Other than that, the Surface Laptop 7 for Business is identical to its regular variant spec-wise. It has the same batteries, haptic trackpads, keyboards, displays, webcams, etc.
With the launch of the Surface Laptop 7 for Business, Microsoft"s commercial Surface computers offer both Intel and ARM variants (the Surface Laptop 6 for Business with Intel Core Ultra processors launched in March 2024) to meet the needs and demands of each customer:
