The Most Powerful Surface Ever: Surface Book 2
Removing the barrier between a conventional desktop and laptop, Surface Book 2 features the latest 8th generation Intel® Core™ processors and the best graphics performance yet with the latest NVIDIA GeForce GPUs. Starting from S$2,188, Surface Book 2 is up to five times more powerful than the original.
For those seeking flexibility in the way they use their device, Surface Book 2 supports four different modes, including Studio Mode, Laptop Mode, View Mode, or even Tablet Mode by simply detaching the screen.
Surface Book 2 will be available in 13.5” or 15” options, and boasts an impressive 17-hour battery life for marathon productivity sessions. From running software such as Adobe Creative Cloud and Autodesk, to playing great games such as Forza Motorsport 7 or Gears of War at 1080p, 60fps, it is more than prepared to support users’ workload for work or for play.
Performance Meets Style: Surface Laptop
Surface Laptop elevates design and performance in a sleek, elegant clamshell device. More than a traditional laptop, Surface Laptop is priced from S$1,488, and is engineered to start fast and stay fast with a 7th generation Intel® Core™ processor and up to 14.5 hours of battery life to last through the day. At just 1.25 kilograms and less than 14.5mm thin, Surface Laptop fits nicely into your favourite bag, and is lightweight for users to bring around.
In addition, Surface Laptop features a signature keyboard covered in luxurious Alcantara® material, along with a quiet and responsive keyset, large precision trackpad, and soft palm rest for a new level of typing comfort.
Shipping with Windows 10 S, a new Windows experience streamlined for security and superior performance, Surface Laptop starts up and runs faster with InstantOn and an OS optimised for sustained performance.
The Ultimate Creative Studio: Surface Studio
Surface Studio is an entirely new device designed for the creative process. Its roomy and adjustable 28” PixelSense Display coupled with the innovative Zero Gravity Hinge provides a huge canvas for all kinds of work. Position it upright to sketch, paint, and edit photos, or lay it flat to draw on it like a drafting table. Pair it with the Surface Dial for both on-screen and off-screen experiences that enable you to interact with applications in natural ways that deliver a fluid creative process. Surface Studio will be available at S$6,488.
