Best Copilot+ PCs in 2025: Top-rated AI laptops with Qualcomm, Intel, and AMD chips

Surface Laptop 7

Copilot+ PCs are laptops that allow you to take full advantage of Microsoft’s AI tools in Windows 11, and these are the best we’ve tested.

Copilot+ PCs take the idea ofAIPCs one step further by offering exclusive access to AI tools built into Windows 11. With all major laptop brands offering great Copilot+ laptops withQualcomm,AMD, and Intel hardware, it can be tough to figure out exactly what you need.

My top pick for most people isMicrosoft’s Surface Laptop 7, but my selection of top-rated alternatives and honorable mentions might have something better suited to your specific needs.

Best Copilot+ PCs we’ve tested in 2025

Savvy shoppers might notice that a lot of my top Copilot+ PC picks mirror those found in my roundup of thebest AI laptops. Yes, Copilot+ PCs are all AI laptops, but the reverse isn’t always true.

For example, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 that I selected as thebest 14-inch gaming laptopoption in my other roundup is considered an AI PC thanks to its Ryzen NPU andNVIDIA RTXLaptop GPU.

However, the NPU’s 16 TOPS capacity doesn’t hit the 40+ TOPS requirement for Copilot+, barring it from the category. That’s why you won’t see it in this list of the best Copilot+ PCs.

The following laptops all have an NPU powerful enough to run Windows 11’s built-in Copilot+ AI tools likeWindows Recall,Click to Do,Cocreator, and more.

Reasons to buy

+Snapdragon X Elite is incredible
+Great battery life
+Gorgeous new design
+120Hz display

Reasons to avoid

-No anti-reflective coating option
-Presence sensing features missing

Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 7 was one of the first Copilot+ PCs to be announced in May 2024.

It’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XSystems-on-Chip (SoC)with aNeural Processing Unit (NPU)capable of handling Windows 11’s AI tools, ultimately delivering excellent efficiency and snappy performance.

For the most power, I suggest opting for theSnapdragon X Elitechip, although models with theX Pluschip are still potent and cost less.

Our in-house testing with PCMark’s Application battery test saw the Laptop 7 go for more than 18 hours before needing a charge.

With the new performance hardware came a redesign, thinning out display bezels, rounding corners, blowing up the touchpad usingSensel haptics, and softening the edges.

“It’s basically perfect. It’s peak clamshell form factor. Of course, some minor areas could still be improved, but those are more subjective changes rather than objective ones. Things like adding an OLED screen is something that sounds like an upgrade on paper, but the IPS panel in here is already excellent and doesn’t run the risk of any burn-in.”

The Surface Laptop 7 comes in 13.8- and 15-inch sizes. The smaller IPS display has a 2304×1536 resolution, while the 15-inch version has a 2496×1664 resolution.

That comes out to 221 pixels-per-inch either way, and both screens offer a boxy 3:2 aspect ratio, smooth 120Hz dynamic refresh rate, touch functionality, andDolby Visionsupport.

The thinnest and lightest Copilot+ PC

Specifications

SoC:Qualcomm Snapdragon X X1-26-100NPU:Qualcomm Hexagon (45 TOPS)Memory:32GB LPDD5X-8533 (Soldered)Storage:1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDBattery:70WhDisplay:14 inches, OLED, FHD+, 60Hz, 0.2ms, 400 nits, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 600

Reasons to buy

+Refined, ultra-light, and surprisingly sturdy minimalist design
+Great selection of ports new and old
+Battery simply refuses to die
+Top-notch Windows experience

Reasons to avoid

-Slippery keyboard
-Easy to find the limits of the base Snapdragon X chipset
-Not quite the killer value we wanted it to be

The Zenbook A14 for 2025 focuses more on being as thin and light as possible rather than maximizing performance.

For those who want to travel light, the “Ceraluminum” material used for the chassis means you’re getting something that ASUS says is 300% stronger than aluminum; the Zenbook A14 is 21% lighter than the 2024 MacBook Air.

It’s built around Qualcomm’s new entry-level Snapdragon X1-26-100 SoC, complete with the standard NPU with up to 45TOPSof power for Copilot+ and other AI tools.

This chip also enhances efficiency, and you can expect, on average, more than 12 hours of battery life on a charge.

“There’s no absurd throttling being done to achieve that endurance, either. I tested the Zenbook A14 on and off the charger with identical settings, and observed a 0.7% drop in CPU performance and a 1% drop in GPU performance.”

The 14-inch display is no slouch, either. It has an OLED panel with FHD+ resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, 0.2ms response time, 400 nits brightness, and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 600 certification.

