Microsoft recently unveiled its newest lineup of Surface devices, introducing the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6. These devices showcase a design similar to their predecessors but mark Microsoft's debut in incorporating Intel Meteor Lake processors with integrated NPUs for on-device AI capabilities.
New Features and Target Audience
The latest Surface devices boast a notable addition - the dedicated Copilot key on the keyboard. These models are specifically tailored towards business usage, distinguishing themselves as "the first Surface AI PCs exclusively designed for business."
Microsoft Surface Pro 10 Overview
