Microsoft Surface Rentals for Events, Presentations & Trade Shows
Surface Pro 10, Surface Laptop 5, and Surface Go 4 — PixelSense 3:2 touchscreens, Surface Pen, detachable keyboard, and Windows 11 Pro native. The only Microsoft Surface rental page on the Aria AV site. Pre-configured and delivered nationwide.
The Microsoft-native event laptop — built for Microsoft 365, Teams, and Copilot
Surface is designed by Microsoft to run Windows 11 Pro and Microsoft 365 at the hardware level — optimised drivers, Studio Microphones tuned for Teams calls, Windows Hello facial recognition for passwordless sign-in, and Surface Pen latency matched to the PixelSense display. No other laptop page on the Aria AV site covers Surface. For MacBooks, Windows laptops, Chromebooks, or ThinkPads see our other laptop rental pages.
Three things Surface does that no other rental laptop can
Microsoft Surface models available for rent
The Surface Pro 10 features a 13-inch PixelSense Flow touchscreen at 2880×1920 resolution (267 PPI), up to 120Hz dynamic refresh rate, 600 nits brightness, Dolby Vision IQ, individual colour calibration, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 with anti-reflective coating. Powered by Intel Core Ultra with a dedicated AI Boost NPU and two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 and DisplayPort 2.1 support for up to 8K external display output. The detachable design allows seamless transition between laptop mode at a desk and tablet mode for presenting, annotating slides, or handing to clients for digital signature capture.
- Executive conference presentations
- Client briefings with digital signature
- Sales team mobile showcases
- Annotation & whiteboard sessions
- Events needing laptop + tablet in one
- Microsoft 365 Copilot AI workflows
The Surface Laptop 5 is available in 13.5-inch (2256×1504) and 15-inch (2496×1664) PixelSense touchscreen sizes, both with a 3:2 aspect ratio, Dolby Vision IQ, and 10-point multi-touch. Built on the Intel Evo platform with Thunderbolt 4 connectivity and up to 18 hours of battery life, the Surface Laptop 5 is the Surface for delegates who want a conventional clamshell form factor — the PixelSense 3:2 display and premium aluminium chassis without the detachable complexity of the Pro.
At 521 grams (1.15 pounds) the Surface Go 4 is Microsoft's smallest and most portable Surface PC, with a 10.5-inch 1920×1280 PixelSense touchscreen, Windows Hello facial recognition, and dual far-field Studio Microphones with Voice Clarity. The preferred choice for event registration desks, kiosk stations, check-in deployments, and field sales enablement where a full-size laptop is unnecessary but a Windows 11 Pro device with touchscreen is required.
Microsoft Surface at every event type
Conference presentations
Surface Pro 10 in tablet mode at the podium — presenter walks the room carrying just the display, annotating slides live with the Surface Pen while the audience views a mirrored screen.
Digital signature capture
Surface Pen on Surface Pro 10 enables legally admissible digital signature workflows at pharmaceutical, legal, and financial services events — no separate signature pad required.
Registration & check-in kiosks
Surface Go 4 mounted on a stand at 521g — Windows 11 kiosk mode locks to your registration app. Windows Hello allows touchless facial recognition check-in without attendee typing or badge scanning.
Corporate training rooms
Surface Laptop 5 in 13.5-inch or 15-inch — matched fleet with identical Windows 11 Pro image, Thunderbolt 4 docking for external monitors, and 3:2 display for document-intensive training content.
Executive briefing centres
Surface Pro 10 with the Surface Pro Flex Keyboard — premium aluminium device on a boardroom table signals the quality of the briefing. Transition to tablet mode to hand across the table for client interaction.
Field sales enablement
Surface Pro 10 in a sales rep's hands at a trade show — lightweight 885g tablet for walking the floor, full Windows laptop when seated. One device covers the entire event day without switching hardware.

How Microsoft Surface rentals work
Request a quote
Tell us your Surface model, accessories needed (keyboard, pen), fleet size, Microsoft 365 tenant, and event date.
Configuration
We enroll via Windows Autopilot, configure Intune policies, install event apps, and test pen input, touch, and Thunderbolt connectivity on every device.
Delivery & setup
Surfaces delivered to your venue. Every device powered on, keyboard attached, and verified before your event opens.
Return & wipe
We collect all devices, unenroll from your Autopilot/Intune tenant, and wipe all event data before redeployment.
Post-Event Data Sanitisation on Every Surface Device
After each rental Aria AV removes your Microsoft Intune and Autopilot enrollment, resets Windows 11 to a clean state, and permanently deletes all event data, credentials, and application configurations before redeployment. Data destruction certificates are available on request — compliant with pharmaceutical, government, and enterprise IT security requirements.
