Windows

Microsoft's new Surface Pro 12-inch and Surface Laptop 13-inch bring Snapdragon X2 Plus, brighter screens and a haptic Surface Mouse, but the Surface Pro's "86% recycled" enclosure claim contradicts its own footnote, which puts the real figure at 3.7%.

ASUS's new Ascent QN10 mini PC runs on Snapdragon X2 Elite, not Intel or AMD, and its 80 TOPS NPU is pitched squarely at running AI agents rather than being a small desktop.

Perplexity's Portable Computer AI agent comes to Windows on NVIDIA RTX PCs, but its 24GB VRAM requirement limits it to RTX 4090, RTX 5090, and RTX PRO Workstation-class hardware.

Microsoft's Project Zenith reconfigures Windows 11 for developer-class PCs with 64GB or more of memory, debuting exclusively on AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ platform before any other silicon partner.
