    Microsoft’s Copilot+ Surface devices are finally coming to business users. Here’s what’s new

With it, you won’t have to worry about not having connectivity or being unable to show teammates the project you’re working on outside the office. 5G support allows users to enjoy high-speed internet wherever they go. Of course, all the features that make these devices great are making a return. Also: How to use Microsoft Copilot (formerly called Bing Chat)The Surface Pro 10 will still be powered by an Intel Ultra Core processor, ensuring “versatility [and] fast performance.” The glass remains covered in an anti-reflective coating for better outdoor visibility, and the device is rated to have a 14-hour battery life.The Surface Pro 11 is part of the Copilot+ PC series, much like the consumer-level model.
