Core Launches Microsoft Surface Pro 12-inch and Surface Laptop 13-inch in South Africa

Core, South Africa’s leading distributor of premium technology products, officially launched the Microsoft Surface Pro 12-inch and Surface Laptop 13-inch, both powered by the advanced Snapdragon X Plus processors, for South African businesses. With this launch, the next-generation lineup of Copilot+ PCs delivers exceptional performance, robust security, and leverages Hybrid AI to maximize productivity for professionals across industries.

Next-Generation Performance with AI

In addition, the new Copilot+ PCs feature built-in Neural Processing Units (NPUs) that enable powerful on-device AI processing. As a result, users can seamlessly integrate them with Windows 11, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and an expanding ecosystem of AI-enhanced applications, enjoying intelligent, responsive experiences tailored for modern business needs.

Snapdragon’s energy-efficient architecture ensures all-day productivity. Moreover, both models include the Microsoft Pluton security processor, which safeguards sensitive business data and provides end-to-end protection, even if a device is misplaced.

Core’s Role as Microsoft’s Distributor

As Microsoft’s official commercial distributor for Surface devices in South Africa, Core provides resellers and businesses with real-time stock availability, next-day delivery, competitive trade pricing, and comprehensive support services. Consequently, Core ensures that businesses can quickly adopt these new technologies.

“Hybrid AI is the future,” said John Press, Microsoft Surface Business Unit Head at Core. “With Copilot+ PCs, we’re redefining performance, intelligence, and battery life for professionals, students, and creators in South Africa.”

Empowering South African Businesses

The Surface for Business lineup caters to every working style. For instance, the Surface Laptop offers a sleek, dependable solution for everyday productivity, while the Surface Pro combines tablet versatility with laptop performance, making it ideal for on-the-go professionals. Additionally, for users who need to stay connected while traveling, Microsoft will launch the Surface Laptop with 5G later this year, providing reliable high-speed connectivity anywhere.
