Microsoft Surface Pro for Business 13-inch (12th Edition) — Intel Core Ultra Series 3, Optional OLED, Up to 17 Hours Battery, Removable Gen 4 SSD, Starting at $1,949.99

Microsoft has detailed the Surface Pro for Business 13-inch (12th Edition), the new 2-in-1 in the Surface for Business lineup. Pricing starts at $1,949.99 (MSRP) in select markets.

Key highlights include Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors (Core Ultra 5 335 and Core Ultra 7 366H), an Intel AI Boost NPU rated at 50 TOPS, an optional 13-inch OLED PixelSense Flow display with 120Hz refresh, a removable Gen 4 SSD, up to 64GB LPDDR5x RAM, and up to 17 hours of local video playback on Wi-Fi configurations.

The device ships in Platinum and Black with a strengthened glass display, an anodized aluminum casing, and a 165-degree full-friction kickstand. Wi-Fi 7 is standard; an optional Wi-Fi + 5G SKU adds NanoSIM and eSIM support.

Processor and NPU — Intel Core Ultra Series 3 With 50 TOPS AI Boost

Microsoft Surface for Business 2026 — New Surface Pro and Surface Laptop on Intel Core Ultra Series 3, Optional Integrated Privacy Screen, Snapdragon X2 Models Later This Year

Microsoft has announced the next generation of its Surface for Business portfolio. The new Surface Pro for Business and Surface Laptop for Business are powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 and are available starting May 19, 2026 in select markets, with a Snapdragon X2 wave following later in the year.

Key additions include the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 platform, an optional integrated privacy screen with anti-glare on the 13.8-inch Surface Laptop for Business, a removable Gen 4 SSD on the new 13-inch Surface Laptop, and Wi-Fi 7 across the line. Microsoft is also positioning the lineup as the reference hardware for Windows AI APIs and the Foundry platform, with on-device inferencing as a first-class capability.

Pricing starts at $1,499 MSRP for the Surface Laptop for Business 13-inch (16GB), with the new Surface Pro for Business 13-inch and the 13.8-inch / 15-inch Surface Laptop for Business both starting at $1,949.99 MSRP.

8GB Laptop 13-inchLater in 2026Surface Laptop for Business 13-inch, 8GB configuration, starting at $1,299.99 MSRP
Snapdragon waveLater in 2026Surface for Business models on Snapdragon X2 processors

Devices are sold through Surface for Business and Microsoft authorized commercial resellers.

Surface Laptop for Business 13-inch — Entry-Premium Tier With Removable Gen 4 SSD

The new 13-inch model is the most portable Surface Laptop. It launches today in 16GB and 24GB configurations starting at $1,499 MSRP, with an 8GB configuration arriving later in the year at $1,299.99 MSRP.

What stands out for IT: a removable Gen 4 SSD designed for enterprise serviceability, Wi-Fi 7 (6 GHz band availability varies by region), and on-device AI processing. Microsoft is framing this as the model that brings the full Surface experience to the entry-premium tier without asking IT or employees to give up performance for portability.

Surface Laptop for Business 13.8-inch and 15-inch — Up to 23 Hours Battery, Haptic Touchpad

The 13.8-inch and 15-inch sizes start at $1,949.99 MSRP and ship today in select markets. Battery life is rated up to 23 hours based on local video playback.

The touchpad uses advanced haptics, with tactile feedback for window snapping, resizing, dragging, dropping, and navigation, and the feedback extends into select third-party apps. Display options include a high-resolution touchscreen and, on select configurations, the new optional integrated privacy screen detailed below.

Optional Integrated Privacy Screen With Anti-Glare — First on a Surface Device

For the first time on Surface, Microsoft is offering an optional integrated privacy screen with anti-glare, built directly into select configurations of the 13.8-inch Surface Laptop for Business display.

It’s a software-driven visual privacy filter — not a third-party physical screen protector. IT can manage it centrally, or an employee can toggle it with a single keystroke. Microsoft describes it as security-by-design, made possible by the tight integration of Surface hardware and software.

