In fact, this is the same exact design we’ve seen since the launch of the Surface Laptop line in 2017. Microsoft often keeps these designs quite static year over year, so it wouldn’t be too big of a surprise to find out that the Surface Laptop 5 looks identical to the Surface Laptop 4. Like the Surface Pro 9, we don’t currently know much about design changes to the Surface Laptop 5. Beyond that, we don’t have much info on changes to the overall design of the device. These would be in addition to the standard silver and black options, of course. The Surface Pro 9 is also rumored to get two new color options: forest green and sapphire blue. The two chip options would include Intel’s 12th-gen chips and the 5G-enabled SQ3, based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3.

Microsoft watcher Zac Bowden of Windows Central has claimed that the Surface Pro X will be merged into the Surface Pro 9, meaning the option for Intel or Qualcomm will both be available. The next Surface Pro, however, is rumored to converge these two products.
