Microsoft has just launched the new Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 duo, marking the first time the Surface line has a PC Copilot+ equipped with an Intel Lunar Lake chip.
However, these Microsoft devices are only for business customers and have a fairly high starting price of $ 1,499 (about 37.6 million VND). The two new Surface models will be sold alongside the current Snapdragon chip versions. However, the Intel chip products will only be sold through Microsoft's business channel and other commercial channels.

The Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 running on Intel chips can be configured with Intel Core Ultra 5 or Ultra 7 series 2 chips, 16GB or 32GB RAM, with 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of internal memory. These devices are also integrated with NPU (Neural Processing Unit) by Microsoft with 40 TOPS (Ultra 5) or 48 TOPS (Ultra 7) performance and all meet Copilot+ standards.
In terms of design, the Intel and Snapdragon versions are almost identical, with only a few minor differences. Both the Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 run on Intel chips with anti-reflective screens. The Surface Laptop 7 also has a card reader version, and the Surface Pro 11 has built-in NFC. In addition, the Surface Laptop 7 will have a 5G version by the end of 2025 (previously only the Surface Pro had 5G).

The Intel models are only available in Platinum and Black, while the other colors are reserved for the Snapdragon versions. The Intel models are also significantly more expensive, starting at $1,499, compared to $1,099 for the enterprise Snapdragon models. That means you’ll pay $400 more for an Intel-powered Surface Pro or Laptop, in exchange for an anti-reflective display and x86 compatibility.
This is the second time Microsoft has launched Surface devices specifically for business customers. The previous devices were the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 with Intel Core Ultra series 1 chips, using old designs. The Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 duo running Intel chips are available for pre-order, expected to start shipping from February 18, with a starting price of $ 1,499 (about 37.6 million VND).
