Microsoft launches a new Arm-based Surface Laptop to compete directly with Apple's MacBook laptops, equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite chip instead of Intel's Core Ultra.
The new Surface Laptop offers significant improvements, boasting 80% faster performance than its previous generation and up to 22 hours of local video playback, introducing haptic touchpad and support for three 4K monitors.
Microsoft positions the new Laptop as a 'Copilot Plus PC' with a neural processing unit for Windows 11 AI features like Recall, enabling on-device search across apps, documents, and folders exclusively for Copilot Plus PCs.
Microsoft expects these AI machines to receive Windows AI features ahead of Intel counterparts, aiming for superior battery life compared to Intel Core Ultra laptops and laying the groundwork for potential competition against Apple's custom silicon.
