The Microsoft Build conference is almost here (May 21–23, 2024) and it will be hyper-focused on Windows on ARM, and all the current and upcoming AI features we will see this year. We’ve heard rumors of a next-gen Microsoft Surface featuring Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite chipset, as the company appears hellbent on knocking Apple’s MacBook Air off its ultra-portable throne. Having seen the X Elite in action, it’s highly possible this could happen and bring renewed interest to Microsoft's Surface laptops.
Earlier today Microsoft put out a list of all the developer sessions planned for build mentioning “the next generation of Windows on Arm” and brand new “Windows AI features.” The next-gen session listing included details referring to industry-leading performance for applications, which allude to Microsoft's intentions of delivering a smackdown to Apple’s M3, and with all the leaked benchmarks we’ve seen that show the X Elite wiping the floor with it, and having been hands-on with it, yeah this could definitely be true.
