According to Microsoft, the Intel Variant will offer up to 17 hours of battery life. The AMD variant can last even more up to 19 hours, we assume it has to do with the fabrication process or power-efficiency of each processor. Other features include an HD front-facing camera, Omnisonic speaker with Dolby Atmos support, a studio microphone array, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, USB-A, USB-C, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
The variant with Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 CPUs will be backed by the Radeon Graphics, while the Intel versions come with the integrated GPUs. According to Microsoft, both variants will still offer 70 percent better performance and battery life than the Surface Laptop. The pricing will depend on the processor and the laptop size you pick. That said, most of the features are similar on both laptops. Of course, the 13.5-inch is a better option for productivity and portability. However, the 15-inch unit will be the best option for those who need multitasking.
