Microsoft Introduced Surface Laptop Go 3
At today’s presentation, Microsoft introduced the third generation of the Surface Laptop Go. It is reported that the new product will provide up to 15 hours of battery life and will be sold at a price of $799.
The Microsoft Laptop Go 3 is similar to its predecessor, the Surface Laptop Go 2, although there are still some hardware upgrades. Instead of 11th generation Intel Core chips, the new laptop received an Intel Core i5-1235U processor. It has a 12th generation 10-core Intel processor with speeds up to 4.4 GHz and integrated Iris Xe graphics. The new chip should make the laptop “88 percent faster.”
The laptop has a 12.4-inch PixelSense touchscreen with an aspect ratio of 3:2 and a resolution of 1536 × 1024 pixels. The laptop is equipped with a 720p webcam, “studio microphones” and Omnisonic speakers with Dolby Audio support.
The set of ports is the same as last year’s model: one USB Type-A port, one USB Type-C port, a headphone jack on the left side and a proprietary Surface Connect port on the right. The fingerprint scanner is built into the power button. The laptop is equipped with wireless modules of Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 standards.
The base version still only offers 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, but a model with 16GB of RAM and the same amount of flash storage will also be available for $999.
