Microsoft has unveiled an updated Surface Laptop that runs on ARM for the first time.
The base version of the 13.8-inch laptop is equipped with a 10-core Snapdragon X Plus chip, which has a built-in neural processor capable of processing 45 trillion operations per second.
The 15-inch version is equipped with a 12-core Snapdragon X Elite with the same neural engine. This processor can also be installed in a model with a smaller screen diagonal.
At the base, both laptops have 16 GB of RAM, a 256 GB SSD, a 120 Hz screen with Dolby Vision IQ support, two USB-C and one USB-A 3.1 ports, and a 1080p camera.
Microsoft says the new Surface Laptop is 80% faster than the current generation and can run for 22 hours in video mode. Additionally, the Surface Laptop is 58% faster than the M3-powered MacBook Air.
These laptops run Windows 11, which has several new features powered by Copilot AI. Among them, video calls are translated for the first time and a quick search for files in the system is carried out. All operations are performed locally on the device.
ARM laptops will receive new Windows AI features earlier than Intel models.
Prices for Surface laptops with a 13.8-inch screen start at $999 (~90 thousand rubles). The standard Surface Laptop 15 will cost $1,199 (~108 thousand rubles). Pre-orders are already open, sales start on June 18. [The Verge]
