Microsoft just dropped its latest Surface hardware, but a confusing cocktail of overlapping generation numbers, hidden specs, and physical screen sizes means the average buyer will have no idea what they’re actually purchasing.

The new Surface Pro 12 and Surface Laptop 8 highlight why Surface prices look bad even among skyrocketing premium prices.

Snadpragon X2 processors are coming to the Surface Pro 12 for Business and Surface Laptop 8 for Business. Since you can now choose identical silicon, the difference between consumer and business PCs comes down to enterprise features.

After years of asking, Microsoft will throw in a Surface Pro keyboard for free if you order the new Surface Pro 12th-Gen before June 30.

As expected, Microsoft has unveiled refreshed Surface Pro and Surface Laptop devices with Qualcomm's latest SoC and new colors, but are $500 and $600 more expensive than their predecessors.
