Microsoft Has Officially Launched The Surface Pro 11 And Surface Laptop 7, Both Equipped With Intel Processors

Microsoft has officially launched the Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 featuring Intel processors, specifically designed to meet business needs. 

These devices will be available starting February 18, 2025, with options for Intel processors. Previously, the Qualcomm Snapdragon X variant based on Arm architecture was released. 

The Surface Laptop 7 with Intel's Lunar Lake processor comes in two display size options: 13.8 inches and 15 inches. It can be configured with either an Intel Core Ultra 5 or Ultra 7, up to 32GB of RAM, and storage options reaching 1TB. 

In terms of battery life, Microsoft claims that the 15-inch model can last up to 14 hours, while the 13.8-inch variant can achieve 12 hours of active web usage. 

The primary distinction from the Qualcomm version is the upgraded USB-A port, now featuring USB-A 3.2, while still including USB-C 4/Thunderbolt 4, Surface Connect, and an audio jack. 

The starting price for the Surface Laptop 7 (Intel) is $1,499.99 (approximately IDR 24.4 million), which is higher than the Qualcomm-based model. 

According to TheVerge on Saturday, February 1, 2025, Microsoft has also confirmed plans to launch a 5G variant of the Surface Laptop 7 later this year. 

The Surface Pro 11 with Intel processors shares an identical design with the Qualcomm variant but is priced higher, starting at $1,499.99 (around IDR 24.4 million). 

Users can choose between a 13-inch LCD or OLED display, with specifications that include Intel Core Ultra 5 or Ultra 7, up to 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. 

For connectivity, this device features two USB-C 4/Thunderbolt 4 ports and Surface Connect, but it does not include an audio jack. 

Additionally, the Intel version of the Surface Pro 11 is equipped with an NFC reader, supporting security systems such as YubiKey 5C NFC. 

The Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 with Intel processors are part of the PC Copilot Plus line, compatible with AI-based features in Windows 11, such as Recall and Windows Search AI.
