The new laptop, launching on June 18, is the result of a collaboration between Microsoft Surface and partners including Lenovo, Acer, Dell, HP, ASUS, and Samsung. Starting at $999, the company estimates selling 50 million units within the first year.
One of the highlights is its impressive performance—58% faster than the MacBook Air with M3—combined with all-day battery life, thanks to the Qualcomm chips.
"Recall" is another impressive feature that keeps track of all actions on the device, like web browsing and voice chat. This makes it easy for users to find and get back content they've interacted with.
In a future envisioned with AI assistants running directly on our PCs, Microsoft is ready for the new era. What’s your next move, Apple?
