One of Microsoft's new Surface Pro releases has appeared on a Dutch retailer. Tipped to receive a spring launch, the Surface Pro 12 should be available with 5G connectivity from day one, as well as Intel Panther Lake processors and up to 32 GB of RAM.

Earlier this week, Roland Quandt and WinFuture shared multiple details about Microsoft's upcoming Surface Pro and Surface Laptop releases. Reportedly, the company is set to offer its 2-in-1s and laptops with optional OLED displays this time around, unlike the current Surface Laptop 7 (curr. $909 - refurbished on Amazon).

Now, it seems that one of these new Surface devices has appeared on Dutch retailer Petdirect. On the face of it, Petdirect's listing is rather obscure. However, Quandt added 'Woodhaven' is Microsoft's codename for its next Surface Pro 'for Business' release.

Business side: "Marietta" is the internal name for the laptops, "Woodhaven" is the name for the new Surface Pro 13".

At this stage, it is unclear whether the €4,663 (~$5,285) pricing shown is accurate. For context, an equivalent Surface Pro 11 'for Business' costs €2,799 (~$3,315) including taxes. While a 65% increase, Microsoft has just raised some Surface prices by over 30% in the US. Whichever way one cuts it, the Surface Pro 12 'for Business' will be a pricey affair.

Setting pricing aside, Petdirect also mentions 'CU7' alongside 32 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Likely representing 'Core Ultra 7', Microsoft is currently expected to offer the Surface Pro 12 with up to Core Ultra 7 processors from Intel's Panther Lake family, rather than their more powerful Core Ultra X7 counterparts. Additionally, this SKU 5G connectivity, which was lacking entirely from the Surface Pro 11 'for Business' range with Intel processors.
