Microsoft Surface Pro 11, Surface Laptop 7 presented as the company’s first Copilot+ computers: price, features

Microsoft unveiled the Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 to consumers on Monday (May 20) at its Surface and Windows AI event.

The consumer-focused devices also become Copilot+’s first personal computers as the Windows maker integrates artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities into them. Notably, these PCs are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon X series chipsets instead of the Intel Core Ultra chipsets seen in the business-focused Surface devices.
