Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

On Wednesday, Microsoft hosted its most recent Surface product event. The company unveiled updated versions of its products, including the Surface Pro, Surface Go and foldable phones. Here’s a rundown of everything Microsoft unveiled at the event.

Surface Laptop Studio

The Surface Laptop Studio is a portable computer inspired by the Surface Studio all-in-one computer. To make inking and sketching more immersive, a hinge is provided that allows you to pull the display over the keyboard. Microsoft also boasts that the Surface Studio is the company’s most powerful laptop to date. Intel’s 11th-generation H35 CPUs and Intel Xe graphics are used in the laptop. It’s also compatible with NVIDIA’s RTX 3050 Ti GPU. Users can pre-order the Surface Laptop Studio. It costs $1,600 and will commence shipment on October 5th.

Surface Duo 2 dual screen android device

The new Surface Duo 2 includes several new cameras, 5G capability, near-field communications for mobile payments, and stereo speakers, all of which were absent from the previous generation. It also has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor used in other premium phones such as Samsung’s most recent Galaxy smartphones.

When the Surface Duo 2 is opened, two 5.8-inch screens appear, which may be used together. For example, you might run one program on one screen and another on the other. Alternatively, you may use the 8.3-inch area to extend a single app across both displays.

Surface Pro 8 and slim pen 2

The Surface Pro 8 comes with a 13-inch PixelSense display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, and Intel’s newest 11th-generation CPUs. The Surface Pro’s thick display borders have also been reduced by Microsoft. The Surface Pro 8 is available for pre-order now and will cost $1,100 when it goes on sale on October 5th, it goes on sale.

Microsoft also unveiled the Slim Pen 2 with the Surface Pro 8. The $130 stylus has a haptic motor that, according to Microsoft, makes it seem like you’re writing on paper rather than on glass. The Surface Adaptive Kit is another new attachment that includes a selection of add-ons that make it simpler to find certain keys, identify ports, and open your laptop or its kickstand.

Surface Pro X

Microsoft has introduced a new Wi-Fi-only version of its Surface Pro X tablet, which was initially released with LTE cellular capability in 2019. It’s the first version to only include Wi-Fi, and it’ll cost $900.

However, with Windows 11 coming out next month, it will enable the tablet to emulate 64-bit apps and execute them.

Surface Go 3

Intel CPUs are used in the new Surface Go 3. The base model has a Pentium Gold 6500Y CPU, which is an upgrade over the 4425Y in Go 2, while the more costly models have Core i3 CPUs from the 10th generation. The latter processor, according to Microsoft, is 60% quicker than the Core m3 it previously provided with the Go 2. Pre-orders for the complete Surface Go 3 family are now open, with the basic model priced at $400. It will be available on October 5th, along with all of Microsoft’s other Surface PCs.

Surface Adaptive Kit

Microsoft is developing a Surface Adaptive Kit for disabled individuals. With keycap labels, bump labels, port indicators, and device openers, the package makes Microsoft’s range of laptops and tablets more accessible.

The keycap and bump labels make it simpler to discover ports and cables as well as identify essential keys. A pull tab and ring are included in the opener support to provide users more options when opening a laptop lid or manipulating a Surface kickstand. The kit was developed in collaboration with individuals with disabilities to ensure that it meets a wide range of needs.
