It’s not expected at Microsoft’s September event, and therefore unlikely to arrive before 2024
Microsoft makes lots of exciting Surface products these days, but you shouldn’t overlook the regular Surface Laptop.
Available in 13.5- and 15in sizes, it offers a traditional Windows 11 experience within a familiar, reliable design. But with the latest Surface Laptop 5 retaining a very similar design to 2017’s original, more significant changes are expected on the upcoming Surface Laptop 6.
A new model is thought to be in the works, but we might be waiting a while for any official announcement. Here’s everything we know at this stage.When will the Surface Laptop 6 be released?
Microsoft is holding an event in New York on 22 September 2023, with new Surface products expected to be among the announcements.

Waiting more than a year between generations is nothing new for the Surface Laptop, as you can see from the release dates below:
Surface Laptop 5 – October 2022
Surface Laptop 4 – April 2021
Surface Laptop 3 – October 2019
Surface Laptop 2 – October 2018

Surface Laptop 5 – from $999/£999 (13.5in), from $1,299/£1,299 (15in)
Surface Laptop 4 – from $999/£999 (13.5in), from $1,299/£1,299 (15in)
Surface Laptop 3 – from $999/£999 (13.5in), from $1,199/£1,199 (15in)
