When we reviewed the 2024 Surface Laptop, we gave it a four-star rating and our expert appreciated its attractive design, superb battery life, and good performance on an everyday basis.
This 7th edition of the Surface Laptop features the powerful 12-core Snapdragon X Elite CPU and 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM, making it part of Microsoft's new line-up of Copilot laptops. There's also a 1TB SSD on board, which should be enough storage space for all the apps, games, and whatever files you need on the daily.
That Snapdragon X Elite processor is what allows this laptop to be so slim (0.72 inches), lightweight (3.67 pounds), and performant while delivering such long battery life (up to 20 hours on a charge). And because it's a Copilot PC, this laptop has an NPU that will support all the AI features that are coming to Windows 11 this year.
As of now, this is as cheap as it gets for a 15-inch Copilot laptop that packs this much power. If you want to be set for the next few years, this is a great opportunity to save $460 on this Surface Laptop!

ChatGPT has had support for voice conversations since the end of 2023, but if you're new to OpenAI's chatbot, figuring out how to converse with it can be tricky since there are a couple of ways to go about it. In this guide, I'll explain the main differences between ChatGPT's two voice modes and how to use both of them.
What is ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode?
As of the writing of this article, OpenAI offers two different ways of interacting with ChatGPT using your voice: "Standard" and "Advanced." The former is available to all users, with usage counting against one's message limit. "Advanced," meanwhile, has more granular restrictions.
As a free user, OpenAI offers a monthly preview of the tool. Subscribing to the company's $20 per month Plus plan allows you to use Advanced Voice daily. OpenAI notes daily limits may change, but either way, the company promises to notify users 15 minutes before they're about to hit their usage cap. Pro users can use Advanced Voice as much as they want, provided they do so in a way that's "reasonable" and complies with the company's policies.
Outside of those limits, the primary difference between the two modes is the sophistication of the underlying models powering them. Per OpenAI, Advanced Voice is natively multi-modal, meaning it can process more than just text input. In practice, this translates to Advanced Voice offering capabilities that aren't possible with Standard Mode, which is limited to reading a transcript of what

The Biden administration has unveiled its "AI diffusion rule," which aims to restrict the export of GPUs that are most coveted for AI applications. Although it does not mention the nation by name, it's broadly viewed as a means to prevent China from outpacing the US in AI development.
The rule proposes three licensing tiers. The first tier is unrestricted and includes the domestic market as well as 18 strategic allies. The majority of countries fall into a second tier, which will have caps on how much compute power they can import via top GPUs from the US. The third tier includes China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, and effectively bars US companies from selling their most powerful GPUs there.
US-based companies would also be prevented from sharing many details of their AI software models with countries outside that first tier, and would need to ask permission from the federal government before building large data centers in any tier two nation.
Many parties, including the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), issued statements condemning the decision, believing that the restrictions will do more to push nations towards working with China. "The new rule risks causing unintended and lasting damage to America's economy and global competitiveness in semiconductors and AI by ceding strategic markets to our competitors," SIA wrote.
NVIDIA also objected, with Ned Finkle, the company's Vice President of Government Affairs, saying the Biden Administration "seeks to undermine America's leadership with a 200 page regulatory m
