The American tech superstar has unveiled more new additions to its Surface hardware family. Special versions of the hybrid Surface Pro and Laptop should be available in Europe and the Czech Republic in September, but we can already look forward to them.
So far, the latest regular editions of these two devices came out a few months ago. Both have Intel processors inside and are already AI-ready. Read on to find out what they can do.
But now comes a brand new line that has AI Copilot right in the name. Let’s take a look at what the new Surfacy Copilot+ PCs have to offer.
Microsoft Surface Pro Copilot+ PC
A hybrid device that can be used as both a tablet and a small handheld laptop with a full Windows 11 operating system. It has a Snapdragon X Plus or Elite chipset, Ram from 16GB and SSD storage from 256GB. The 13-inch display comes in a basic LED variant, but you can get a more expensive piece with an OLED version.
Did you know? According to the manufacturer, the new Pro is 90% faster than Pro 9. State-of-the-art processors can handle 45 trillion operations per second, which is absolutely unimaginable. And that makes them perfectly suited to AI.
Communication is facilitated by an AI-enabled camera and Windows Studio Effects – a suite of tools that provide the best sound, picture or real eye contact. You can get a Surface Pro Flex Keyboard to go with your device. It’s lightweight, comfortable, quiet and has a large touchpad with haptic response.
The computer has thorough security, an environment for apps to work professionally, and takes advantage of all the capabilities of AI. For example, there’s easy navigation through documents and messages, real-time call translation, tools for creative work and sorting handwritten notes. Just beware, some of the features are only available for the core languages of English, Chinese, French, German, Japanese and Spanish for now.

As we have already mentioned, the two innovations presented are among the first flagships of the innovative Copilot+ PC concept. These are devices already designed with artificial intelligence in mind, which they fully integrate into their operation.
In addition to performance, artificial intelligence and the overall improvement of its products, Microsoft has long focused on a high level of security. And these pieces don’t lack that.
And they’re not forgetting sustainability. The devices are made from 67-72% recycled materials, with aluminium and precious metals coming exclusively from recycling. It also allows for easy repairs to avoid waste. And independent Energy Star certification confirms maximum energy-efficient operation.
