Microsoft's Copilot+ PC is off to a great start with the 11th-edition Surface Pro: a fantastic work tablet with a brilliant OLED screen, solid performance, and a flexible form factor.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, Microsoft’s new family of Copilot+ PCs is taking the laptop world by storm — putting the likes of the M3 MacBook Air under serious pressure with systems like the Surface Pro 11 and Asus Vivobook S 15.

Compare MacBook Air vs. MacBook Pro specs and explore the performance of the latest MacBook Air 13", MacBook Air 15", and MacBook Pro 14" with M3 chips.

Microsoft Surface ARM laptops powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100 chip claim to match or beat

The M1 MacBook Air was released in 2020, and the new Snapdragon X Elite Microsoft Surface Laptop was released this year, how do the two devices compare?
