Microsoft plans to offer a 15-inch version of the Surface Laptop. Like its smaller sibling the 13-inch Surface Laptop 3, Microsoft has outfitted the new model with a more modern array of ports. This time around, the Surface Laptop will ship with one USB-A and one USB-C port, as well as the company’s signature Surface Connect port for fast charging. According to Microsoft, the computer can charge its battery to 80 percent in approximately an hour.
For the Surface Laptop, Microsoft worked with AMD to develop a custom Ryzen mobile CPU. The company’s Panos Panay claimed it’s the most powerful mobile CPU in a laptop.
Microsoft’s promising “all-day battery life” but that’s true of most premium laptop manufacturers.
They’ll start at $999 and $1,199 respectively, with preorders open today, shipping October 22nd.
