Microsoft ‘working’ on a budget 12.5-inch Surface laptop

San Francisco, Sep 9 (IANS) Microsoft is reportedly working on a new Surface Laptop codenamed Sparti that will be more affordable than existing models.

The entry-level model of the affordable Surface Laptop is likely to come with a 12.5-inch display, 4GB RAM, 10th gen Intel Core i5 processor, 64GB storage.

This model is expected to be priced somewhere between $500 and $600, reports WindowsCentral.
