Microsoft has introduced its new lineup of Copilot+ PCs (i.e., Windows PCs designed for AI), and with it comes the specifications and pre-order pages for two of its next-generation Surface devices for consumers, the Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7. The former is the first Surface device to feature an OLED screen, delivering the highest image quality without backlight bleeding (a problem that critics say has plagued all of the older models), while the latter is also powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X Elite and Plus chips for what Microsoft advertises as a massive boost in computing performance.

Microsoft’s Yusuf Mehdi on the state of Arm in Windows:
We now offer more native Arm64 experiences than ever before, including our fastest implementation of Microsoft 365 apps like Teams, PowerPoint, Outlook, Word, Excel, OneDrive and OneNote. Chrome, Spotify, Zoom, WhatsApp, Blender, Affinity Suite, DaVinci Resolve and many more now run natively on Arm to give you great performance with additional apps, like Slack, releasing later this year. In fact, 87% of the total app minutes people spend in apps today have native Arm versions.
