![]() The Surface Go 2, like the Surface Go, is Microsoft’s ultraportable tablet. Unfortunately, though, the ports remain static, too: a pair of USB-A, one USB-C (with power delivery) and a full-size SD slot. Unlike the Surface Laptop 3, key travel remains at 1.55mm for the keyboard, making it one of the best in the industry. The Surface Book 3 should be able to accommodate multiple 4K monitors with ease.Ī number of things have remained unchanged, for better or worse. Battery life should remain pleasantly massive: up to 15.5 hours for the 13.5-inch device, and up to 17.5 hours for the 15-inch device, about the same as before. It gets a little crazier in memory and storage: up to 32GB LPDDR4X memory, and a 2TB SSD option for United States customers. So yes, there will be support for ray tracing-even it the GPU is designed for creation, not gaming, and is a slower Max-Q option at that. At the high end, there will also be Nvidia Quadro RTX GPU options, too, for those seeking more traditional workstation-like performance. Otherwise, the Core i5-1035G7 and Core i7-1065G7 options will be married to either an Nvidia GTX 1650 (Max-Q) or GTX 1660 Ti (Max-Q). Because the cheapest Core i5 Surface Book 3 doesn’t use a dedicated GPU, it relies on Ice Lake’s graphics-meaning that Microsoft’s couldn’t go with the faster, CPU-only Comet Lake alternative. ![]() Both the 13.5-inch and 15-inch Surface Book 3s are based on Intel’s recent “Ice Lake” 10th-gen chips, both well-regarded mobile processors with integrated graphics (though AMD’s Ryzen Mobile 4000 chips look even better). The design allows for dual batteries as well as a discrete GPU.įor that price, Microsoft’s offering a premium, but not too premium, experience. ![]() The Surface Book lineup is unique: there’s currently no other detachable 2-in-1 in the industry. The Surface Book 3 will ship May 21, in both the 13.5-inch and 15-inch form factors of its predecessor, the Surface Book 2. The Surface Book 3 won’t be cheap: Prices will start at $1,599. ![]() Microsoft’s Surface Book has always been the company’s flagship 2-in-1, combining the power of a workstation with a unique design that marries a tablet with a traditional clamshell form factor. ![]()
