Both will feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Plus chips, and they will be priced slightly between competing products from Apple such as its MacBook Air, which starts at $999 and its iPads, where Air Pro models start at $649 and $999.

But Microsoft’s new offerings will be its lowest-priced yet with support for what it calls “Copilot+” features that it introduced last year. That bundle of features includes things like the ability to ask how to change the computer’s settings as a natural language question rather than sifting through settings menus or the ability to ask for an AI-generated first draft of a word document.

Microsoft has set performance computing chip requirements for the new Copilot+ label, which has meant that most of those AI features are only available on machines that cost $1,000 or more.

Pavan Davuluri, corporate vice president of Windows and Devices at Microsoft, said the new Surface devices are aimed at getting those features to a broader set of users, especially students or young professionals at the start of their careers. 

“We think these new Surface Pro and laptops are for a set of customers for whom affordability is going to be important,” Davuluri told reporters during a press briefing on April 28.
