Apparently, Microsoft is considering releasing the device under its Surface Laptop series as a Surface Laptop Pro or a Surface Laptop Studio. Windows Central believes that Microsoft may shake things up with the Surface Book 4 though, starting with a different name for the machine. In the six years since the inaugural model, the Surface Book series has gained a 15-inch option, a USB Type-C port and a subtly different keyboard deck, but most changes are internal ones.
And that's exactly the time that the Redmond firm would be likely to show off redesigned hardware.Microsoft has stuck with the Surface Book design since 2015, for better or worse. After all, alongside Windows 11, there should be a hardware event where Microsoft can show off some hero devices. In the six years since it was introduced, the Surface Book has only been refreshed twice, but later this year seems like a great time for Microsoft to roll out the Surface Book 4. With the base being heavier and the screen being lighter, using it on your lap should be much easier. The screen doesn't need to have its own battery at all on the Surface Book 4. It means that the product not only doesn't have to have all of the guts in the display, but you don't need to have things like dual batteries anymore. Having a convertible instead of a detachable solves this problem. Because of this, the Surface Book tends to be very top-heavy. The base only includes a second battery and depending on the model, a dedicated GPU. That includes a battery, the CPU, the memory, the storage, and more. The problem with having the ability to detach the display is that in order for the tablet to work on its own, all of the guts need to be in the screen. This new design, while not entirely original in the Windows space (there have been tons of convertible designs), would solve a lot of problems for the Surface Book 4.
