Surface Pro 11
If you want the best of both a tablet and a laptop in one device, the Surface Pro 11 is hard to beat. It combines a gorgeous 13-inch OLED touchscreen display with powerful internal hardware and a detachable keyboard. That gives you the option to attach a keyboard for a fantastic laptop experience for typing, or remove it and you have a lightweight tablet you can use one-handed whilst still enjoying top-tier functionality.
It’s fitted with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor which will handle even demanding tasks easily. There’s also a terabyte of speedy SSD storage and 32GB of fast memory, making sure you have all the space you need, and keeping apps snappy and responsive – no matter how many browser tabs you have open.
Surface Laptop 7 13-inch
For serious power in a compact form-factor, the Surface Laptop 7 13-inch has everything you need. It’s built around the flagship Snapdragon X Elite processor, which gives this laptop enough power to compete directly with some of the fastest MacBooks on performance, and battery life. With up to 20 hours on a single charge, this laptop can last for multiple work days and will still have some juice left when you want to relax in the evening.
The ultrathin design weighs in at just under three pounds so you can carry it around all day without it weighing you down. It’s part of Microsoft’s Copilot+ range of PCs, too, so it’s ready to accelerate the latest AI tasks and give you access to unique Windows 11 features like Recall and Cocreator.
Surface Laptop 7 15-inch
If you want more screen real estate to work with, the Surface Laptop 7 is also available in the larger 15-inch form factor. The large display is just as bright and colorful as the smaller version but has a higher resolution to maintain a crisp picture, even at the larger size. It has a 120Hz refresh rate, making every movement on screen smooth and fluid – and it’s great for some light gaming in your downtime, too.
It’s available with either the flagship Snapdragon X Elite processor, or, if you want a more affordable option without all the bells and whistles, the X Plus is equally impressive.
Surface Laptop 7 For Business 15
Professionals have a few select needs that the standard Surface Laptop 7 doesn’t cater to, which is why there’s also a specialized business version that’s well worth considering. It comes with alternative hardware options, leveraging Intel’s latest-generation Core Ultra 200 processors for incredible performance and efficiency in equal measure.
You can enjoy up to 20 hours of extensive battery life on a single charge, access to the latest networking technologies like Wi-Fi 7, and with Intel’s onboard neural processor, it’s one of the best laptops for using the latest AI. Putting security first and foremost, the Surface Laptop 7 for Business also includes additional safeguards, leveraging secure core technology to keep your business secrets as private as possible.
Surface Laptop 7 For Business 13
For workers on the go, the 13-inch Surface Laptop 7 is the perfect companion. Fitted with all the same high-powered hardware as the 15-inch model, this more compact design trims the weight to under three pounds, but still fits in a 13.8-inch display that retains the same brightness and clarity of the larger version.
With a high-powered Intel Core Ultra 200 processor, up to 32GB of fast memory, and a terabyte of SSD storage, this laptop has all the power it needs for demanding computing on the go. Its neural processor unlocks new capabilities over older laptop designs, too, including live captions, Windows cocreator, and new access to the Copilot AI in Microsoft’s 365 applications.
Microsoft Surface Pro 11 For Business
If your work means you’re often switching between a tablet and laptop, why not combine the two into one capable device? The Surface Pro 11 for Business delivers incredible performance in one of the lightest laptops we’ve ever seen. At under two pounds and with a detachable keyboard, the tablet mode is incredibly easy to use, and when you’re ready to type again, just reattach the screen and off you go.
Like the rest of the Surface Pro range, this laptop has extensive battery life, new AI capabilities powered by the onboard neural processor, and access to business-first security that protects your data locally and in the cloud.
