The new 12" Surface Pro is official

It's here, we have a new 12" Surface Pro alongside the previously released 13" Surface Pro. Odd to have two devices with nearly identical screen size, but there you have it!


Starting at $800 for the Platinum version. "Ocean" and Violet are $100 extra (sorry violetjack).


Especially for @dstrauss : the 12” weighs 1.5lbs, 25% less than the 13” model. That is a respectable weight loss for 15% less screen area.


  • No 5G on the 12” model

  • No surface port, just 2xUSB-C / USB 3.2 ports

  • No SSD for the 12” model, just soldered UFS flash storage

  • No pen storage on the keyboard, instead there’s a shallow magnetic slot on the back of the device.

  • The keyboard no longer props up, it lays flat.

  • 8 core CPU, compared to 10 core or 12 core for the 13”. Upside: fanless.

  • 38Wh battery, compared to 48Wh or 53Wh for the 13” LCD or OLED.