This is one great laptop for anyone who prefers to travel light, and a model with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD costsabout $999. However, an early anti-Prime Day deal at Best Buy has itdown to $649.99as of my most recent update.

Best display in a Copilot+ PC

Specifications

SoC:Up to Intel Core Ultra 7 258VNPU:48 TOPSMemory:Up to 32GB LPDDR5x-8533 (Soldered)Storage:Up to 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDBattery:75WhDisplay:14 inches, 3840×2400, OLED, touch, 750 nits (HDR peak), 100% DCI-P3, 120Hz, Dolby Vision, DisplayHDR True Black 600

Reasons to buy

+A truly marvelous visual experience
+Memorable, gorgeous, and solidly built design
+Great performance on and off the charger
+Top-notch Lenovo keyboard with some useful additions

Reasons to avoid

-Awfully stingy with only two Thunderbolt 4 ports
-Battery life takes a hit because of that overkill display
-The webcam? Absolutely terrible, also because of that overkill display

Lenovo’s Yoga Slim 9i (Gen 10) is powered byIntel’s Core Ultra (Series 2)chips, with up to a Core Ultra 7 258V, 32GB of LPDDR5x RAM, and a 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD.

The Intel CPU’s AI Boost NPU offers up to 47 TOPS of power, easily besting the 40 TOPS requirement for Copilot+. And because it has Intel Evo certification, you can expect snappy boot times, impressive everyday performance, and low standby battery drain.

A 75Wh battery is larger than you might expect to find in such a sleek laptop. Zachary Boddy tested andreviewed the Yoga Slim 9i (Gen 10), discovering that the laptop can, on average, go for about six hours on a charge without any performance or brightness compromises.

The 14-inch OLED display is really what makes this laptop great. It has a 4K resolution, it’s touch-functional, and it has a smooth 120Hz refresh rate that’s easy on the eyes.

The sRGB and DCI-P3 color gamuts get full coverage, and the panel can hit up to 750 nits brightness with HDR enabled.

“As beautiful as the physical laptop is, it’s the screen that has most consistently amazed me during my time with the Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i 14. For such a screen to be possible on a 14-inch laptop this compact is unbelievable, and you won’t find many other laptops right now that can compete.”

If it’s an industry-leading OLED display you desire, this Copilot+ PC should be a top choice.

Best convertible Copilot+ PC

Specifications

SoC:Up to Intel Core Ultra 9 288V (Series 2)NPU:48 TOPSMemory:Up to 32GB LPDDR5x (Soldered)Storage:Up to 2TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDBattery:64WhDisplay:14 inches, 2880×1800, OLED, touch, 120Hz VRR, 0.2ms response time, HDR, 500 nits

Reasons to buy

+Subtly refined design that’s even thinner and lighter than last year
+Gorgeous and smooth 120Hz 2.8K OLED display
+Intel Core Ultra Series 2 leads to amazing battery life gains
+Best-in-class keyboard and haptic touchpad

Reasons to avoid

-Mighty expensive
-HP still loads on too many unwanted programs and apps

HP’s OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 convertible laptop was released in 2024 as a successor to the Spectre x360, and it’s every bit as good (if not better).

It’s thinner and lighter, and it’s more powerful than ever thanks to the inclusion of Intel’s Core Ultra “Lunar Lake” mobile chips inside.

All of Intel’s options for the OmniBook Ultra Flip come with an NPU capable of 48 TOPS, and with up to a Core Ultra 9 288V and 32GB of LPDDR5x RAM, you can trust that the laptop will handle a relatively heavy workload.

“That is to say, this laptop runs like a dream. It’s not a powerhouse workstation for heavy-duty creative work or hardcore gaming, of course, but it’s a stellar performer considering its compact stature and flexible design.Intel Evocertification guarantees short waits when booting up, waking from sleep, or logging in, as well as fantastic standby endurance.”

The sleek convertible design allows you to use the PC as a notebook or as a tablet, and the 14-inch touch display looks and performs well either way.

It has an OLED panel for stellar color and contrast, the 2880×1800 resolution is plenty crisp, it hits a 120Hz variable refresh rate, and it can manage up to 500 nits brightness.

An early anti-Prime Day deal at Best Buy has dropped prices by $400, and you can pick up a model with Core Ultra 7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, and 3K OLED display for$1,199.99as of my most recent update.

