Microsoft Goes Zero-Profit on Surface Laptop (1TB SSD, X Elite, 15"), Now $700 Off in Black Friday's Final Hours - Kotaku
"this powerful 15-inch Surface Laptop with a Snapdragon X Elite processor, 16GB of RAM, and a huge 1TB SSD. Instead of the usual $1,699, this Copilot+ PC costs $999 ($700 off) which puts it in the premium range without the high price tag. This isn't just another laptop deal: it's Microsoft's first big step into AI-enhanced computing for regular people and the hardware that comes with it actually lives up to those promises."
"This Surface laptop has a Snapdragon X Elite processor, which is a big change from Intel or AMD chips. Microsoft says that it works better than the MacBook Air M3. Benchmarks show that it does, but the 12-core architecture makes it surprisingly easy to do more than one thing at once. When you have a lot of browser tabs open, music streaming, and documents open at the same time, you'll notice this the most."
The 15-inch Surface Laptop with a Snapdragon X Elite, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD is discounted from $1,699 to $999. The Snapdragon X Elite replaces traditional Intel or AMD chips and delivers strong benchmark performance, with a 12-core architecture that improves multitasking when many tabs, streams, and documents are open. An integrated NPU performs AI workloads locally instead of in the cloud, enabling faster real-time translation, image processing, and enhanced data privacy while allowing many Copilot+ features to run offline. The Snapdragon design also yields high efficiency, enabling battery life up to around 20 hours for extended use.
