Microsoft has an event scheduled for October 2 in New York where it will unveil new products. The Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 is one of the expected devices and details of the PC have popped online including one big info.

Winfuture.de reports that the Surface Laptop series will be getting a 15-inch version for the very first time. Its predecessors are only available with 13.5-inch screens. There will still be a 13.5-inch version of the Surface Laptop 3 for those who prefer a smaller display.

AMD Ryzen

But a larger display is not the biggest change Mircosoft is making to the Surface Laptop line. The German tech blog also reports that the 15-inch version of the Surface Laptop 3 will feature an AMD Ryzen processor! This is a big win for Intel’s rival.

So far, three AMD-based models of the 15-inch Surface Laptop 3 have been discovered but the exact chipset powering them are still unknown. There are speculations they may be powered by the Ryzen 3000 series (Ryzen 5 3550H and Ryzen 7 3750H) which powers Honor’s MagicBook Pro Ryzen Edition which was announced early this month.

There is no mention of the 13.5-inch model getting AMD processors, so expect an Intel sticker on that model.

The 15-inch Surface Laptop 3 is rumored to also come with a 4K display with Surface Pen support. We also expect it to have a USB-C port this time.
