Microsoft Offloads Surface Pro (512GB SSD, X Plus) at a New Low, Black Friday Starts Early - Kotaku
"The Snapdragon X Plus processor with 10 cores marks a major change in Windows computing: It offers performance that competes with Apple's M3 chip while using less power. This ARM-based design runs cooler and more efficiently than traditional Intel or AMD processors. It leads to a 14-hour battery life which makes all-day work sessions feasible without searching for outlets. The integrated NPU processes AI tasks locally on your device: It handles Copilot+ features without sending your data to the cloud, and keeps your information private"
"The laptop versus tablet debate has frustrated professionals for years, forcing compromises between portability and productivity that never quite satisfy either need. Microsoft's Surface Pro eliminates that choice by delivering a fantastic 2-in-1 device that excels as both a full-powered Windows laptop and a sleek tablet you can hold with one hand. Early Black Friday deals have hit the entire Surface Pro lineup hard with discounts ranging from 20 to 30% across"
Microsoft's Surface Pro combines a full-powered Windows laptop and a one-handed tablet in a single 2-in-1 design. Early Black Friday pricing cuts of 20–30% reduce configurations across LCD and OLED displays, Snapdragon X Plus and X Elite processors, and storage/RAM options; one 16GB/512GB Snapdragon X Plus model fell from $1,199 to $949. The Snapdragon X Plus delivers 10-core ARM performance competitive with Apple's M3 while drawing less power, enabling about 14 hours of battery life. An integrated NPU handles Copilot+ AI locally for privacy and speed. Native ARM apps run well and updated emulation supports most x86 software. The 2880 x 1920 3:2 touchscreen provides extra vertical space for documents and spreadsheets.
