Microsoft Surface launches new, better and futuristic product
The Microsoft October 2019 event has concluded at the Starrett-Lehigh Building in New York on 2nd October. They showed us the latest and greatest Surface hardware which includes the Surface Pro 7, Surface Laptop 3, the Surface Pro X and the dual-screen Surface Neo tablet. Along with that, we also got a glimpse of its surprise return to the smartphone market in the form of the foldable, dual-screen Microsoft Surface Duo. It seems like Surface is back with some future-ready devices with neural processing power and dual-screen for productivity.
Everything that showed up on the event
Surface devices are for everyone to create more anywhere in the world said Tom Warren. Microsoft has reimagined pretty much every part of the tech stack which can be observed pretty much just by the looks of the devices accompanied by the hardware and specialized software as they announced Windows 10X. They have transformed the way of how people interact with their devices. There is a new app model to light up these new form factors. They want to create an opportunity for everyone to feel capable, confident, be productive and more in control.
Surface Laptop 3 is an obvious update from the previous-gen surface laptop 2. But this time it comes with 2 distinct screen sizes 13.5-inch and 15-inch. Inside the 13-inch model, they have placed Intel’s latest 10th Gen Core processors – either Core i5 or Core i7. The 15-inch model is the actual piece of attraction as it comes with an additional focus on the graphics processor over the standard Ryzen chips, the new chip is an AMD-based Surface Edition of the Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7.
The 13.5-inch model starts at USD 999 (approx Rs 71,000), while the 15-inch variant will begin at USD 1,199 (approx Rs 85,400). Both are open for preordering starting October 2nd while shipping will start on 22nd October.
Surface Pro 7
Surface Pro 7 is an ultralight 2-in-1 that offers laptop-to-tablet versatility, all-day battery life1, and improved graphics. Surface Pro 7 comes with the latest quad-core, 10th Generation Intel Core i3 or core i5 or Core i7 processor.
In Addition to this, Surface Pro 7 can be converted into a full laptop with the Signature Type Cover 2, Surface Pen 2 and Surface Arc Mouse 2.
Surface Pro 7's cost starts at USD 749 (approx Rs 53,000) and will launch on 22nd October.
Surface Pro X
Surface Pro X is the next-generation 2-in-1 which is the thinnest Surface yet as claimed by the company. Surface Pro X is much more exciting as Microsoft also added a new Slim Surface Pen that charges in a dock nestled super conveniently within the keyboard.
The Surface Pro X launches on October 22 in stores and online is available for pre-order now and will ship on November 5th starting at $999 / AU$1,699 (about £810)
Surface Neo
Microsoft unveiled a completely new line up of a dual-display device. The Surface Neo is a 5.6mm-thin tablet with two 9-inch displays connected by a 360-degree hinge - allowing it to be held like a book, a tablet or a laptop that provides consumers more versatility to use the device with their own need and style.
The Surface Neo will run a new version of Windows, called Windows 10X which is specially designed and structured for these types of devices, and can support two apps running on different screens.
Unfortunately, Surface Neo will not be available this year as its unveiling was just a teaser. The finished device will be available for Christmas 2020.
Microsoft also announced the Surface Duo which will not available until next year, a smaller, folding-smartphone version of the Surface Neo, that runs a combination of Google's Android with Microsoft apps.
Like the Surface Neo, this device is still in development, the device looks built to allow multitasking without compromise. The device features two screens that fold together, rather than one bending display.
The Surface Earbuds are built for both music and vocal performance. It features an ultra-comfortable and secure design with intuitive touch and voice controls for music, calls and more as claimed by the company.
The earbuds claim up to 24 hours of battery life, with eight hours continuous playback on a charge, and the carry case contains two full refills.
Slated to go on sale later this year, the Surface Earbuds will be priced at $249 (roughly Rs. 17,700).
