Microsoft's latest release of Surface computers offers an impressive range of improvements to one of the company's core lines. Since 2012, Surface products have innovated personal computers giving consumers viable options combining the power of PCs with the convenience of touchscreen tablets.
In this post, we review the latest additions to the Surface family, giving you a brief overview of the most impressive features and how Microsoft is pushing the industry forward with new PC technologies.
Surface Pro 9
The Surface Pro 9 is the latest iteration of Microsoft's highly popular 2-in-1 tablet/laptop hybrid. We can confidently say that the model is the most impressive to date, with a sleek design and updated Intel Core i5 or i7 CPU. Some of the Surface Pro 9's most exciting
include:
- 2,880 x 1,920 pixel resolution (3:2 aspect ratio) display
- Front-facing 1080p resolution webcam
- 10-megapixel world-facing camera with 1080p and 4k video
- 4 Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports
- Available in 4 colors (Platinum, Forest, Graphite, and Sapphire)
Multitasking has never been more effortless on a Windows device, and the 15.5-hour battery life is plenty of juice to make it through the workday. Our only negative takeaway from the release is Microsoft got rid of the headphone jack.
Surface Pro 9 with 5G
The Surface Pro 9 with 5G takes the Surface Pro 9 to the next level by adding 5G connectivity and the Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. This chip allows for lightning-fast internet speeds, giving users a reliable internet connection on the go.
With 5G, users can easily stream content, download files, and connect with colleagues and clients without lag. The Surface Pro 9 with 5G also comes with all the features of the Surface Pro 9, making it a powerful and versatile device for professionals and creative individuals alike. In addition to 5G, Microsoft's Surface Pro 9 has an extended battery life of up to 19 hours and AI-assisted video chat features, including automatic framing, background blurring, and sustained eye contact.
Surface Laptop 5
Microsoft's Surface Laptop 5 provides consumers with an affordable premium laptop option that's super thin and lightweight. At just 2.86 pounds, the latest iteration of the tech giant's portable PC comes in at about the same weight as the newest MacBook Air.
You can pick up a Surface Laptop 5 in two sizes; 13.5 inches (2256 x 1504) and 15 inches (2496 x 1664). The base model is equipped with 8GB of Ram and 256GB of storage, and the premium option comes with an Intel Core i7 processor, 32GB Ram, and a terabyte of storage.
Surface Studio 2+
The Surface Studio 2+ is possibly the most impressive commercially available touchscreen device. The stunning 28-inch PixelSense display is housed by Microsoft's signature Zero Gravity Hinge creating a versatile working surface that seamlessly transitions from traditional upright and drafting-board orientations.
While the screen will catch your attention if you've never seen a Surface Studio, significant improvements have been made to its processor. The new model got an overhaul thanks to the Intel Core i7 that, according to Windows, offers "up to 50% faster CPU performance." In addition, the 30-series Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU provides significantly superior graphics performance compared to the 2018 model.
