Microsoft launched the business versions of its Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 today. The Intel-powered PCs are more expensive and have fewer color options than their Snapdragon siblings, but there are reasons to get the pricier models.

The rumors are true. Microsoft is launching Intel-powered versions of its Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7. Available on February 18th, both of these new Surface devices are Copilot Plus PCs, but instead of using Qualcomm’s Arm-based Snapdragon X series of chips, they’ll use Intel’s Lunar Lake processors.

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.

Right now, you can snag this premium 2-in-1 for $1,300, a substantial $400 off its regular $1,700 price tag. At 24% off, this is one of the better deals we’ve seen on this latest-generation Surface Pro.
