A Quick Look at the New Microsoft Surface Laptop GO and Pro X
Both the Surface Laptop Go and the Surface Pro X will both be available from 13 October
Microsoft just recently launched a new laptop for those who are on a budget. The all-new Microsoft Surface Laptop GO packs in some amazing features, along with the same feel as the Microsoft Surface Pro X tablet. In this news article, we put together everything that is yet revealed about the two Microsoft Surface products.
Microsoft Surface Laptop GO
Firstly, let us take a look at the new Microsoft Surface Laptop Go. Just about a day or two ago, the budget line-up of Microsoft was yet not very affordable. However, everything changes with the new Microsoft Surface Laptop Go.
This sleek laptop is cheaper and smaller in comparison to the Surface Laptop. Yet, it still carries many qualities that his big brother has. Hence, it is not a rookie device. Rather, it can do some serious work that many would not expect.
Weighing at just 2.45 pounds (1.11 kg), this new Microsoft Surface Laptop Go as an 11.2 inches display with a 720 HD webcam. Along with that, it also features Intel Core Processors from the 10th generation with 8 or 4 GB RAM. And of course, with that, we see some usual specifications such as USB-A and USB-C ports along with a fingerprint scanner in the form of a power/sign-in button.
The battery life is perhaps the most interesting feature of the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go. It gives a working time of 13 hours and charges quite fast. And of course, it features the signature sleek colors that Microsoft is famous for – platinum, sandstone, and ice blue.
Microsoft Surface Pro X
Microsoft does not settle there. A big update to the already popular Microsoft Surface Pro X tablet also came out. This new Surface Pro X looks quite like its predecessor, but it features a new SQ2 chip for better performance.
Furthermore, the tech giant has also announced an X64 emulation for Windows, which will make this tablet even more powerful in the very near future. Looks like Microsoft is making great leaps. After its acquisition of Bethesda, an American Video Game company, we can expect it to give great competition to Sony even in the world of gaming.
