Everything Microsoft announced at its Surface and AI event

It was Microsoft's turn to step up to the plate and hold a fall hardware event on Thursday. Although Surface devices were the name of the game, there was a heavy -- and I mean heavy -- focus on AI. In the company's first event since longtime Chief Product Officer Panos Panay departed this week (reportedly for Amazon), Microsoft revealed a pair of new consumer laptops and a whole lot of Copilot AI news. Microsoft spent most of the event talking about AI and Copilot. In fact, the hardware almost seemed like an afterthought.
