Microsoft's Qualcomm-Powered Surface Devices: A Game Changer for Businesses

Microsoft's Latest Innovations

Microsoft is ready to start selling its Qualcomm-powered Surface devices to businesses. Starting on September 10th, both the Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 will be available for business customers for the first time, after launching in June to consumers as part of Microsoft’s Copilot Plus PC wave of devices and its Windows on Arm push.

Specs and Features

The hardware inside the Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 for businesses will be identical to the consumer options. Businesses will be able to pick between two main options for the Surface Pro 11. There’s the 10-core Snapdragon X Plus Surface Pro 11 with 16GB of RAM, up to 512GB of storage, and the regular LCD display, or the *OLED model* with the 12-core Snapdragon X Elite, up to 32GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of storage.

The Surface Laptop 7 will be available in Snapdragon X Plus or X Elite models for the 13.8-inch variations, or just the X Elite for the larger 15-inch model. All Surface Laptop 7 models have options for up to 32GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage.

Upcoming Releases

Microsoft is also launching a 5G model of the Surface Pro 11 on September 26th, alongside a 5G variant of the Surface Pro 10 powered by Intel’s Ultra Core processors. Microsoft previously launched the Intel-powered Surface Pro 10 exclusively to business customers earlier this year, alongside the Surface Laptop 6.

New Accessories

In addition to the new Surface options for businesses, Microsoft is also releasing a new Surface Keyboard on October 3rd. The full-size keyboard includes Microsoft’s new Copilot key and an expanded keyset to cover options like call, mute, and Snip & Sketch function keys.
