Microsoft launches Snapdragon X2 powered Surface Pro and Surface Laptop

Microsoft is launching the new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop, now powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 chips. The Surface Pro 13" comes in Platinum, Black, and Dune colorways, and the company says it "combines the flexibility of a tablet with the capability of full Windows". It starts at $1,499 and uses theSnapdragon X2 Plus(10 Core) orSnapdragon X2 Elite(12 Core). It has a 13-inch touchscreen (optionally OLED) with up to 120Hz refresh rate, 16 to 64GB of RAM, 256GB to 1TB of storage, Wi-Fi 7, and battery life is rated at up to 15.5 hours of local video playback. If you max everything out the price reaches an uncanny $3,549.

You can configure these with the same SoCs as the Surface Pro. The RAM options are identical too, while storage starts at 256GB on the 13.8" laptop and at 512GB on the 15" model. Both go up to 1TB. The smaller laptop gets a 39W power supply, the bigger one a 65W unit. You can spec the 13.8" Surface Laptop all the way up to $3,449 if you max out the RAM and storage. The 15" listing doesn't show the 64GB/1TB yet. You can buy all of these products already straight fromMicrosoft's online store. Source
