“The new Surface products use the latest Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors and are very focused on features that business users will appreciate,” said Tom Mainelli, group vice president for IDC’s device and consumer research. He noted that an optional integrated privacy screen with anti-glare on the 13.8-in. model would likely appeal to frequent travelers, for instance.
“I’m also happy to see a 5G option on the Surface Pro for Business,” Mainelli said. “Overall, the specs on offer here are compelling.”
Microsoft plans to add the option for Snapdragon X2 processors “later this year.”
The 13-in. Surface Laptop for Business is available with 16GB and 24GB of RAM and starts at $1,499 — with an 8GB option available later this year for $1,299. It includes a removable “Gen4 SSD “designed for enterprise serviceability,” Microsoft said.
