Summary
$849 and $949 are Microsoft's new starting prices for the 12-inch Surface Pro and 13-inch Surface Laptop, both now sold with 8GB of RAM instead of 16GB.
That lower-cost option follows April price hikes that pushed the same devices to $1,049 and $1,199 from their 2025 launch prices of $799 and $899.
Other hardware is unchanged: both models still use the 8-core Snapdragon X Plus chip and 256GB of storage.
8GB of memory means the devices do not support Copilot Plus features, which require at least 16GB of RAM.
Even after the price cut, the new Surface models remain above the $599 MacBook Neo that has pressured the low-cost laptop market.
