Back in October 2019, Microsoft refreshed its Surface hardware with three new devices in the form of the Surface Pro X, the Surface Pro 7, and the Surface Laptop 3. While all three Surface devices were only available in the U.S, the UK, and some European markets at the time being, the products have now finally arrived in India. The Surface Pro 7 made an appearance in an Amazon.in listing earlier this year, seemingly available for purchase. Microsoft has now made the official announcement, and for all three of these products.
