Both new Surface devices carry the “Copilot+ PC” designation Microsoft gives to high-end computers with a so-called neural processing unit. It handles things like real-time translation in video calls or image generation, freeing up the CPU — in this case, Qualcomm Inc.’s Snapdragon X Plus — for other tasks.

Microsoft unveils the all-new 12" Surface Pro and 13" Surface Laptop — AI-powered, ultra-light Copilot+ PCs with long battery life, starting at $799.
