A new 11in model is rumoured to be joining the existing 13in version, with both expected to arrive later this year
The Surface Pro turns 10 this year, and Microsoft is expected to mark the occasion with at least one new model.
Its flagship 2-in-1 has come a long way since 2013’s original – an updated version of the very first Surface from a few months earlier. However, it’s retained the same core design throughout that time, consisting of a large tablet with optional detachable keyboard.
But with mixed reviews of last year’s Surface Pro 9, will Microsoft make any big changes on its successor? It’s looking possible, if the latest rumours are to be believed. Here’s everything you need to know.When will the Surface Pro 10 be released?
Microsoft appears to have settled into an annual update cycle for the Surface Pro, with the two-year gap between the Pro 7 and Pro 8 the only recent exception:
Surface Pro 9 – October 2022
Surface Pro 8 – September 2021
Surface Pro 7 – October 2019
Surface Pro 6 – October 2018
With that in mind, it’s likely the Surface Pro 10 will launch in late 2023. Microsoft usually holds an event in September or October, with the device on sale a couple of weeks later.
In an April 2023 Windows Central article, Zac Bowden hints at that being the likely launch window, but also says that “things might get pushed back even further”. This raises the possibility of the Pro 10 being delayed until 2024.How much will the Surface Pro 10 cost?
Again, the pricing of recent Surface Pro devices serves as a useful guide for the Pro 10:
Surface Pro 9 from $999.99/£1,099.99
Surface Pro 9 (5G) – from $1,299.99/£1,299
Surface Pro 8 – from $1,099/£999
Surface Pro 7 – from $749/£799
Surface Pro 6 – from $699/£749
As you can see, prices have been rising steadily in the last few years. Considering the current rate of inflation in many countries, further hikes are possible on the Pro 10 – even if there’s only minor upgrades.
