company's much-awaited Surface series products powered by Qualcomm X series chipsets. The event will be held via media invites on May 20, 2024.
On the sidelines of the AI-focused event, the company is also organising another event on March 21, during which Intel-powered Surface PCs maybe launched.
According to the XDA Developers report, the Arm-based Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 are likely to be released, along with new user-centric AI features.

It's also expected that the new Surface products could be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite chipset, making the PCs one of the first to feature the new SoC. However, these specifications have not been confirmed by the company.
Earlier leaks suggested that Microsoft Surface Pro 10 will boast new OLED display that is brighter, and features an anti-reflective coating. In addition, it will support high dynamic range (HDR) content, a new webcam with an ultrawide sensor, and an built-in near field communication (NFC) reader which will offer AI Studio Effects. It's expected that the design of the PCs will be the same as it older versions.
According to rumours, the Surface Laptop 6 could be launched with Surface Pro 10, sporting a display with thinner bezels and rounded corners. Further features expected on the Surface Laptop 6 include a new haptic touchpad along with a dedicated key to call Capilot AI adjacent to the Window key.
Respectively, the company unveiled this new key in Windows laptops the previous year. Whereas, the Laptop 6 may also have a new set of ports, including two USB Type-C ports and one USB Type-A port on the left side, and the right side of the gadget might accommodate a magnetic Surface Connect charger.
