At Microsoft's October 2019 Event, the company unveiled a large range of new Surface devices. A lot of its new devices were leaked before the official reveal, and as expected, Microsoft launched a whole suite of Microsoft Surface devices, spearheaded by the Surface Laptop 3 and Surface Pro 7.
Microsoft also had some surprises in store as well, such as the Surface Neo – a dual-screen device that could prove to be revolutionary.
Developing...
Surface Laptop 3
The first thing that showed up is the Surface Laptop 3, the latest generation of Microsoft's massively popular Surface Laptop. This traditional form-factor PC now comes in both 13-inch and 15-inch sizes, and packs the latest hardware from both Intel and AMD.
Now, the 13-inch Surface Laptop 3 comes with the latest 10th-generation quad-core processors from Intel, just as we'd expect it to. However, the 15-inch model comes with a custom AMD Ryzen 7 processor, or as Microsoft called it "Ryzen 7 Surface Edition". This CPU is paired with AMD Vega graphics to apparently deliver the fastest graphics performance in its weight class.
But, what might be more important to some people is the changes to the chassis. USB-C is finally on the Surface Laptop 3, even if the proprietary Surface Connect port is still there. You're also getting a larger trackpad - 20% larger to be exact. And, with a new aluminum finish, the Surface Laptop 3 is absolutely beautiful.
The best part, though? The top of the laptop is removable, so the laptop can be serviced. Microsoft did make it pretty clear that this is only to be done by professionals, however.
The Surface Laptop 3 is available to preorder today, and will be out on October 22. The 13-inch Surface Laptop 3 will start at $999, while you'll pay $1,199 for the 15-inch model.
Surface Pro 7
And, of course, we're getting a new Surface Pro. The Surface Pro 7 wasn't graced with as many details as the Surface Laptop 3, but we do know that USB-C is finally here. However, it's still using that annoying Surface Connect port.
The Surface Pro 7 does bring some improvements to the table, however. Now, with the Surface Pen, you can make in-line edits in Microsoft Word, and Studio mics for the Surface Pro 7 make for better voice commands.
That's about all we know right now as far as what the Surface Pro 7 can do, but we expect we'll know the hardware underneath the pretty exterior very soon, and we'll update this article as soon as we know more.
Until then, you can preorder the Surface Pro 7 today, and it will hit store shelves on October 22. It will start at $749, but we expect higher-specced models will be much more expensive.
