      <title>Microsoft launches lower-priced AI laptops with Qualcomm chips</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330415521/microsoft-launches-lower-priced-ai-laptops-with-qualcomm-chips</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Microsoft on Tuesday said it will release a new laptop and tablet with chips from Qualcomm at lower prices than before, aiming to get new AI features to a broader set of customers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The newest Surface 13-inch laptop and Surface Pro 12-inch tablet will go on sale on May 20, with the laptop starting at $899 and the tablet starting at $799.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both will feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Plus chips, and they will be priced slightly between competing products from Apple such as its MacBook Air, which starts at $999 and its iPads, where Air Pro models start at $649 and $999.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But Microsoft’s new offerings will be its lowest-priced yet with support for what it calls “Copilot+” features that it introduced last year. That bundle of features includes things like the ability to ask how to change the computer’s settings as a natural language question rather than sifting through settings menus or the ability to ask for an AI-generated first draft of a word document.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Microsoft has set performance computing chip requirements for the new Copilot+ label, which has meant that most of those AI features are only available on machines that cost $1,000 or more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pavan Davuluri, corporate vice president of Windows and Devices at Microsoft, said the new Surface devices are aimed at getting those features to a broader set of users, especially students or young professionals at the start of their careers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We think these new Surface Pro and laptops are for a set of customers for whom affordability is going to be important,” Davuluri told reporters during a press briefing on April 28.&lt;/p&gt;
