With AI being such a big driving force behind tech, you can find it in nearly everything nowadays. So, if you’re looking for one of the best laptops on the market with Microsoft Copilot, then this Microsoft Surface Pro configuration is the way to go. In fact, you can even get a solid $200 discount on it from Best Buy, which knocks the price down to $1,300 from $1,500, making it quite an excellent pick if you’re looking for something that’s just as portable as a laptop but with more power.

Microsoft Surface Pro

Microsoft has started rolling out the latest 24H2 update for all Windows 11 PCs, especially ones with a Snapdragon X Elite chipset, which this tablet has. This new update makes Copilot+ laptops useful for AI with a lot of new features such as AI-powered Windows search, better photo manipulation tools in Paint and Photos, and the new “Click to Do,” which gives you a contextual menu based on what is already on the screen. Besides these new AI features, the Snapdragon X Elite should easily handle most of your day-to-day and productivity tasks with relative ease.

Besides that, this laptop comes with a gorgeous 13-inch OLED screen that runs a 2880 x 1920 resolution for you to work with, which makes it a generally light and easy-to-carry-around laptop. The 16GB of RAM is also pretty excellent and will give you a smooth experience, while the 512GB of storage should be more than enough. You can also supplement that with one of these external hard drive deals if you want to, but you should be fine for the most part. Luckily, the detachable keyboard is also included in this package, so you can use it like a traditional laptop without buying extra hardware.

Overall, there’s a lot to love about the Microsoft Surface Pro, and if you’re a fan of CoPilot+, then this deal from Best Buy that knocks $200 off is likely right up your alley. That said, if you’re not entirely sure if it’s for you, then you may also want to check out these other excellent laptop deals for some alternatives.
