3 reasons you should not buy the Surface Pro 11 or Surface Laptop 7 with Intel (and 1 reason you should)

Microsoft Surface Pro 11 with Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite.

Normally when Microsoft launches a new Surface device, there's quite a bit of fanfare. But that's not the case today. Despite the fact that new models of the Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 start shipping today, you likely won't see big-name YouTubers doing unboxing videos or a wave of reviews pop up within a minute of each other. That's because the new Surface devices are meant for business customers. They feature Intel Core Ultra 5 or Ultra 7 series 2, come in unassuming packaging, and are designed with businesses in mind.

The new models of the Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 look nearly identical to the Snapdragon-powered counterparts. There are some differences, such as the Intel versions having anti-reflective screens. The Surface Pro with an Intel chip also has NFC built-in, which is handy for business users.
