The Surface Laptop 3 is a laptop computer developed by Microsoft. It is the third generation of Surface Laptop and was unveiled alongside the Surface Pro 7 and Surface Pro X on an event on 2 October 2019. It succeeds the Surface Laptop 2 that was released in October 2018.
Surface Laptop 3 keeps the same form and design, but with an addition of a USB Type-C port, improved battery life, hidden antenna lines, and an AMD CPU for the 15-inch model—a first for a Surface device.
Microsoft now offers an aluminum keyboard deck as an option for some models alongside the traditional Alcantara material covering. The 15-inch models are only available with an aluminum keyboard deck.
The device comes installed with Windows 10 Home but a free upgrade to Windows 11 is available.
The 13.5-inch model's display is the same resolution as previous generations, but the new 15-inch model features increased display resolution to maintain high pixel density. The 13.5-inch model comes with a 2256 x 1504 resolution and the 15-inch model comes with a 2496 x 1664 resolution. Both models have a 3:2 aspect ratio and pixel density of 201 pixels per inch (ppi).
