Other amenities include Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) connectivity, a 5MP front-facing camera and 8MP rear-facing camera, two USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-A ports, a single USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C port (with power delivery), a 3.5mm headphone jack, full-size SDXC card reader, and two proprietary Surface Connect ports. These are touchscreen panels with a 3000x2000 resolution on the 13.5-inch model, and 3240x2160 resolution on the 15-inch model, each with a high 1600:1 contrast ratio. Part of the premium pricing goes to the display. You're looking at two grand to wade into discrete GPU waters, and a few hundred dollars more if you want the bigger model with the faster 1660 Ti. Capacities max out at 1TB in the 13.5-inch model, and 2TB in the 15-inch model. There are two CPU options, both with 4 cores and 8 threads: a Core i5 1035G7 (1.2GHz to 3.7GHz, 6MB 元 cache) and a Core i7 1065G7 (1.3GHz to 3.9GHz, 8MB 元 cache).īuyers can also outfit the Surface Book 3 with up to 32GB of RAM, twice as much as before, and what Microsoft claims is "the fastest SSD we have ever shipped." Microsoft didn't provide any performance figures, but we do know it's using NVMe drives that shuttle data over the PCIe bus. On the CPU side, the Surface Book 3 gets a bump to Intel's 10th generation Ice Lake processors (10nm). "We’ve tested for it, it was one of the key things we wanted to address this time around." "When you max out the power you will not get it plugged in and not charging," Seiler explained.