Surface Pro for Business 13-inch — 2-in-1 With Optional 5G

The new Surface Pro for Business 13-inch starts at $1,949.99 MSRP, available today in select markets. The 2-in-1 form factor supports touch, voice, pen, and keyboard input, with on-device AI processing alongside the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 platform.

There are 5G options for users who need cellular connectivity outside the office — availability depends on carrier network and region.

Intel Core Ultra Series 3 — Microsoft’s Performance Numbers

Microsoft cites two benchmark comparisons, both run in April 2026 using Cinebench 2024 Multi-Core on select Intel Core Ultra X7 configurations:

  • Up to 35% more graphics performance than MacBook Air with M5 (10-core CPU, 13.5-inch)
  • Up to 95% faster than Surface Laptop 5 15-inch with Intel Core i7; up to 93% faster than Surface Laptop 5 13.5-inch with Intel Core i7

Microsoft is pitching this as sustained, fluid GPU performance for tasks like analysis, presentations, and on-the-go content work — without trading off mobility, battery life, or security.

Snapdragon X2 Coming Later in 2026 — Up to 80% Faster Local AI Inferencing

The Intel wave isn’t the whole portfolio. Microsoft says it will extend Surface for Business later this year with models featuring Snapdragon X2 processors.

The headline number: up to 80% faster local AI inferencing than the previous Snapdragon-based Surface Laptop generation, measured with Procyon AI benchmark comparing the 8th-edition Surface Laptop (13.8-inch and 15-inch) with Snapdragon to the 7th edition. Microsoft is also calling out longer battery life on this wave, though performance varies by configuration.

Security — Secured-Core PCs, Memory-Safe Firmware, Rust-Based Drivers

Every new Surface for Business device ships as a Secured-core PC, with chip-to-cloud protection aligned with the Microsoft security stack. Firmware updates are delivered through Windows Update, with no third-party update tooling in the mix.

Microsoft is also calling out a deeper firmware change: Surface is the first PC built on memory-safe firmware through the open-source Project Mu and Open Device Partnership (ODP) UEFI, with Rust-based drivers and a secure embedded controller rooted in hardware-based protection. That’s framed as a direct response to one of the industry’s most persistent classes of vulnerabilities — memory-corruption bugs in firmware.

AI on the Edge — Microsoft’s Pitch

Surface for Business is positioned for hybrid AI: cloud when it makes sense, on-device when it doesn’t. Microsoft cites real-time meeting transcription, intelligent writing assistance, select on-device image generation, and live translation as scenarios that work whether the user is in a server room, on a plane, or in a hospital ward (some features require an internet connection, compatible hardware, or a Microsoft 365 subscription).

For developers, Surface is being positioned as the reference platform for Windows AI APIs and the Foundry platform — a consistent hardware baseline for teams building enterprise AI applications that need to offload everyday workloads from the cloud to the device.

Eric Sedore, AVP and CTO at Syracuse University, is quoted in the announcement: “Surface allows us to run AI where learning happens, on the device itself. The future of AI is not everything going to the cloud; it’s AI at the edge.”

IT Management — Intune, Autopilot, Surface Management Portal

From UEFI to browser, the whole portfolio can be managed through Microsoft Intune. Each device supports Windows Autopilot and the Surface Management Portal, giving IT a single plane for provisioning at scale, policy enforcement, and full lifecycle management, including zero-touch deployment.

Microsoft’s framing here is that when the hardware, OS, management platform, and productivity suite are all built and optimized by the same vendor, the operational story tightens — fewer integration seams, fewer third-party update channels.

Sustainability and Repairability — Recycled Aluminum, Replaceable Components

The Surface Laptop 13.8-inch, 15-inch, and Surface Pro 13-inch use 100% recycled aluminum in the enclosure (Pro 13-inch enclosure at 86% recycled content overall; Laptop 13.8-inch and 15-inch at 64%; both validated by Underwriter Laboratories using ECVP 2809-2). Magnets across these models use 100% recycled rare earth metals.

