The Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 ($999 to start) is the first Surface Laptop to ship with a Qualcomm CPU inside, and that’s a big deal for Microsoft and fans of the company’s hardware. Microsoft has found a true MacBook Air competitor.
Whether you call it the Surface Laptop 7 or Microsoft’s lengthier Surface Laptop 7th Generation, this laptop brings some powerful specs, especially if you choose to upgrade to the Snapdragon X Elite chip. It’s one of the first Microsoft Copilot+ PCs, thanks to the speedy NPU found in Qualcomm’s latest chip. This opens the Surface Laptop 7 up to various AI features that were never available on Windows devices. And the chips promise on-device AI for an added layer of security and privacy.
