Built for AI.
Ready for business.
Surface Copilot+ PCs run AI on the device itself. Faster performance, better battery life, stronger privacy and a better day for the people using them. SCC helps you choose the right fit and put it to work across the estate.
The right laptops have became a strategic decision
For years the device was the part of IT you noticed only when it broke. AI has changed that. Intelligence now runs on the hardware, not only in the cloud, so the laptop on the desk decides how much of the new wave of work an organisation can actually use. A device bought for yesterday’s tasks will struggle with the workloads landing over the next three to five years. The question has moved on from which laptop is cheapest today to which one will still be doing the job at the end of its life.
Copilot+ PC, in plain terms
A Copilot+ PC has a dedicated neural processing unit, rated at 40 TOPS or more, built to run AI on the device. That is the hardware. A Copilot licence is the software you add on top. The two get confused often, so it is worth being clear: the device gives you the performance to run AI locally, and the licence decides which AI tools your people use. You need the right device underneath either way.

What on-device AI changes
Four things your people will feel
Add a preamble to introduce this section.
Faster performance
AI work happens on the device instead of waiting on the cloud. Up to 86% faster than the previous generation (Cinebench 2024).
Better battery life
Running AI on the NPU sips power where the CPU gulps it. Around double the battery life, so the device lasts the working day.
Stronger privacy
Data handled on the device does not have to travel. A cleaner answer for GDPR, data sovereignty and anything sensitive.
A better user experience
Live captions and translation across 40+ languages, natural-language search, precision inking and a machine that is ready the moment it wakes.
Why SCC? Independent by design, accountable by choice.
Choosing the right device is the easy part. Getting thousands of them sourced, configured, deployed, secured and supported — without disrupting the people who depend on them — is where most refresh programmes stall. That is the work SCC does, and has done at scale for decades.
We own the device from order to retirement: matching the right Copilot+ PC to each role, imaging and configuring to your standards, rolling out in waves that fit your budget windows, and supporting every unit in the field. At end of life we recover, securely wipe and responsibly recycle the lot. One partner, one line of accountability, across the entire estate.
And because we’re independent, the advice is yours — not a vendor’s script. We’ll tell you which roles need the NPU now and which can wait, so the money lands where it earns a return rather than where someone has stock to shift. That is the difference between buying hardware and running a device strategy.

Proof, not promises
Vendor claims are easy to make. Independent numbers are harder. In July 2025, Forrester ran a Total Economic Impact study of Copilot+ PCs, commissioned by Microsoft, measuring the difference against a mixed Windows 10 and Windows 11 estate – built from a composite 2,000-employee organisation.
The result
Projected 137%–367% ROI over three years and $2.9m–$7.7m in net present value. Most of that is time handed back to people – power users reclaiming up to five hours a week. The rest is drag removed: provisioning down from an hour to 15 minutes, tickets down by half, security handled at silicon level.
The number one feedback is the speed of the device and responsiveness, just being able to turn it on and have everything ready to go.

Start with a focused session
Join Microsoft and SCC for a working session on the hardware behind AI-ready work. We look at your current estate, where on-device AI earns its place and what a sensible rollout looks like. It is funded through Microsoft, so there is no charge and no obligation to buy.
What you walk away with:
- A read of your current estate and where it will struggle with AI workloads.
- Persona-based device recommendations, so you know what to put where.
- A costed outline of a phased rollout that holds your budget.
- A clear view of the first three things to do.
