The Surface Pro 9 5G is Microsoft"s most recent flagship tablet (its end of support is scheduled for October 25, 2028). However, the company plans to replace it with a newer model later this year. Rumors say Microsoft will hold a special Surface event in March, where we will see a couple of new Surface devices for business customers. The true successor to the Surface Pro 9 and Pro 9 5G will arrive a bit later, with the event rumored to happen in June 2024. New Surface computers will focus on AI and introduce ARM chips to more devices, not just the Surface Pro lineup.
