Priced at $899 and $799 respectively, these Copilot+ PCs aim to attract students, early-career professionals, and cost-conscious users.
Both devices are equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Plus processor, enabling on-device AI functionalities such as drafting documents using natural prompts and adjusting system settings through simple queries. These features operate without requiring an internet connection, enhancing privacy and speed.
Compared to previous models, the new Surface Laptop and Surface Pro have slightly reduced screen sizes but offer improved battery life—up to 16 hours of web browsing for the Surface Laptop.
