We recently announced new Surface Pro for Business and Surface Laptop for Business devices powered by Intel\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Core\u2122 Ultra Series 3 processors and Snapdragon\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0X2 processors. Across the lineup, these devices include Secured-core PC protections and on-device AI processing, with an optional integrated privacy screen on 13.8-inch models, and an advanced haptic experience. With 13-inch, 13.8-inch, and 15-inch options available, organizations can choose devices that align with different roles, performance needs, and workstyles.<\/p>\n

Hardware is only part of the story. Once devices enter an environment, IT teams need to identify, manage, protect, and recover them. That is where Surface Tools for Business come into focus.<\/p>\n

Recent updates to Surface Management Portal, Surface Support Portal, Surface IT Toolkit, and Surface Repair Tool add support for the latest Surface for Business devices powered by Intel and Snapdragon and enhance key management and support workflows.<\/p>\n

Scorecard and Protection Plans in Surface Management Portal<\/h1>\n

Managing devices goes beyond deployment. IT teams also need visibility into fleet health and access to support resources that help keep devices protected throughout their lifecycle. In the United States, Surface Management Portal now includes Scorecard and Protection Plan capabilities designed to help admins monitor key fleet health indicators and review available protection plan options for eligible devices.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong>\u00a0The Scorecard experience and Protection Plan purchasing capabilities in Surface Management Portal are currently available to customers in the United States only.<\/p>\n

The Scorecard: Fleet Health, Not Just Fleet Data<\/h2>\n

Current insight dashboards present a wide range of metrics, including device counts, compliance percentages, and warranty status. While useful, those data points on their own don\u2019t always make it easy to determine what needs attention or what the next steps are.<\/p>\n
