Surface PCs powered by ARM, featuring Qualcomm Snapdragon X series processors, offer fast startup times, exceptional battery life, and reliable performance for demanding tasks. These devices are designed to be energy-efficient, allowing for all-day productivity without compromising on speed.

ARM-based Surface devices support a wide range of applications both natively and through optimized emulation. Microsoft collaborates with over 300 developers to ensure key productivity, creativity, and entertainment apps run smoothly. The new Prism emulation engine enhances performance, allowing emulated apps to run faster than on older Surface models.

Surface PCs incorporate robust security features, including the Microsoft Pluton security processor and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0. These devices follow zero-trust principles throughout their architecture, ensuring that biometric data is protected with Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security, which is enabled by default.
