Unless the 11inch Surface will turn out to be a tablet - the seemingly endless wait for a modern, performant Windows mini tablet continues... RIP Surface Mini and all that never followed...

Ironically, now that Intel FINALLY has a low power, long battery life, good performance SoC with Lunar Lake, it's gonna be ARM based too, with still way to many of my everyday apps not optimized/ARM based
😭

Might go for an updated OneXPlayer X1 Mini or so instead...

The lunar lake devices need to launch before the end of Q2. Since 2020 Microsoft has a history of using last year's Intel processors, which I refuse to buy a year later for a premium. Come Q3 into Q4 we should see panther lake which will reportedly have much better multicore performance.

I would really be disappointed if the Surface Laptop Studio comes with a year old processor whether it's Intel, AMD, or Qualcomm given it's two-year update cadence. I hope they also add a RTX 5070 config instead of stopping at the XX60 tier.

Windows tablets don't work. It's why the Surface Dual ran Android.

"Microsoft launched its first ever specialized commercial Surface PCs with the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6"

They weren't commercial devices, they were business devices actually.

Unless they've been secretly working on a proper tablet UI/UX mode in the next Windows update, any Windows tablet would be useless it's a convertible like the Pro/Go. But with Panos gone, and MS cutting corners everywhere they can, I'll bet more than likely it's not happening anytime soon.
