But is it a normal Windows PC that supports normal Windows software or the weird abomination they had last time that supported a few specific apps and nothing else?

Yeah I was going to say. The very first Surfaces in 2012-2013 were ARM-based (using Nvidia Tegra), then they switched to Intel, then they tried ARM again in 2019-2020 (using Qcom Snapdragon) then went back to Intel again. Third times the charm?

At the very least they seem to have decent x86 emulation performance this time.

Wow, I’m continually floored by how bad Intel shit the bed.

I remember not too long ago the only computer you would see is a “wintel” with a few esoteric graphic designers in Mac.

I guess it’s now “warm”?

I hope the Snapdragon D3D12 drivers come with actually working H265 video support, unlike on AMD where this is broken and no one seems to bother to fix it.

If they're true to the demo, the new Surface devices look impressive, with the Surface Pro clearly pushing in the direction that most have wanted the iPad Pro to go for some time. Microsoft has clearly been baking AI into their laptops and the updated Windows 11. Will be interesting to see what Apple has up their sleeves next month.

And Apple was forced to move the Mac to X64. Intel was completely dominant 15 years ago.

> Microsoft calls the new Laptop a “Copilot Plus PC”

I'd rather have a reliable ARM device, sans Copilot - which MS hasn't proved they're capable of yet.

> Whether these computers can match or outdo Apple’s custom silicon remains to be seen

I would be shocked if this were ever the case.
