Microsoft has raised prices across the board on its Surface PCs at the Microsoft Store, with other retailers expected to follow soon. Both its midrange and flagship Surface lines are now significantly more expensive than they were just a few weeks ago, with the flagship Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11 now starting at $500 more than they launched at in 2024.

These price increases are significant, and come as RAM supply constraints impact the industry. “Due to recent increases in memory and component costs, Surface is updating pricing on Microsoft.com for its current‑generation hardware portfolio,” a Microsoft spokesperson told Windows Central. “We remain committed to delivering value to customers and partners while upholding our standards for quality and innovation.”
