Microsoft Surface Laptop 13in
Better emulate than never
LAPTOP | £899 & £999 from Microsoft www.snipca.com/55309
As you’d expect, the Surface Laptop 13in fully meets Microsoft’s Copilot+ standard. Its Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus processor includes a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that enhances performance with AI-powered tools. The laptop also runs a special version of Windows that comes with exclusive AI features, such as the Cocreater app, which can generate impressive artwork from simple sketches.
A sleek laptop with a great screen and battery, but limitations will curb appeal
Because it uses a Qualcomm chip, this Surface Laptop runs a different version of Windows from Intel- or AMD-based machines. As a result, it relies on an emulator for certain programs, and some software — particularly security tools and games — may not work at all. Qualcomm maintains a list of compatible software at www.snipca.com/54033, and you can also search the database at https://windowsonarm.org to check specific titles.