Best 2-in-1 Copilot Plus PC

Microsoft Surface Pro 11 with Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite

5. Surface Pro 11

Most versatile Copilot+ PC for most users

Specifications

SoC:Snapdragon X Elite (X1E-80), Snapdragon X Plus (X1P-64)NPU:Qualcomm Hexagon (45 TOPS)Memory:16GB, 32GB LPDDR5x (Soldered)Storage:256GB, 512GB, 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDBattery:LCD: 48WH, OLED: 53WhDisplay:13 inches, 2880×1920 (2.8K), OLED or LCD, 3:2 aspect ratio, 120Hz, touch

Reasons to buy

+2.8K OLED touch display with inking
+The best 2-in-1 design on the market
+Starts at a competitive price
+Tons of versatility for most users
+Lots of configuration options

Reasons to avoid

-Keyboard and active pen sold separately
-No 5G connectivity until Fall 2024

Microsoft’s Surface Pro 11 was the first Copilot+ PC revealedto the world on May 20, and it should prove to be the most versatile option for most users. It retains thestellar 2-in-1 designfrom recent Surface Pro predecessors, with a fold-out stand on the back and a detachable keyboard/touchpad portion. It’s as easy to use as a tablet as it is a notebook.

The biggest news is likely the inclusion of an OLED touch display. It’s the first time that Microsoft has added an OLED option alongside the usual LCD, perfect for anyone who needs deep color and contrast. The display measures 13 inches, it has a boxy 3:2 aspect ratio ideal for a tablet, and it hits a 2880×1920 resolution. A dynamic refresh rate hits up to 120Hz, and inking support is included.

“New this year is the optionalOLED panel, which offered 550 nits of brightness in my tests and is VESA DisplayHDR 600 (high-dynamic range) compatible. This makes movies and compatible video games pop with extreme brightness (up to 900 nits, according to Microsoft). There is also support forDolby Vision, a form of HDR that enhances contrast in video content encoded in supported movies.”

On that note, the new Surface Pro Flex keyboard and Surface Slim Pen are both accessories sold separately. While many older Pro keyboards are compatible with the Pro 11, the new Pro Flex keyboard finally adds wireless connectivity, allowing you to use it when separated from the tablet.

A combination Pro Flex keyboard and Surface Slim Pen addsabout $450to the total price, but you can get the keyboard alone forabout $350.

Powering the new Surface Pro 11 is either aQualcomm SnapdragonX Elite (X1E-80) or Snapdragon X Plus (X1P-64)System-on-Chip (SoC). The more powerful X Elite is tied to the OLED display, while the X Plus comes with an LCD display. You can otherwise get up to 32GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1TB of M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe solid-state drive (SSD) that can be upgraded after purchase.

Optional5Gconnectivity to complement standardWi-Fi 7is now also available.

The best Prime Day deal I spotted during my most recent update is for a Surface Pro 11 and keyboard bundle. Instead of $1,349.99, it’s down to$999.99 at Best Buy.

Best AMD Copilot Plus PC

Asus Zenbook S 16 (UM5606) - Review 2024 - PCMag UK

6. ASUS Zenbook S 16 (UM5606)

Best Copilot+ PC with AMD hardware

Specifications

SoC:Up to AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370NPU:50 TOPSMemory:Up to 32GB LPDDR5x (Soldered)Storage:1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDBattery:78WhDisplay:16-inch 3K (2880×1800), 120Hz, OLED, touch

Reasons to buy

+Color-accurate 3K OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate
+Off-white chassis option looks great with a unique texture
+All-day battery life with traditional x86-64 processor

Reasons to avoid

-50 TOPS NPU is often idle and unused in Windows Task Manager
-Built-in touchpad shortcuts for ScreenXpert can be annoying

ASUS’ Zenbook S 16 (UM5606) was our first opportunity to testAMD’s new Ryzen AI 300 mobile CPUswith an NPU capable of up to 50 TOPS of AI power.

With up to the sizzling Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU and an integrated AMD Radeon GPU, you can expect snappy performance no matter what you’re doing. Better yet, battery life is quite good, hitting more than 13 hours in PCMark 10’s rundown benchmark.

“What stands out the most for ASUS is the fantastic value, starting from only$1,399.99 at Best Buyto bag a 120Hz OLED screen with a color-accurate display, albeit one that performs best indoors and away from natural sunlight is a total bargain when you also factor in the all-day battery life. As more apps open up to cross-platform NPUs, AMD could pull ahead of its rivals. Still, for now, ASUS benefits primarily from AMD’s powerful Radeon 800M internal graphics and Zen 5 CPU.”

The display measures up to the laptop’s impressive performance and efficiency. It’s a 16-inch OLED screen with a crisp 2880×1800 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.

In Wilson’s testing, it reached about 375 nits brightness (without HDR enabled) and hit 100% coverage for DCI-P3 and sRGB color gamuts.
