Microsoft has launched two new Surface devices/computers exclusively for its business customers. One of them is a laptop called the Surface Laptop 6. The other is a 2-in-1 called the Surface Pro 10.
As is the case with most computers launching today, both Surface devices have AI as a big marketing sell. Microsoft in fact is taking a step further by also adding a dedicated “Copilot” key to both the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6, to enable swift access to its AI assistant.
Both the new Surface devices feature an “anti-reflective” display and Intel Core Ultra processors. Microsoft says the Surface Pro 10 is its first Intel-based machine to offer 5G connectivity.
