It can be used in three distinct positions: as a standard laptop, as a thick tablet or at a tilted angle offering just the display and trackpad. The Surface Laptop Studio is Microsoft's 2-in-1 for creatives, offering versatility for those on the go.It has a smaller 12.4-inch display and less powerful specs but still retains the premium design of its pricier sibling.

The Surface Laptop Go is a more budget-oriented version of the Surface Laptop.It's available in 13.5 and 15-inch versions and is an upgraded version of the Surface Laptop 4, with new internals including Intel's 12th-generation processors. The Surface Laptop 5 is a traditional clamshell laptop, still with a touchscreen.Microsoft is targeting Apple iPad users and Chromebooks users with this device, as it's the smallest Surface available and the cheapest.

The Surface Go 3 is a 10.5-inch touchscreen tablet that, at first glance, looks like a smaller Surface Pro, but it's a little more portable and has less powerful processors - such as the Intel Core m3 and Pentium.This class of device previously fell under the Surface Pro X branding, but now both are named Surface Pro and share the same chassis. The Surface Pro 9 lineup now includes a 5G-capable version running on a Qualcomm processor.It retains the same design as the last couple of generations but the internals have been updated including Intel's 12th-generation Core processors. The Surface Pro 9 is a Windows 11 2-in-1 PC with a detachable keyboard, but it's definitely not for people who want a conventional laptop.Just so you know, this lineup doesn't include the business-orientated Surface Hub interactive whiteboard, or the Android-based Surface Duo 2.
