Next-gen Surface Laptop 8 with Intel Lunar Lake chip leaks as unauthorized sale appears online

What you need to know

A new Surface Laptop prototype with an Intel Lunar Lake processor has appeared for sale on Chinese website Goofish.
The listing claims that Microsoft will officially start selling Intel versions of the Surface Laptop with the new design in 2025.
The device has an Intel Core Ultra 7 268V processor and would cost around $2,600 for the high-end configuration.

Microsoft may be preparing to ship an Intel Lunar Lake version of the Surface Laptop 7 in the coming months, if a recent leak is to be believed. Spotted by Akaza_Durian on Reddit, a Surface Laptop prototype with an Intel Core Ultra 7 268v processor has appeared for sale on Chinese site Goofish, with the listing mentioning that the laptop won’t officially go on sale until 2025.

The Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11 launched earlier this year exclusively with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon be genuine, and my sources can confirm that Microsoft is currently internally testing Intel Lunar Lake variants of the upcoming Surface Laptop (possibly named EVB).

My sources are unsure whether the Intel Lunar Lake Surface Laptop is another variant of the Surface Laptop 7 or the Surface Laptop “8”. Regardless, the design of the next Surface Laptop is expected to remain identical to the current Surface Laptop 7. It is likely that Microsoft intends to offer both Intel and Qualcomm variants of the Surface Laptop with its updated design until 2025.

The listing on Goofish says the laptop will likely cost around CNY19,000 ($2,600) in the Microsoft Store and has 32GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage, making it one of the top configurations of range likely to be available. The Intel Core Ultra 268V would also be paired with an Intel Arc 140V GPU and an Intel AI Boost NPU that will support over 40 TOPS of power. It remains to be seen whether Microsoft intends to offer Intel to both consumers and commercial customers; Surface PCs equipped with Intel Core Ultra gen 1 were exclusive to Microsoft’s “for business” line.

Here’s what the Goofish list says (translated into English 🙂

“Surface Laptop 7 Ultra 7 268V processor, the latest, not yet on the Microsoft Store! The latest, with a very narrow frame, not the old Laptop 6, not the old Ultra 7 (Meteor Lake), it’s the last one It will arrive soon on the Microsoft Store for a price of around 19,000 CNY 32 GB RAM + 1 TB SSD, latest version 2024 which will be released in 2025 “

We gave the Snapdragon The new design is also a step up from the Surface Laptop 6 and Surface Laptop 5, making it a great Windows clamshell in every way. For those who have been waiting for this design with an Intel processor, the wait may soon be over.