Each device is ENERGY STAR certified, outperforming the baseline by at least 45%. A new Automatic Keyboard Backlight setting on the 13-inch, 13.8-inch, and 15-inch Surface Laptop keyboards (and the Surface Pro 13-inch keyboard) helps reduce power use — note the feature isn’t supported with wireless detach on the Surface Pro 13-inch Flex Keyboard.

On repairability: nearly every major component is replaceable, with a parts supply chain for IT teams and a service guide that uses commonly available tools. Replacement components are available through Surface Commercial authorized device resellers. Repairs done outside the documented process aren’t covered under Microsoft’s Hardware Warranty.

FAQ / Common Questions

Google’s Gemini Intelligence on Android — Multi-Step App Automation, Rambler, Create My Widget Coming First to Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10

Google has announced / introduced Gemini Intelligence on Android, a layer that brings proactive Gemini-powered features to a curated set of Android devices. The rollout starts this summer (2026) on the Samsung Galaxy S26 and Google Pixel 10, with the feature set expanding to Wear OS watches, cars, Android XR glasses, and Android-powered laptops later in the year.

Key additions include multi-step task automation across apps, the new Rambler voice-to-text feature with built-in Hindi-English code-mixing support, Create My Widget for natural-language widget building, smarter Autofill tied to Gemini’s Personal Intelligence, and Gemini in Chrome for research and browsing tasks (rolling out late June).

Android is moving from an operating system into an intelligence system.

The framing from Google: Android is moving from an operating system into an intelligence system. Privacy and control are part of the pitch — Gemini acts only on explicit commands, audio for Rambler isn’t stored, and the Autofill–Gemini link is opt-in.

Multi-Step Task Automation Across Apps

Google’s spent the last few months tuning Gemini’s multi-step automation on the Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10, with food-delivery and rideshare apps as the launch focus. You hand off the logistics — booking a spin-class bike, finding a Gmail-attached class syllabus and ordering the books, walking through a delivery app’s checkout — and Gemini drives the in-app steps for you.

Screen and image context unlock more of this. Long-press the power button over a notes-app grocery list and Gemini can turn it into a shopping cart for delivery. Snap a photo of a travel brochure in a hotel lobby and ask it to find a comparable tour on Expedia for six people. Notifications track each task as Gemini works in the background.

The control model is the part to pay attention to. Gemini only acts on an explicit command, runs until the task is done, and stops. A final confirmation step stays with you.

Gemini in Chrome — Late June Rollout

Starting in late June, Chrome on Android gets a Gemini browsing layer. The assistant can summarize a page, compare information across multiple tabs, and answer research-style queries from inside the browser.

There’s also Chrome auto browse — Gemini taking care of repetitive web tasks on its own. Two examples called out by Google: booking an appointment and reserving a parking spot. Same control model as app automation — explicit commands, defined stop points.

Bento Blog header 5.6.26 .width 1200.format webp

Smarter Autofill, Now Tied to Gemini

Autofill with Google has handled the obvious fields for a while. The Gemini version goes after the messier ones — complex forms with multiple sections, vague labels, and the kind of context the older Autofill couldn’t reason about. Gemini pulls the relevant data from your connected apps and fills fields without making you flip between screens.

The Gemini connection here is strictly opt-in. You choose whether to link Gemini to Autofill with Google, and a toggle in settings lets you turn it off at any point.

Rambler — Speech to Polished Text, With Hindi-English Mixing

Gboard’s voice-to-text has been fine for clean dictation. Rambler is built for the way most people actually talk — with um, ah, like, mid-sentence corrections, and the habit of changing direction halfway through. You speak naturally; Rambler keeps the substance and drops the filler, returning a tighter written version.

The India-relevant detail: Rambler handles multi-lingual input in a single message. The example Google flagged is English-Hindi code-mixing — the kind of switching most Indian users do every day in WhatsApp and email. Gemini’s multi-lingual model reads context across the switch and produces a clean message that keeps the original mix.

On privacy: Rambler shows a clear indicator while it’s active, audio is transcribed in real time, and nothing is stored or saved after the transcription is done.

