Not to be outdone by Apple’s 13-inch Macbook Pro refresh, Microsoft has announced a slew of updated gadgets that are due to hit stores starting on May 12th. First on the list, is the Surface Go 2. It has the same svelte design as the previous model, safe for the larger 10.5-inch PixelSense display.
That’s not all, it also has improved battery life and more powerful processors in the form of the 8th gen Intel Core M chips. Other worthy mentions include Studio Mics (dual microphones with better clarity and reduced noise), 5MP front-facing camera and an app for the rear camera to help with scanning documents and whiteboards.
Microsoft Surface Go 2
Like its predecessor, the Go 2 has several Type Covers and Sleeves to choose from including Platinum, Black, Poppy Red, and Ice Blue. The base Surface Go 2 retails for $399 for the base model, but expect a steeper asking price for ones with better hardware.
Microsoft Surface Book 3
Then there’s the cool but expensive Surface Book 3 (starting from $1599). It has updated internals resulting in up to 50% better performance when compared to the outgoing model, due to 10th gen Intel Core processors. There’s also a choice of discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX or Quadro RTX GPUs that include the RTX 3000. There’s also the option to include up to 32 GB of RAM.
Microsoft Surface Earbuds
Last but not least is the long awaited Surface Earbuds. The flat shaped earphones will be on sale on the same date as the rest of Microsoft’s gadgets for $199. It has touch sensitive controls for answering calls and playing or skipping tracks. In addition to this, it can read aloud emails via the outlook app or let you dictate through the use of Word, Excel or PowerPoint.
