About the session
Join us for an exclusive technical session designed specifically for Surface partners to get fully up to speed on the newly launched Intel-based Surface for Business devices: Surface Pro for Business, 13-inch (12th Edition), Surface Laptop for Business, 13.8" and 15" (8th Edition), and Surface Laptop for Business, 13-inch.
We'll explore the latest advancements, including Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors with Intel AI Boost NPU at 50 TOPS, configurations supporting up to 64GB RAM, and a removable Gen 4 SSD across the lineup. With this release, Intel Core Ultra is now available across the full Surface for Business range, including chassis previously offered only with Snapdragon. That gives partners a fully x86-based Surface option alongside the existing ARM-based Snapdragon configurations, broadening compatibility for line-of-business apps and specialized enterprise software.
Device-specific highlights we'll cover:
- Optional 5G on Surface Pro 13" (12th Edition) with NanoSIM and eSIM support, a first for the Intel-based Pro chassis
- Optional anti-glare display with integrated privacy screen on Surface Laptop 13.8", toggled by a dedicated keyboard key
- New Surface precision haptics with adaptive touch mode on Surface Laptop 13.8" and 15"
- Sharper 15" display at 262 PPI, plus MicroSDXC Express card reader and optional integrated smart card reader in select markets
- Up to 23 hours of local video playback on Surface Laptop 13.8"
You'll receive clear guidance on what's new, what differs from the Snapdragon generation, and how to confidently position the right Intel configuration for each commercial customer scenario. This is your opportunity to leave with the essential technical details and partner-focused selling points you need to support your customers right away.
