The World’s First Mirror Laptop Is Here
In a move that’s equal parts nostalgic and unexpected, Microsoft has quietly launched a special edition Surface Laptop inspired by The Smurfs, coinciding with the release of the franchise’s latest film. Dubbed the Surface Laptop – Smurface Edition, this unique device is now available exclusively on Amazon U.S., with only 100 units up for grabs.
While Microsoft hasn’t issued a formal press release or announced the device through its official channels, tech outlet Mashable was the first to spot the listing — confirming that yes, this is real (at least in terms of availability), and no, you’re not dreaming.
What’s Different? More Than Just a Name
At its core, the Smurface Edition is based on the affordable Surface Laptop model released in May 2024. The internal specs remain unchanged, but the exterior gets a whimsical makeover:
- Laser-printed Smurf characters on the lid, including Papa Smurf, Smurfette, and others in their signature blue.
- A custom blue-tinted Surface logo, replacing the classic silver.
- Packaging and startup experience may include subtle Smurfs-themed flourishes (though not confirmed).
It’s not a full redesign — but it’s enough to make this laptop stand out from the sea of minimalist silver devices.
Specs: A Solid Copilot+ PC, Just Smurfier
Under the hood, this is a full-fledged Copilot+ PC, meaning it’s built for AI-powered experiences in Windows 11. Here’s what you get:
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus
- NPU: 45 TOPS — enables advanced AI features like Recall, Live Captions, and Studio Effects
- RAM: 16GB
- Storage: 512GB UFS (not traditional SSD — slightly slower, but efficient)
- Display: 13.5” PixelSense touchscreen, 1920×1080 @ 60Hz
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C
- Battery Life: Up to 18 hours (thanks to ARM efficiency)
It’s not the most powerful chip in Microsoft’s Copilot+ lineup — that title goes to the Snapdragon X Elite — but the X Plus delivers excellent battery life and smooth everyday performance for browsing, office work, and media.
Who Is This For? A Very Specific Fanbase
Let’s be honest: this laptop isn’t for everyone.
It’s for the person who:
- Loves The Smurfs (especially the new movie, currently rated 4.3/10 on IMDb — oof).
- Appreciates limited-edition tech collaborations.
- Wants a functional, Windows 11 AI-ready laptop… that also makes a statement at the coffee shop.
Priced at $999.99, it costs the same as the standard model — so you’re not paying extra for the design, which is a win. But with only 100 units available, it’s clearly meant as a collector’s item or a fun marketing stunt.
Why This Matters (Yes, Really)
While it may seem like a gimmick, the Smurface reflects a growing trend: tech brands embracing pop culture to reach niche audiences. Think Sony’s Spider-Man laptops or ASUS’s ROG x Pokémon editions.
Microsoft has stayed away from such collaborations for years, favoring sleek, professional designs. But this release — quiet as it may be — could signal a shift toward more playful, limited-run devices in the future.
Plus, it’s a clever way to promote Copilot+ PCs to a broader audience — even if that audience is nostalgic for cartoon blue creatures.
How to Get It
