A revolutionary new laptop from Microsoft, Surface Book 3 is already a milestone after the launch of Microsoft's latest release, where it has announced another series of new computer hardware and new gadgets.
Along with the new Surface Book 3, Microsoft has unveiled its Surface Go 2, Surface Headphones 2, Surface Earbuds, and other features such as Surface Dock 2 and the Microsoft USB-C Travel hub.
When will the Surface Book 3 be available?
This new device was one of the best features introduced by Microsoft on May 6, and is available in pre-sale mode from the Microsoft website. The most basic preparation price is € 1,799.
Both the 13.5-inch model and the 15-inch model will go on sale on May 21 in the United States, while in our country, the official availability is scheduled for June 6.
Prices vary by screen size. The 13.5-inch Surface Book 3 has an entry price of € 1,799 for the model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
In the case of the 15-inch model, the cheapest model costs € 2,599 with Core i7, 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of SSD storage. This is an advanced configuration supported by Nvidia GeForce dedicated graphics.
Don't forget that currently the Surface Book 2 is for sale on two different screen sizes, with the smallest 13.5-inch model costs € 1,749, which is expected to decrease when the new model arrives.
Something that happened to Microsoft when making the launch is trying to keep the retail prices of the new models, at least in the context of the most basic versions of the entry-level version.
What are the features and specifications of the new Surface Book 3?
The Surface Book 3 is the most powerful laptop Microsoft has ever made. All configuration comes with Intel Core processor for generation. The 13.5-inch model comes with the i5 processor, while the 15-inch version jumps on the Core i7.
However, there are additional variations regarding the drawings. The lower 13.5-inch Surface Book 3 models come with Intel & # 39; s Iris Plus graphics integrated.
With advanced models, which include both screen sizes, they include the Gevorce GTX 1650 Max-Q graphics chip on Nvidia. The 15-inch model comes with the GTX 1660T graphics, with the exception that companies want to pay € 3,349 for a unit with a Quadro RTX 3000 GPU.
All of this has led Microsoft to demand that the Surface Book 3 is 50% faster than its predecessor, which is not a mistake. This is definitely aided by up to 32GB of optional RAM.
It's also possible that you're familiar with Nvidia in gaming, and Microsoft has made it clear that Surface Book 3 will do better in games with advanced titles. The idea is that you can use the Xbox Game Pass to play at 60 fps.
For design purposes, Surface Book 3 remains true to its predecessors. Unlike Surface Go 2, there are no changes in screen size, so it can be hard to distinguish between different generations.
Connectivity status and ports are maintained, with two USB A ports, a USB C port, a full-size SD card reader, and a Surface Connect for charging. This means no Thunderbolt 3 yet.
The Surface Book 3 has also retained the pioneering hinge introduced in the Original Surface Book, keeping it unique from other laptops on the market, being included among computers with an unmistakable and unbreakable display.
Microsoft is promoting battery efficiency and energy efficiency for many of its products, a message that has been emphasized again in the new generation, but without giving details of its current position.
