Hardware

The Surface Laptop Go 3 is a minor update to the Surface Laptop Go 2.

Microsoft claims the device will have an improved battery life of up to 15 hours, thanks to the more efficient CPU.[5]

It carries over the 12.4-inch "PixelSense" Display at 1536 × 1024 from the prior two generations with a 3:2 aspect ratio.

The Surface Laptop Go 3 uses a twelfth-generation Intel Core i5 processor with Intel Iris Xe Graphics. The base model of the device will now have 8 GB RAM (up from four.) For the first time, both consumer models will now have 256 GB of storage, with business models topping off at 512 GB.[6][7]

Like prior generations, the device will have 1 USB-C and 1 USB-A port, alongside a headphone jack and a Surface Connect port for charging. The laptop also has Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.

Consumer models of the device now has a fingerprint power button with Windows Hello and TPM 2.0 as standard.
