Microsoft hasn't convinced me to consider a Surface PC since the beginning of 2020, when I purchased the first-generation Surface Pro X and used it to establish my career as a journalist. I absolutely loved the design and form factor of the Surface Pro X, but I ultimately resigned it to its box because it simply didn't have enough power, and Microsoft at the time seemed content to let Windows on ARM languish in the background.
That all changed this week. Finally, Windows on ARM doesn't feel like an afterthought, and Surface PCs actually feel exciting again. During a dedicated Surface and AI event, Microsoft kicked off a new generation of Windows PC, one that puts ARM chips and AI at the forefront. The Surface Pro 11 is among the first wave of these new "Copilot+ Windows PCs," and it's everything I've wanted from a Surface Pro for years.
