This is reportedly because Qualcomm\u2019s latest chips are in short supply, but it reverses Microsoft\u2019s trend of shipping Qualcomm-powered Surface devices to consumers first in recent years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The Surface Laptop OLED display will reportedly only be available on high-end models, with IPS panels used on the entry-level configurations. Some Surface Laptop models will also include a higher resolution screen, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Microsoft is also said to be upgrading the haptics system on its upcoming Surface models, coinciding with some recent <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/windows-insider\/2026\/04\/03\/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-26300-8155-dev-channel\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">changes to Windows 11<\/a>. \u201cUsers will be able to feel haptic feedback effects on compatible input devices while performing certain actions, such as aligning objects in PowerPoint, window snapping, resizing, or hovering over the Close button,\u201d said Microsoft earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Microsoft usually refreshes its Surface models in the May \/ June timeframe, so I\u2019d expect we\u2019ll be hearing official details about these devices soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Microsoft is preparing to launch new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models in the coming months.
