The "CoPilot+ PC" Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 became available since June 2024. We tested them in June but were rather disapointed with the performance: we got only 17 FPS on the X Elite model with OpenGL implementation Mesa 24.1.0. Now a few months have passed and we found some good performance increase: we now get 50 FPS with Mesa 24.3.0!
Microsoft has probably also optimized the Prism emulator to give the performance boost. There is still on ARM-native version of Expresii so we still need to rely on the Prism emulator. If you want to use Sufrace Pro 11 for Expresii, make sure you use the X Elite model instead of the X Plus model, because the latter only gives 22 FPS now. Also, note that the new Surface Laptop 7 DO NOT support pen input (older models of Surface Laptop do). If you want smooth performance for painting, you should pick up older models like the Surface Pro 8 i5, which can give 100+ FPS.
