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.

This move is nothing new for Microsoft—its last Surface machines followed a similar update cycle. The 2023 Surface Pro X and Surface Laptop 6 both launched with Qualcomm Arm processors, later updated with Intel chips.
