Summary of information exposed by foreign retailers

Surface Book 3

Surface Book 3 basically continues the appearance design of Surface Book 2, and is still available in two sizes: 13.5 inches and 15 inches.

In terms of configuration, Microsoft plans to use Intel's latest 10th-generation processors on the Surface Book 3, and may use up to 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage space.

The biggest change in Surface Book 3 should be in the graphics card. The latest news shows that Microsoft will use Nvidia's Quadro graphics chips in some Surface Book 3 models. This means that Surface Book 3 will better cater to 3D animators, designers, and engineers who rely on the power of Quadro graphics cards, which are optimized for many professional applications rather than games.

Overall, the appearance of Surface Book 3 will not change significantly compared to the previous generation, and the upgrades will mainly focus on configuration.

Microsoft Surface Go 2

In addition, Microsoft Surface Go 2 is also about to be released. Surface Go 2 is a portable product with core configurations including LTE version and Wi-Fi version. The LTE version is equipped with Intel Core m3-8100Y processor, 8GB memory and 128GB storage space, while the Wi-Fi version is equipped with Intel Pentium 4425Y processor, 4GB memory and 64GB storage space, and both are pre-installed with Windows 10.

Surface Go 2 screen has a big upgrade

It is worth mentioning that Surface Go 2 also supports WiFi 6, which is consistent with Surface Laptop 3 or Surface Pro 7.

In addition, according to a new report from Windows Central, the screen of Surface Go 2 will also have a significant change. It will be 10.5 inches with a resolution of 1920x1280, instead of the previously reported 10-inch 1800x1200 screen. However, the screen area will remain the same, which means that the large bezel on the original model will be reduced, similar to the change from Surface Pro 3 to Surface Pro 4, where the screen was enlarged from 12 inches to 12.3 inches.

From the perspective of product positioning, Surface Book 3 is equipped with Nvidia's Quadro professional graphics card, making it a powerful productivity tool for designers and 3D animation creators. Surface Go 2 continues to be thin and portable, making it easy for users to work anytime, anywhere.

The release time of the two new products has also been basically confirmed. Microsoft plans to launch Surface Go 2 next month, and Surface Book 3 is expected to be unveiled at the same time. However, it is not yet confirmed whether there will be an online press conference or the new products will be launched directly online.
