Microsoft introduced the new Surface devices:Surface Laptop 6, which can reduce display reflections up to 50%, andSurface Pro 10, which Microsoft says has the best display ever on such a device, will be shipped to customers starting April 9, but they can be pre-ordered now.
Alongside the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra processors, and equipped with the NPUs ready to take on AI challenges, the new Surface laptops are also quite sustainable. Why? Well, Microsoft has equipped them with QR codes on their internal components, allowing users to easily identify them by scanning these codes.
Microsoft says that this decision will have a significant impact on reducing carbon emissions and waste reduction benefits. But it also allows users to repair their Surface laptops by themselves, without even having to visit a service shop.
Both devices are even easier to service and repair with built-in QR codes that provide convenient access to service guides. In Surface Pro 10 we’ve also included internal markings that identify the number of screws and driver types needed for key components. This increased device repairability can offer significant carbon emissions and waste reduction benefits. We are also making trade-in more convenient and secure for our commercial customers in the U.S. to help limit device waste.
