“We are pleased to bring new Surface devices and accessories to Singapore. In the current environment, our devices are our windows to the world – our office, school, and social space. We want to make sure every person and organisation are equipped with the tools they need to stay connected and productive. Our goal is to design a Surface for every person, every work style and every location, so that it can switch context as quickly as you do to take you from work to play to everything in between,” said Shyamol Bansal, Business Group Lead for Surface & Mixed Reality, Microsoft Singapore.
Designed to provide users versatility and seamless productivity, the new Surface line-up will empower users to work, learn, connect, and play from anywhere.
Surface Go 2
The all-new Surface Go 2 retains the same lightweight, compact design as the original, but now features a larger 10.5” PixelSense display, improved battery life1 and a model that is up to 64% faster in performance than before with new Intel 8th Generation Core M options. Surface Go 2 comes equipped with built-in Wi-Fi, plus optional LTE Advanced2, providing hassle-free, secured connectivity anywhere.
Surface Go 2 also includes Studio Mics, a dual microphone solution to increase voice clarity and reduce background noise for Teams meetings; and a 5 MP front-facing camera that delivers sharp video even in low light. The rear-facing camera also has a new Camera application that allows users to easily scan documents and whiteboards.
Paired with Surface Pen, Surface Go 2 unlocks the power of natural ink for things like drawing diagrams, marking up documents or working through math equations. Users can also personalise their Surface Go with Type Covers and accessories3 in colours such as Platinum, Black, Poppy Red, and Ice Blue.
Surface Book 3
Providing users the power of a desktop, the versatility of a tablet, and the freedom of a light and thin laptop, Surface Book 3 is available in 13” or 15” sizes. Surface Book 3 15” will deliver up to 50% increased performance than its predecessor and up to 17.5 hours of battery life4. The device has a crisp, high-DPI PixelSense Display, smooth, precise trackpad, comfortable keyboard, and the performance of an Intel 10th Generation Core CPU and choice of NVIDIA discrete GPU. DPI stands for dots per inch. The higher the DPI number, the more detailed the image.
For gamers, Surface Book 3 15” has a NVDIA GeForce GPU with enough power to play the top Xbox Game Pass5 for PC titles6 at 1080p in a smooth 60 frames per second. The option of NVIDIA Quadro RTX 30007 is also available to meet the needs of commercial customers.
Surface Dock 2
This docking station that helps users expand their workstation with a simple magnetic click. The dock delivers faster charging, higher data transfer rates and enterprise management tools.
In addition to Surface Dock 2, a new, multi-port Microsoft USB-C Travel Hub will be available to offer users more ways to connect to networks, displays and USB-C accessories.
