Microsoft has heralded a'new era' of computing with the launch of new devices in its touchscreen Surface range. The Redmond, Washington-based tech giant has revealed the £1,099 Surface Pro 9, a 2-in-1 detachable with the'power of a laptop and the flexibility of a tablet'. It's also revealed the £999 Surface Laptop 5, a'powerhouse laptop' with all-day battery life, and the £4,699 Surface Studio 2, an update on its all-in-one PC. All three devices run Windows 11 and are compatible with the Surface Slim Pen 2, the firm's stylus for drawing and jotting notes. Microsoft has said the new devices take Windows'into the next era of computing', but an analyst claims the products only show'incremental' updates.
