Surface Laptop 3
Microsoft announced an update to its clamshell laptop with the Surface Laptop 3. The notebook will now come in a 15-inch size in addition to a 13.5-inch model. The 13.5-inch model will feature a quad-core Intel "Ice Lake" processor (from Intel's 10th generation)--which makes it twice as fast as the Surface Laptop 2, Microsoft said. The 15-inch model will be available as a consumer model with an AMD Ryzen “Surface Edition” processor, and as a commercial model with 10th-gen Intel processors.
Other key features include a machined aluminum finish, a 20-percent larger trackpad and improved serviceability with a removable hard drive.
The Surface Laptop 3 13.5-inch model will be available for a starting price of $999, while the 15-inch model starts at $1,199. Pre-orders begin today, and the Surface Laptop 3 models will be available Oct. 22.
