The Surface Go 2 and Surface Book 3 are already a reality: these are all the details of the newest from Microsoft

The time has come and we already have here the new Surface Book 2 and Surface Go 2. After leaks, rumors and several years since its last update the new laptops from Microsoft is already a reality with a renewal that was necessary to stand up to the competition.

Minor changes on the outside, with a design not as groundbreaking perhaps as many wanted, but with a profound change on the inside with a State-of-the-art hardware including newer processors and more RAM and storage options.Let's see what each of them offers.

Surface Book 3

In terms of design, the Surface Book 3 maintains the format, with a screen that we can use as a tablet in 13, 5, or 15-inch diagonals . Same edges and same hinge system to be folded.

Inside we will see how Microsoft opts for 10th generation Intel Core processors with TDP of 15W, a specification that makes them very efficient thanks to the fact that they maintain very low thermal values. If we were expecting AMD's Ryzen 3000 range, we were looking forward to it.

The same as if we talk about Thunderbolt 3 ports and Microsoft continues betting, as in the previous model, on two USB-A ports, one USB-C portfor charging (supports Power Delivery) and for connecting devices with USB 3 interface.1, and also an SD card reader and the Surface Connect port, perhaps the one that could have given up its space for a Thunderbolt 3.

The Surface Book 3 range allows up to 32 GB of RAM and thanks to M.2 drives in 2280 format, they are allowed1 TB capacities and even 2 TB in the top-of-the-range model. The most demanding, here yes, are in luck.

Along with these specifications, in the 13.5-inch model we can opt for integrated Intel Iris Plus Graphics or a dedicated NVIDIA graphics, the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q. And as we had already anticipated, the 15-inch model can choose to mount a GTX 1660Ti or a dedicated Quadro RTX 3000 graphics card These are its specifications in table format.

Surface Go 2

For its part, the Surface Go 2 sees a small change in the size of the screen that grows up to 10.5 inches with PixelSense technology while reducing its frames, which makes it as a whole offer the same size as the previous generation.

A panel that becomes FullHD which means having a resolution of 1,920 x 1,280 pixels, compared to 1,800 x 1,200 previous pixels and all in a 3:2 screen ratio.

In the interior arrive the Intel Pentium Gold processors combined with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB or 256 GB of SSD, although the 4 GB of RAM memory is maintained and 64 GB of base storage plus an 8th generation Intel Core M3 processor with up to 64% better performance than previous Intel Core M.

Among the improvements we will see how the battery also offers better performance according to Microsoft or as Studio Mics has been incorporated, a two-microphone systemon the front to improve video calls (camera is 5 megapixel) and reduce background noise that can be generated.

At the connectivity level, the new Surface Go has WiFi and LTE and connections made up of a USB-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB reader, microSDXC cards and compatibility with Surface Pen, Microsoft's digital pen. And again we finish with all the details in table format
