The Microsoft Surface Pro 11 and the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 are both on sale for $800. They're the devices that you should get to maximize Microsoft's Copilot.

Now, there’s a surprise new model available: the Surface Pro 12. The slightly smaller tablet is a great idea in theory, offering a more compact design and a lower starting price. Unfortunately, some pricing wonkiness makes the Surface Pro 12 a lot less attractive an offer than it should be, even compared to other Surface devices you can buy.

These new Surface PCs are slightly smaller, lighter and less powerful than last year's models, but they're also advertised to last a bit longer on a charge thanks to their lowered specs. They're also less upgradable than last year's models and have slower screens. But they come in two new colors: Violet and Ocean (a pale silvery blue).
