MagyarMicrosoft releases Surface Laptop 6 with Intel Meteor Lake H processors, 64 GB of RAM and two Thunderbolt 4 ports
Microsoft has refreshed the Surface Laptop after an 18 month run for the Surface Laptop 5 (curr. $769.99 on Amazon). As expected, the company has decided to offer a 'for Business' device first with no word on a consumer variant yet. With that being said, the company revealed earlier this week that it will be hosting a second Surface event two months from now.
Previously, Microsoft was rumoured to be waiting until then before delivering the Surface Laptop 6 series. However, it has now presented the Surface Laptop 6 for Business, which comes in two sizes and two processor variants. For context, the Surface Laptop 6 for Business has been joined by the Surface Pro 10 for Business, full details of which we have covered separately.
In short, Microsoft has developed the Surface Laptop 6 in 13.5-inch and 15-inch sizes, both with a choice between Core Ultra 5 135H and Core Ultra 7 165H processors. Additionally, the machines will be configurable with 8 GB LPDDR5 to 64 GB LPDDR5x of RAM, plus up to 1 TB of PCIe Gen4 storage. This time around, there are some differences between the pair, although both feature 47 Wh batteries. Please see our table below for more details.
Other upgrades include a new 1080p webcam that supports Windows Studio Effects; Microsoft claims that the laptop's anti-reflective coating cuts glare in half compared to Surface Laptop 5 models, too. The Surface Laptop 6 for Business starts at $1,199 and will begin shipping on April 9 in the US. At launch, Microsoft is offering six processor and memory configurations up to $2,999.99 for the 15-inch model with a Core Ultra 7 165H, 64 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD. Please see Microsoft's website for more details.
