Microsoft has just announced the launch of two new Copilot+ PC-enabled Surface devices - the Surface Pro and Surface Laptop - with both devices to ship with Intel Lunar Lake V-series processors and even 5G connectivity for one of them.
Users looking for Qualcomm-based Surface devices can look towards those launched late last year.
The company is also calling all of its new Copilot+ PCs “the most secure Windows PCs ever”, with its Microsoft Pluton security processor enabled by default on all Copilot+ PCs.
This is a chip-to-cloud security technology designed by Microsoft and embedded by partners directly into the CPU, enabling Zero Trust principles at the core. This design helps protect sensitive information such as passwords, user identities and encryption keys from potential attacks. It acts as a secure vault within the computer, ensuring that even if someone gains physical access to the device, they cannot easily steal critical data.
