Microsoft Surface Sparti Tipped To Be Cheapest Surface Product Yet: What To Expect

Microsoft Surface laptops are known for their sleek designs and expensive price tags. Fresh reports suggest that the company might be working on an affordable Surface laptop. The rumored Microsoft Surface Sparti is said to feature a 12.5-inch display and draw power from the Intel Core i5 chipset.

Microsoft Surface Sparti Pricing

A report from Windows Central notes that the upcoming Surface Sparti would sit between the Surface Go and the Surface Pro laptops. It would make an entry-level laptop, which would automatically bring down the price of the device.

The report further suggests the Surface Sparti could debut anywhere between $500 and $600 (around Rs. 37,000 to Rs. 44,500). Yes, that would indeed make it the cheapest Microsoft Surface laptop, but there's still no official confirmation about it.

Microsoft Surface Sparti: What To Expect

The rumored Microsoft Surface Sparti is expected to pack 4GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage with the Intel Core i5 processor, at least for the entry-level variant. Windows 10 in S mode is expected as well, which would give users the access to only Microsoft-developed apps from the Microsft Store, and even browse only from Microsoft Edge.

With smartphones come with higher RAM, it would hardly make any sense for a Microsoft Surface laptop with 4GB RAM. However, sources note that the Surface Sparti is a typical Microsoft product that comes with the signature hardware with an affordable price tag.

alright let me bring MOAR questions: what is Sparti? what is Zeta? what is Olympus? California and Emporia ? 🙃 https://t.co/TUgpeoBRFA

More Microsoft Products Expected

Additionally, Microsoft is allegedly working on a few other products as well. A few codenames of the rumored products were tipped on Twitter, which are Arcata, Carina, California, Cayucos, Daedalus, Emporia, Hercules, Lucca, Olympus, Orpheus, and Zeus. If not all, at least a couple of these devices might debut by the end of the year.

From the looks of it, Microsoft has made a tough call with the Surface Sparti. It's too early to predict if the new laptop will have takers. The newly launched Microsoft Surface Duo has been receiving positive reviews worldwide. We need to wait and see if the affordable Microsoft Surface Sparti also receives similar approval.
