With the new Surface Laptop 5G, Microsoft is consistently pursuing its vision of modern work devices. The 13.8-inch model combines the latest generation of mobile technology with AI-optimized performance and a sophisticated design. The device will be available in stores from August 26, 2025 and complements the growing range of Copilot+ PCs, which are specifically tailored to mobile working and data-intensive applications.
Key highlights at a glance:
- Integrated 5G modem with dynamic antenna system for uninterrupted connection
- Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) and dedicated NPU with over 40 trillion operations per second
- NanoSIM and eSIM support for global connectivity
- Featherweight design with less than 1.4 kg weight and durable premium housing
5G performance without compromise
The Surface Laptop 5G is not just about fast internet – Microsoft is taking a holistic approach: connectivity should be seamless, stable and secure, whether in the office, on the train or in a café. To achieve this, the company has developed a new antenna system that uses six strategically positioned antennas to automatically adjust the signal paths depending on the usage situation. The result: stable connections, even when switching between Wi-Fi and 5G networks.
It is particularly noteworthy that Microsoft has not only installed a standard 5G chip, but has also adapted the entire housing material to the requirements of mobile technology. A specially developed laminate enables reliable signal permeability without sacrificing the familiar Surface aesthetics and feel.
In addition, the device can be used as a mobile hotspot, ideal for meetings on the go or quick data synchronization with other devices. The ability to use both NanoSIM and eSIM also makes the notebook ready for use worldwide – without clunky extensions or additional hardware.
AI support directly on the device
A key feature of the Surface Laptop 5G is the dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU), which can perform over 40 trillion operations per second. This enables the device to perform numerous AI functions locally without having to rely on cloud data centers. Whether automatic meeting summaries, intelligent multitasking or context search in documents – processing takes place directly on the device, which shortens response times and increases data protection.
The interaction with Microsoft 365 Copilot provides real added value: information can be found more quickly, tasks can be completed more efficiently and routine processes are simplified through intelligent automation. This sets a new standard, especially for professional users in mobile working environments.
In the background, Microsoft’s end-to-end security infrastructure ensures that even sensitive company data remains protected. Devices can be managed via Intune, eSIM profiles can be configured remotely and security policies can be enforced centrally – ideal for companies with distributed teams and high compliance requirements.
Mobile, robust and ready for the future
Despite all the technology, the Surface Laptop 5G remains light, compact and elegant: weighing less than three pounds (around 1.36 kg), it is an ideal companion for business trips, external appointments or hybrid working models. Everyday use was not left to chance either – Microsoft tested the device under realistic conditions, such as when switching networks, when used on the lap or in busy office environments.
The 5G hardware was also validated in collaboration with over 100 mobile network providers in over 50 countries. This ensures that the Surface Laptop 5G is not only theoretically but also practically usable worldwide.
