Everything Microsoft Announced at Its 2023 Hardware Event: Surface Laptop Studio 2, Surface Laptop Go 3, Copilot in Windows

Microsoft held a media event in New York City this morning. The company used the occasion to show off two new laptops from its house-made Surface line as well as a slew of AI-powered enhancements coming to Windows 11 later this month. The hour-long presentation was not livestreamed, but we were there to hear the announcements, watch the demos, and go hands-on with the new devices. The Surface hardware announced today is currently available for preorder at Microsoft.com and will officially go on sale starting October 3. Copilot, Microsoft's new AI-powered assistant that was announced earlier this year, is getting fully baked into Windows. Think of it as a side panel you can bring up in practically any part of Windows 11, even in the Edge browser. Its purpose is to help with mundane everyday tasks.
