Microsoft’s Surface laptops have their own fan base. They introduced the idea of performance in a very slim package, making them a preferred choice among mobile users. This year, Microsoft has decided to bring significant changes to make the laptop an even more attractive package. There is more power, an updated design and even subtle display changes that could make a big difference.
The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3 carries a slim and portable design from its predecessor. The laptop weighs only 1.3 kg and you can easily carry it during commutes. The upper half of the laptop is made of anodized aluminium and the bottom, of polycarbonate. Microsoft says this combination makes the laptop more resistant to scratches. The device also uses 30 per cent recycled material which makes it more environmentally-friendly.
The laptop is available in two colours. For users who want a subtle look, the Ice Blue variant should be an ideal option. The Platinum colour variant stands out and should catch everyone’s eye. Both variants have a matte finish which resists fingerprints and smudges.
Despite being a compact laptop, the Microsoft Surface laptop is equipped with a generous-sized keyboard. The keys promise 1.3 mm of travel, so you can type comfortably and edit documents. Additionally, it has dedicated shortcut keys along with a power button that doubles up as a fingerprint reader for the Windows Hello feature. The laptop also comes with a big trackpad so you can easily scroll through documents, images and pages. Since it has a smooth glass surface, you can easily glide your fingers across it. The screen also comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection, which should prevent scratches while using the touch display.
The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3 comes with a 12.4-inch PixelSense Display. The display has a 3:2 aspect ratio, giving you more vertical workspace. This means you can read articles, books, navigate spreadsheets and documents without much scrolling. A taller screen will also make multitasking easier, as you can place apps such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint side-by-side, and vertically to improve your workflow.
The display also supports touch inputs and is more fun to operate than traditional ones. You can use multiple multitasking gestures and fingers to zoom into images, across webpages and articles. The screen bezels are also minimal and house an ambient sensor to automatically adjust the screen brightness.
The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3 runs Windows 11 Home. It has been upgraded to an Intel Core i5-1235U 12th generation CPU paired with 256 GB solid-state storage. The laptop is available in two variants. The base model comes with 8 GB of DDR5 RAM while the top-end variant comes with 16 GB of DDR5 RAM. This configuration should make the Surface Laptop Go 3 powerful enough to smoothly handle apps like Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint and more. There is also significant improvement in graphics performance. Microsoft has also left some room for upgrading, so you can replace the SSD if needed, in the future.
Microsoft has also taken care of all modern-day connectivity. The laptop is equipped with a USB Type-A port to connect storage drives and other peripherals. There is a Type-C port for fast data transfer. On the front, the laptop has a HD camera for video calls. Microsoft says the device comes with dual far-field Studio Mics with Voice Clarity that ensure a clear video conferencing experience. The device also has a 3.5mm audio jack for wired headphones. The device also has Wi-Fi 802.11ac support and Bluetooth 5.2 for wireless peripherals.
The Surface Laptop Go 3 sports a strong battery life. Microsoft claims the Surface Laptop Go 3 delivers up to 15 hours of battery life, which means it will easily last well beyond your working hours. There is also fast charging support to save charging time. As the device uses a Type-C port for charging, you can even use your smartphone charger to power the device.
The Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 is an ultra-portable yet powerful device designed for users on the go. Its compact design makes it easy to carry around and its powerful hardware ensures performance on demand. The Surface Laptop Go 3’s 3:2 aspect ratio screen also makes it more practical for office goers. The laptop is now available for pre-ordering at www.relaincedigital.in.
