The consumer tech world is eagerly awaiting next week’s Apple event, where we will meet the new iPhone 15 series. However, it is not the only major tech event to look forward to this month. Microsoft has its own event scheduled for September 21, where it is expected to unveil new Surface hardware. As we wait for both events, the specifications of the upcoming Microsoft Surface products have surfaced online.
Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2, Surface Laptop Go 2, and Surface Go 3 Specs Leak
Roland Quandt of WinFuture.de has shared a report detailing Microsoft Surface specifications, citing information received from online retailers. He claims Microsoft’s upcoming products will mostly have internal upgrades, specifically related to the CPU.
The Surface Laptop Studio 2 is said to continue with the 14.4-inch PixelSense display with a resolution of 2400 x 1600 pixels and a 3:2 aspect ratio. It will be powered by the 45W Intel Core i7-13800H, part of the “Raptor Lake” 13th Gen Intel Core CPU. This chipset features six high-performance cores and eight energy-saving cores with a speed of 5.0GHz. The laptop will be available with 16GB and 32GB of RAM options, along with 512GB and 1TB SSD storage.
The upcoming model is also expected to have more USB Type-C ports than its predecessor. The overall design of the Surface Laptop Studio 2 is said to remain unchanged from the previous generation device.
The Surface Laptop Go 2 is reported to receive an Intel Core i5-1235U processor refresh. This is a 12th Gen Intel Core CPU from 2022 with 4.4GHz dual high-end cores and eight energy-efficiency cores. It will be available in a single 8GB RAM option, with storage options of 128GB and 256GB. The storage will be SSD for faster data transfer speeds.
Lastly, the Surface Go 4 is reported to come with an Intel CPU, contradicting previous claims of an AMD chipset. The report indicates that it will have a quad-core “Alder Lake-N” Intel N200 processor clocked up to 3.7GHz.
There is speculation that only the 8GB RAM variant will be available, and the 4GB RAM model may be scrapped this year. The onboard storage options could be 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB depending on the model. The product design is likely to continue from the last generation.
Microsoft is expected to start selling the new Surface hardware products in October. The report does not mention pricing details but suggests that buyers may see a slight increase compared to the predecessors.
