Microsoft is giving the Surface Laptop a mild refresh with new processors from AMD and Intel. As always, this generation promises longer battery life and improved performance, but this time it looks to be significant thanks to those newer processors.
While the Surface Laptop s overall look remains the same, save for the new Ice Blue with Alcantara for the 13.5-inch, there are numerous new configuration options available. There is also now wider availability of the previous business-only Intel models for consumers. Conversely, businesses can now buy AMD Surface Laptops.
The laptops are now available to order in the US, Canada, and Japan with other markets in the coming weeks.