Create My Widget — Generative UI on the Home Screen

Create My Widget is the first generative-UI step on Android. Describe what you want in plain language, and Gemini builds the widget.

Two examples from Google’s post:

  • A meal-prep widget told to “suggest three high-protein recipes every week” — Gemini builds a resizable dashboard you can drop on the home screen.
  • A cyclist asking for a weather widget that surfaces only wind speed and rain — Gemini strips the standard weather card down to just those data points.

The widgets work on Gemini Intelligence Android phones and on Wear OS watches. A watch widget can be a stripped-down view of the same generated layout, so the data you care about stays one glance away.

A UI Built on Material 3 Expressive

Gemini Intelligence ships with an updated visual system layered on Material 3 Expressive. Animations are tied to purpose — confirming a task, showing progress, transitioning between states — and the design aims to reduce ambient distractions rather than add to them.

  • Halation Tool: Designed to recreate the red-orange fringe effect found in classic film stocks. This simulates light reflection off the film base. It includes a Threshold setting to select light sources and a Strength slider for color intensity.

“Adjust” Module & Tonal Controls

The updated “Adjust” editing module features a real-time before/after preview for color grading. It includes granular controls for:

  • Brightness & Contrast: Standard exposure adjustments.
  • Saturation & Ambiance: Color intensity and light balance management.
  • Highlights & Shadows: Targeted recovery or darkening of specific tonal ranges.
  • Warmth: Color temperature shifting.

Film Emulation & Preset System

Snapseed Version 4.0 focuses on film-inspired aesthetics with a new preset browser featuring visual thumbnails. Built-in film stock presets like FS1, KP1, KG1 etc are included. The interface now allows users to save custom adjustment stacks as reusable “Looks”. The updated workspace also supports expanded Favorites, allowing for quicker access to frequently used tools.

Non-Destructive Edit Stacks

The app utilizes a non-destructive “Edit Stack” workflow. Every adjustment is saved in a layered edit history system, ensuring that all changes remain individually reversible. Users can return to any point in the edit history to modify specific parameters without affecting subsequent edits in the stack.

AI Masking & Selection

A new One-tap AI masking system provides automated subject selection for localized adjustments. This reduces the need for manual brushing when targeting specific parts of an image. For more precise work, a dedicated masking panel offers granular control over the AI-generated selections.

  • Copy & Paste Edits: Adjustment stacks can be copied from one image and applied directly to others.
  • Batch Editing UI: A dedicated interface for processing multiple photos simultaneously.
  • Recent Edits Browser: Quick access to the most recently modified files.
  • Home Screen Shortcut: A direct shortcut to the integrated in-app camera.
  • Retained Tools: Healing, Selective adjustment, and Crop tools remain available in the updated interface.

Samsung V-NAND TLC Storage & In-House Controller

At the core sits a Samsung in-house controller paired with 8GB LPDDR4 cache memory — a sizable DRAM buffer for an SSD of this capacity. The NAND is Samsung V-NAND TLC, and the full 8TB follows the IDEMA standard (1 GB = 1 billion bytes). Actual usable space will be slightly less after formatting and partitioning.

Physically, the drive measures 100 × 69.85 × 6.8 mm in the standard 2.5-inch chassis and weighs approximately 48g.

560/530 MB/s Sequential Read/Write Performance

Sequential speeds reach up to 560 MB/s read and 530 MB/s write — the same ceiling as the 4TB, 2TB, and 1TB variants in the 870 EVO lineup. The 500GB and 250GB models are capped at 560/300 MB/s instead.

With Samsung’s Intelligent TurboWrite active, random I/O reaches:

  • Random Read: Up to 98,000 IOPS
  • Random Write: Up to 88,000 IOPS

Performance figures may vary depending on system hardware and configuration.

AES 256-bit Encryption & Drive Management

Hardware encryption covers AES 256-bit (Class 0) with TCG/Opal and IEEE 1667 encrypted drive support. On the maintenance side, the 870 EVO 8TB supports TRIM, S.M.A.R.T. monitoring, World Wide Name (WWN), Device Sleep Mode, and an Auto Garbage Collection algorithm.

