While Microsoft first announced its latest lineup of Surface laptops over a month ago, so far they have not been available for purchase. That changes today, with the Redmond-based company announcing that the Surface Laptop 5 and Surface Pro 9 are now available for pre-order via Amazon.in, Reliance Digital, Croma, and Vijay Sales, and select multi-brand stores.
A purchase of the Surface Pro 9 will fetch users a black Surface Pro Keyboard worth Rs 14,999 while a Surface Laptop 5 purchase makes customers eligible for a Surface poppy red Arc Mouse worth Rs 7,499. Sales will commence on November 29.
Microsoft claims that the Intel version lasts for up to 15.5 hours while the Qualcomm one stretches that to 19 hours. The Intel variant comes with two USB-C ports with support for Thunderbolt 4. Meanwhile, the Qualcomm variant does not support Thunderbolt 4 but gains a SIM port. The Surface Pro 9’s body is crafted with high-grade aluminium.
The Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 is powered by the 12th Gen Intel Core processor series — which is claimed to be 50% more powerful than its predecessor — and is available in 13.5-inch and 15-inch options. The smaller model is offered in i5 and i7 variants while the 15-inch version only comes with an i7. Microsoft claims that the Surface Laptop 5 provides an all-day battery life, with the 13.5-inch model lasting up to 18 hours and the 15-inch model lasting 17 hours. The speakers offer support for Dolby Atmos 3D spatial processing. For connectivity, you get a USB-C port with support for Thunderbolt 4, one USB-A port, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
