Core, South Africa’s leading distributor of premium technology products, are proud to announce that the new Surface Pro 12-inch and Surface Laptop 13-inch, both powered by Snapdragon X Plus processors, are now available to the South African business market.

This next-generation lineup of Copilot+ PCs marks a bold step into the future of computing for South African businesses, delivering exceptional performance, advanced security and harnessing the full potential of Hybrid AI to maximise productivity.

The new Copilot+ PCs, with built-in Neural Processing Units (NPUs) enable on-device AI processing, unlock seamless, intelligent experiences across Windows 11, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and a growing ecosystem of AI-enhanced applications. The compact, powerful design of these new devices, along with Snapdragon’s energy-efficient architecture, ensure powerful performance and all-day productivity for on-the-go professionals across multiple industries. They are additionally equipped with the built-in Microsoft Pluton security processor, which activates automatically to safeguard sensitive business data and ensure end-to-end protection, even if a device is misplaced.
