Microsoft will offer a 15-inch version of the Surface Laptop 3

For the first time, Microsoft plans to offer a 15-inch version of the Surface Laptop. In addition to offering variants with Intel’s 10th-gen Ice Lake chips, Microsoft worked with AMD to develop a custom Ryzen mobile CPU for the Surface Laptop 3. The company’s Panos Panay claimed the Ryzen “Surface Edition” is the most powerful mobile CPU in a laptop available today, noting that it’s three times faster than the underpowered 2018 MacBook Air. The CPU also includes built-in Vega 11 graphics. This won’t make the Surface Laptop into a gaming machine, but it’ll work in a pinch.

Like its smaller sibling the 13-inch Surface Laptop 3, Microsoft has outfitted the new model with a more modern array of ports. This time around, the Surface Laptop will ship with one USB-A and one USB-C port, as well as the company’s signature Surface Connect port for fast charging. According to Panay, the computer can charge its battery to 80 percent in approximately an hour. Panay added that the Surface Laptop 3 is half a pound lighter than the MacBook Pro. It also features a 20 percent larger trackpad than the Surface Laptop 2 and a tweaked keyboard with 1.3mm key travel.

You can pre-order the 15-inch Surface Laptop 3 starting today for $1199. It will ship on October 22nd.
