The Microsoft Surface Laptop 13-inch is the tech brand’s lightest and thinnest laptop yet. And, it’s got the brains to match its beauty. Weighing in at just 1.22 kg and measuring a mere 15.6 mm thick, it’s your sleek sidekick for work, play, and everything in between.
With its vibrant 13-inch touchscreen, supercharged Snapdragon X Plus processor, and up to 23 hours of battery life, it’s built for all-day brilliance. The new dedicated Copilot key also gives you instant access to Microsoft’s AI assistant, ready to answer questions, draft documents, or help you stay on top of tasks. And because it’s a Copilot+ PC, it also comes packed with some seriously futuristic features you’ll want to try right away. Here are 11 things you can do to unlock the full potential of your new Microsoft Surface Laptop.
1. Time travel (kind of) with Recall
Ever lost a file and couldn’t remember where you saved it? With Recall, you can “go back in time” to find something you were working on. Even if you forgot the name. It’s like having a digital memory assistant that’s smarter than your real one.
2. Just describe it. Your Surface will find it.
Whether it’s a file, a photo, or a setting buried deep in your PC, the improved Windows search engine will dig it up if you just type what you remember. No more endless clicking around.
3. Interact with your screen like magic
Click to Do (preview) lets you interact with content right on your screen. Think: copying text from an image or getting suggested actions – without opening a new app. Touchscreens have never felt this clever.
4. Make art with Cocreator
Cocreator is your new AI-powered art partner. Type an idea, sketch a shape, and let it help you turn your concept into digital art. It’s creativity with a turbo boost.
5. Give your photos an AI glow-up
Remix and Restyle Image let you reimagine your pictures with AI-generated artistic filters. Think watercolour portraits or dreamy illustrated versions of your favourite selfies.
6. Browse smarter with Edge
The Microsoft Edge browser comes with AI-powered tools like summarising web pages, highlighting key info, and even generating content – no need to switch tabs or apps.
7. Edit like a pro with AI apps
Take your pick of AI-enhanced apps like CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, DJay Pro, and LiquidText. Whether you’re editing videos, making music, or annotating documents, the on-device Neural Processing Unit (NPU) can handle it.
8. Design with Microsoft Designer
This easy-to-use AI tool helps you whip up stunning graphics and social posts. No design degree required. It’s Canva meets Copilot.
9. Boost your productivity in Microsoft 365
Enjoy all the classic Office tools with a futuristic twist, thanks to Copilot in Word, Excel, and Outlook. It’s like having a virtual assistant who also happens to be a spreadsheet genius.
10. Sync your phone for seamless multitasking
Link your Android or iPhone to your Surface to send messages, take calls, and access photos from your laptop. It’s all about making your devices play nice.
11. Stay secure, the smart way
Use Windows Hello to log in with your face or fingerprint, and say goodbye to passwords with a secure passkey for your Microsoft account. Plus, you can enable multi-factor authentication for added peace of mind.
The Surface Laptop 13-inch isn’t launching solo. It’s part of Microsoft’s new Copilot+ PC lineup, which also includes the Surface Pro 12-inch – a powerful tablet-meets-laptop hybrid that’s equally ready to go wherever you are. Both devices are built for performance and sustainability, featuring recycled materials, long battery life, and repair-friendly designs.
Whether you’re sketching on the couch, taking video calls in the kitchen, or powering through a project on a plane, the new Surface range is designed to keep up with your life. And, maybe even make it a little easier. (Or a lot easier, if you’re into AI doing the heavy lifting.)