Samsung provides two software tools for the 870 EVO:

  • Samsung Magician Software — firmware updates, drive health monitoring, encryption management, performance optimization
  • Data Migration Software — for cloning and migrating data when upgrading to the 870 EVO from an older drive

Project Glasswing Announced – Anthropic, AWS, Apple, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA Join Forces to Secure Critical Software Using Claude Mythos Preview

Anthropic has announced Project Glasswing, a new cybersecurity initiative built around an unreleased frontier AI model called Claude Mythos Preview. The project brings together a dozen of the largest names in technology and finance — Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorgan Chase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks — along with more than 40 additional organisations that build or maintain critical software infrastructure.

The goal: use AI’s rapidly advancing offensive coding capabilities for defensive purposes, before those same capabilities fall into the wrong hands.

Anthropic is committing up to $100 million in usage credits for Mythos Preview across the program, plus an additional $4 million in direct donations to open-source security organisations.

Why Project Glasswing Was Formed

Project Glasswing was created in response to capabilities Anthropic observed during testing of Claude Mythos Preview — a general-purpose, unreleased frontier model. According to Anthropic, the model has reached a level of coding ability where it can surpass all but the most skilled humans at finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities.

In internal testing, Mythos Preview has already surfaced thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities, including issues in every major operating system and web browser.

Anthropic’s view is that this kind of capability will not stay rare for long. As frontier AI progress continues, similar tools are likely to spread to actors who may not be committed to safe deployment — with potentially severe fallout for economies, public safety, and national security. Project Glasswing is framed as an urgent attempt to put these capabilities to work on the defensive side first.

What the Launch Partners Will Do

Each of the 12 launch partners will use Claude Mythos Preview as part of their internal defensive security work. Anthropic has said it will share what it learns from these deployments back with the broader industry, so the entire security community benefits — not just the named partners.

Launch Partners

CategoryPartner
Frontier AIAnthropic
CloudAmazon Web Services, Google, Microsoft
Consumer & DevicesApple
Networking & SecurityCisco, Palo Alto Networks
Endpoint SecurityCrowdStrike
SiliconBroadcom, NVIDIA
Financial ServicesJPMorgan Chase
Open SourceThe Linux Foundation

Beyond the launch group, Anthropic has extended access to more than 40 additional organisations that maintain critical software infrastructure, so they can use Mythos Preview to scan and harden both first-party and open-source systems.

Anthropic’s Financial Commitment

CommitmentAmount
Usage Credits for Mythos PreviewUp to $100 million
Direct Donations to Open-Source Security$4 million

The donation portion is targeted specifically at open-source security organisations — the maintainers and projects that often defend critical infrastructure on shoestring budgets.

What Claude Mythos Preview Is

Claude Mythos Preview is described as a general-purpose, unreleased frontier model trained by Anthropic. It is not yet available to the public. What makes it relevant to Project Glasswing is its coding capability — specifically, its ability to read source code and identify security flaws at a level Anthropic says exceeds nearly all human reviewers.

Key facts disclosed about the model:

  • Status: Unreleased preview, accessible only through Project Glasswing partners
  • Type: General-purpose frontier model
  • Notable capability: Vulnerability discovery and exploitation in software
  • Track record so far: Thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities found, including in every major OS and browser

Anthropic has not yet disclosed when, or whether, Mythos Preview will graduate into a publicly available Claude release.

The Bigger Picture: Defenders Need to Move First

In its announcement, Anthropic was clear that Project Glasswing is a starting point, not a complete solution. The company stated that no single organisation can solve cybersecurity at this scale alone, and called on frontier AI developers, software companies, security researchers, open-source maintainers, and governments to all play a role.

Two timelines are in tension:

  • Defending the world’s cyber infrastructure is work that may take years.
  • Frontier AI capabilities are likely to advance substantially over just the next few months.

Anthropic’s argument is that for cyber defenders to come out ahead, the work has to start now — before the same class of capabilities is available to adversaries at scale.
