The software giant held the long-awaited Microsoft Surface event in New York. An annual conference, usually held at the beginning of autumn, where he presented his new own-brand hardware devices and also an update of the software tools, which we will present to you in the next article.
The Microsoft Surface was a bold foray into the world of computer hardware for the company from Redmond, and although its beginnings with the Surface RT were not profitable, it eventually became a reference in global technology, where Microsoft expresses its vision of what devices should be. with Windows.
In addition to massive sales, the company tried (Apple-style) to precisely integrate hardware and software and open new market segments together with its OEM partners. As part of this strategy, the growth in quantity and quality of Surface has been constant and it currently offers all types of equipment to cover the different needs of the user. Let’s review the news introduced today.
The most interesting line recovery device is second generation cabriolet which, like the others, offers access to multiple uses, but with a unique design. You can lift the lid to reveal the screen and use the computer like a traditional laptop, you can pull the screen forward and place it on top of the keyboard as a stand for writing or drawing, or push it all the way forward to cover the keyboard for use in electronic tablets. mode.
For the new version, Microsoft has kept the design, build quality and finish of the s anodized aluminum chassis and a weight of 1.89 kg with a 58 Wh battery and the familiar PixelSense multi-touch display with 14.4 inches diagonal, native resolution 2400 x 1600 pixels3:2 aspect ratio and 120Hz refresh rate The screen supports pressure-sensitive styluses like the Surface Pen, and the stylus sits conveniently in a slot in the computer chassis itself.
As we told you, the biggest news comes from its internal hardware, updated to the Intel Raptor Lake range and with options to include up to Core i7-13700H with 14 cores and 20 threads, which is complemented by integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics. For those looking for more in the graphics section, Microsoft offers NVIDIA dedicated graphics capabilitieswith a choice between RTX 4050, RTX 4060 or RTX 2000 Ada.
The memory and storage section is also well covered, from 16GB to 64GB of LPDDR5X RAM. Storage options include 512 GB PCIe Gen4 SSD, 1 or 2 TB, user replaceable.
The rest of the messages go through connectivity, with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, USB 3.1 Type-A and a proprietary Microsoft Connect port. It also releases support for microSDXC cards which customers requested. It also features four speakers, dual microphones, and a 1080p front-facing camera with IR support for facial recognition in Windows Hello.
With Windows 11 pre-installed, the Surface Laptop Studio 2 will start at the price 2000 dollarshigher than the original model, taking into account that the basic version does not include dedicated graphics, although we must remember its modes of use, screen quality, performance improvements and connectivity.
This is a new version standard (and basic) laptop from the Surface line, and like the convertible Laptop Studio, very little has changed in the exterior design and chassis with a polycarbonate base and aluminum lid. Thin and light, with its weight of 1.12 kg, you can move comfortably. Its screen is also familiar, multi-touch PixelSense 12.4 inches3:2 aspect ratio and native resolution of 1536 x 1024 pixels.
The highlight is the update of its processor to Intel Alder Lake with the presence of a Core i5-1235U with 10 cores and 12 threads and an integrated Iris Xe graphics card with 80 execution units. It can be equipped with 8 or 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory and a 256 GB SSD (expandable).
In terms of connectivity, we see a USB 3.2 Type-C port and another Type-A port, a Surface Connect port and Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 wireless connectivity. It features dual microphones on a 720p webcam and stereo speakers with Dolby Audio Premium, as well as a fingerprint scanner on the power button.
Microsoft promises up to 15 hours of autonomy with a 41 Wh battery. It comes pre-installed with Windows 11 and will be available in four color variants. The price is 800 dollars for the 8GB RAM version and $1,000 for the 16GB version. A notebook that has also advanced in performance and connectivity over previous models, but remains basic compared to what Microsoft’s other OEM partners offer.
Another of the devices that was talked about restoring the line was tablet. And he came to encourage the offer that if we talk about Windows, it is not enough because it is very limited, with Android absolutely dominating the middle and basic tablets and Apple high-end with its iPads. To avoid having to upgrade to a 2-in-1 with Windows (much more expensive), Microsoft designed its own tablet years ago, and now there’s a new version.
Microsoft kept the screen 10.5-inch PixelSense multi-touch with 1080p resolution, 3:2 aspect ratio and Gorilla Glass protection. It has support for styluses and a built-in stand that can be adjusted to an angle of up to 165 degrees. Its chassis is light (521g) and thin and is made of magnesium alloy.
Like the other devices introduced, the new features are related to the internal hardware, and here we have good news, as Microsoft has opted for the low-power Alder Laker-N series and the processor Intel N200 which should (relatively little) raise the performance of a tablet with 4 cores/threads, a maximum frequency of 3.7 GHz, 6 Mbytes of third-level cache, an Intel UHD GPU with 32 execution units and a TDP consumption of 6 watts.
RAM is a solid 8GB LPDDR5, while storage offers several options, from 64GB UFS to 128 or 256GB SSD. Connectivity is still quite good, with a best-in-class webcam, USB 3.1 Type-C and Microsoft Connect ports, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1, NFC and the rest of the tablet’s sensors. It also has 2W stereo speakers and 2 remote microphones.
It comes pre-installed with Windows 11 and will be available in October. Microsoft appears to be selling it only through commercial channels, suggesting it will focus on the business and education markets. Hopefully, the best pure Windows tablet will be available on the consumer market later on. Its price will start from 579 dollars.
The new Surfaces will be available in the Microsoft Store and in the dedicated retail channel. We will update with prices and availability in Spain. More information | The Windows Blog
