On Jan. 30, Microsoft showed off the latest Surface for Business Copilot+ PCs, Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11. Both will be on store shelves Feb. 18. Just a day earlier, the company announced all users of the Microsoft Copilot AI assistant will be able to toggle on OpenAI’s o1 model for slower, more “thoughtful” responses.

Earlier this year, Qualcomm announced Snapdragon X: a new lower-end CPU for budget laptops. Now, Microsoft is tipped to equip both the new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models with Snapdragon X or Snapdragon X Plus.

Microsoft has already scheduled a “major” Surface for Business event next week. There, we’re anticipating variants of the current Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11 CoPilot Plus PCs that have Intel’s Lunar Lake chips inside and are aimed at business customers.

After some teases and hints last week, Microsoft has officially announced the arrival of Intel -powered versions of the Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11. The new Copilot Plus PCs are coming on February 11 and targeted toward businesses.

Microsoft has announced that it's planning to launch a 5G equipped variant of the Surface Laptop later this year. This is the first time that the company is bringing 5G to its Surface Laptop line, as previously the only way to get a 5G capable Surface PC was via the Surface Pro.
