Surface Laptop 7: Breakthrough with Snapdragon X Chip, AI Copilot+, and New Design

Microsoft has officially unveiled the Surface Laptop 7, one of the first Windows laptops to feature Qualcomm's Snapdragon X chip. The combination of a new design, powerful performance, and advanced AI features promises to deliver a completely different user experience.

The new PC Copilot+ initiative is the next phase of the "AI PC" that Microsoft has been promoting in recent months. PC Copilot+ can perform a number of next-generation AI experiences exclusive to these PC models, including the new Windows Recall feature, which can remember everything you see and do on your PC, real-time language translation, and enhanced Windows Studio Effects.

In fact, this laptop is more powerful than the Surface Laptop 6 for Business, which comes with Intel’s latest Core Ultra processors.

The Surface Laptop 7 is available in two screen sizes: 13-inch and 15-inch. However, the 13-inch model has a slightly larger screen compared to the Surface Laptop 5, increasing from 13.5 inches to 13.8 inches, thanks to thinner bezels.

The new generation features thinner display bezels with rounded screen corners, as well as an updated keyboard with a larger haptic touchpad provided by Sensel. The laptop also features changes to its ports, including: 1 USB-A, 2 USB-C, 1 headphone jack, and 1 Surface Connect.

The new Surface Laptop offers multiple configuration options, starting with 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD storage with the Snapdragon X Plus chip, but storage can be increased to a 1TB SSD and 32 GB of RAM (the 64 GB RAM version is available as a pre-order only) on both the 13.8-inch and 15-inch versions (including the Snapdragon X Elite chip version). Both versions are equipped with the Qualcomm Adreno GPU.
