Microsoft announced the launch of the all-new Surface Pro and the all-new Surface Laptop to empower users in the UAE to unlock new experiences and accelerate their artificial intelligence (AI) transformation journey. The devices are part of Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs portfolio, a new category of Windows PCs designed for AI products.

Copilot+ PCs are the fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever built. With powerful new silicon capable of 40+ TOPS (trillion operations per second), all-day battery life, and access to the most advanced AI models, Copilot+ PCs achieve a level of performance never seen before.

In addition, they come with a host of cutting-edge features including Recall, which enables users to instantly find anything that they have seen on their PC. They also include Cocreator, which generates and refines AI images in real-time, and Live Captions, which instantly translates any live or pre-recorded video from 44 languages, including Arabic, into English.

Adam Labancz, Surface Category Manager at Microsoft UAE, said that the new Surface devices are for students, professionals, and enthusiasts, looking to enhance their productivity using AI.

Microsoft’s new Copilot+ PCs

The Microsoft Surface Pro 11th Edition Copilot+ PC empowers consumers with lightning-fast performance, AI-accelerated power, and an optional OLED display. Utilizing the new Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus processors, the device is 90 percent faster than the Surface Pro 9. In addition, the all-day battery life of up to 14 hours provides peace of mind for users on the go.

Similarly, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7th Edition Copilot+ PC utilizes the new Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus processors. With a completely new design, the laptop helps users be even more productive with new brighter displays with razor-thin bezels, more ports, faster connectivity with Wi-Fi 7, and up to 22 hours of battery life.

Microsoft Surface

The Microsoft Surface Pro 11th Edition Copilot+ PC and the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7th Edition Copilot+ PC will be available in the UAE starting August 27.

The price of the Microsoft Surface Pro 11th Edition Copilot+ PC will start from around AED4,099 ($1,116), while the price for the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7th Edition Copilot+ PC will start from AED 3,999 ($1,089).

Advanced security

“At Microsoft, we believe that the best way to secure information on a PC is to secure the whole PC itself. All Copilot+ PCs are Secured-core PCs, bringing advanced security to both commercial and consumer devices,” added Labancz.

In addition to the layers of protection in Windows 11, Secured-core PCs also provide advanced firmware safeguards and dynamic root-of-trust measurement to help protect from chip to cloud.

Besides, a Microsoft Pluton security processor comes by default on all Copilot+ PCs. Pluton is a chip-to-cloud security technology that helps protect credentials, identities, personal data, and encryption keys, making them significantly harder to remove from the device.

All Copilot+ PCs, including the all-new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop, will ship with Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security (ESS). This also provides more secure biometric sign-ins and eliminates the need for a password.
