Microsoft had an event today in New York where it announced a bunch of new products. First on the list is the Surface Laptop 3.
The Surface Laptop 3 brings a number of new features including a new 15” size that is powered by a “Ryzen Surface Edition” processor and not an Intel processor like the 13” version.
The changes are not only on the inside but also on the outside. There is a USB Type-C port now which can be used for charging in addition to Microsoft’s proprietary Surface Connector. Oh! The display port is gone. Talking about charging, the Surface Laptop 3 supports fast charging (confirmed for the Surface Connector), allowing you to charge the PC to up to 80% in 1 hour!
The trackpad is also 20% larger than that of its predecessor and the whole computer has been designed in such a way to make it easy for users to replace components such as storage. Another design change is the availability of two finishes – Alcantara and Aluminum.
