Lunar Lake will power Microsoft’s first Intel-based Copilot+ PCs, while the Snapdragon X Plus gets selected for a new, 11-inch Surface device.

Lunar lake is the perfect match for a surface type thin and light.

Although the 11 inch model is more interesting to me.
Finally, back to the good old size of the OG.

I think something like Strix Halo would actually be perfect for the Surface Laptop Studio. The current SKUs with the dGPU seem to have the capability to cool between 80W-110W so it seems like it would be a great fit given it's already premium priced.

Top tier Halo has TDP 130W, that cooling would be marginal at best. It's not desined for thin and light, gaming class and worksation class laptops. You have Strix Point in the 17-54W TDP range for thin and light. Halo would be a disaster in Surface laptop.

Given that I literally said what the current Surface Studio Laptop can dissipate, Microsoft's history of not using the top SKUs and there being multiple Strix Halo SKUs that would fit in fine makes this response really stupid.

Yeah... this will be a sweet laptop, but I can't go for Microsoft laptops since they like to follow Apple in having an excessively closed hardware ecosystem, namely having almost no AMD presence. Sure, Surface Laptop 3 and 4 had AMD options, but where is that presence today? There was some level of justification to it prior to AMD being extremely competitive, but here we are today.

Also, Pat G. said Lunar Lake was a niche product... so the Surface Laptop is a niche product??
