Microsoft has introduced the newest additions to its Surface for Business Copilot+ PC line, including the Surface Pro and the Surface Laptop, both of which come with the latest Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) or Snapdragon processors. For the first time, the computers will also come with an option for 5G connectivity, set for availability later in 2025. The PCs will be available starting February 18, 2025.
The new Surface Copilot+ PCs for Business feature Microsoft 365 Copilot and enhanced AI processing power.
The Surface Laptop for Business with Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2) starts at an MSRP of $2,170 in Canada and comes equipped with a battery that lasts for an impressive up to 22 hours. With an anti-reflective display, ultra-thin bezel, Wi-Fi 7, plenty of ports, and an optional smart card reader, it comes with a 13.8-inch display with a larger viewing area than traditional 14-inch screens or a 15-inch model.
When compared to Surface Laptop 5, the new Surface Laptop delivers up to 26% faster performance for multi-tasking, up to two times faster graphics performance, up to three times the battery life when on Teams calls, and can easily power new AI-powered experiences through the NPU.

The keyboard provides comfort, speed, and sound with every keystroke, complemented by the large precision haptic touchpad that delivers realistic feedback when tapped or clicked. You can adjust pressure sensitivity and use intuitive touch gestures for easier navigation.
The new Surface Laptop contains more recycled content than any other Surface device including 100% recycled rare earth metals in the magnets and featuring a battery cell to make use of 100% recycled cobalt.
As noted, Microsoft is, for the first time ever, adding cellular connectivity to the line, which would allow team members to work from virtually anywhere, even without a Wi-Fi connection. More details are to come about this feature, which will be available later in 2025.
Also starting at $2,170, the Surface Pro for Business with Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2) affords enterprise-grade security from Microsoft. You can leverage accessories like a Surface Pro Keyboard, Surface Slim Pen, and AI-powered ultrawide camera.
Microsoft says this computer delivers up to 28% more performance, up to 98% more graphics performance, and up to two times the battery life during Teams calls compared to Surface Pro 9. It also features enhanced local AI processing power with an NPU.
When paired with the Surface Pro Flex Keyboard, Surface Pro becomes a versatile Windows laptop. The keyboard can be used either attached or wirelessly, allowing you to adapt quickly and work efficiently in any environment, from the office to an airplane or train seat.

The 13-inch PixelSense display is designed to be used easily with touch and pen input as a tablet or a laptop, and the anti-reflective and adaptive colour technology helps you clearly see the content on the screen in almost any lighting environment, reducing reflections by up to 50%. The new optional OLED display delivers new levels of peak brightness and immersive colours that improve readability in fluorescent office lighting environments or even in direct sunlight.
Surface Pro also offers versatile and secure sign-in options. Customers can sign in with facial recognition with the built-in Windows Hello Camera or the built-in NFC reader with security keys like the YubiKey 5C NFC to securely get to work without using a password. Surface Pro is also certified for use with Imprivata Enterprise Access Management (EAM), enabling healthcare providers to tap their NFC-enabled badge or security key to quickly sign in and out. This enhances healthcare workflows and safeguards patient data by logging users off instantly, says Microsoft, reduces errors by preventing clinicians from charting under the wrong profile, and increases productivity by providing fast and secure user switching.
The enclosure is made with a minimum of 89% recycled content, including 100% recycled aluminum alloy and 100% recycled rare earth metals. It is also designed for serviceability, with replaceable components such as the motherboard, battery, cameras, and a removable SSD that can be accessed through an easy-to-open door behind the kickstand.
Microsoft says Copilot+ PCs are the most secure Windows PCs ever, with the Microsoft Pluton security processor enabled by default on all Copilot+ PCs. Pluton, a chip-to-cloud security technology designed by Microsoft and embedded by silicon partners directly into the CPU, ensures 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.
Pluton receives regular updates directly from Microsoft, ensuring it always has the latest security features and protections against evolving threats. Microsoft is also working across the Windows ecosystem to update the capabilities of Pluton by introducing the Key Storage Provider (KSP) on Intel Core Ultra (Series 2), Snapdragon X Series, and AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processors. This will allow for more secure storage and management of cryptographic keys, further strengthening the overall security of the device. Microsoft says it will share more details on this in the coming months.
The PCs will feature access to some new AI features that Microsoft announced at Ignite. This includes a new Windows Search experience that allows you to find files using associated words and phrases, ideal if you don’t recall the exact file name or content for both local and active OneDrive for Business files. You could even use a keyword as simple as “green presentation,” for example, to find what you need.
