The Qualcomm Snapdragon X chipset ushered in Microsoft's Copilot+ PC initiative with excellent performance and battery life. Here are the best laptops so far.
Microsoft's Copilot+ PC initiative was ushered in by a wave of new laptops running Windows on Arm and powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X chipsets. While the new platform is aimed at leveraging the latest generative AI technologies with faster on-board Neural Processing Engines , the Qualcomm chipset's most significant promise revolves around great performance and significantly better efficiency.
First, it leverages the Snapdragon X Elite chipset to offer very good performance and outstanding battery life. It's easily the fastest Surface Pro ever, thanks to the Snapdragon X Elite's 12 cores and up to 3.4GHz clock speed. It's not the fastest laptop using that chipset, but it is the thinnest at just 0.37 inches and the lightest at 1.97 pounds. Perhaps most impressive is its battery life, where it hits 14.5 hours in our web-browsing test.
Whether you're looking at the 13.5-inch or 15-inch version, the Surface Laptop offers up some excellent performance with the Snapdragon X Elite chipset. And its battery life of 14.5 hours of web browsing and 22 hours of video looping is among the best we've seen from Windows laptops. Interestingly, although the ProArt PZ13 uses a Snapdragon X Plus chipset with just eight cores and so looks a lot slower on paper, it actually holds its own against the Surface Pro 11. That is, until you engage the Adreno GPU that's a lot slower on the Snapdragon X Plus. Even so, the ProArt PZ13 is a very fast tablet that's more than enough for demanding productivity users.
