Hey, everyone. Pumped to be here. I’m here with Robin and Pete, and were in Building 87. This is my favorite building on campus. Ultimately, this is where the design comes together, and we build surface devices. As matter of fact, were here to introduce two new surface devices to you today, which were really excited about. We’re going to introduce to you at a time where the PC is more essential than it’s ever been before. The way each of us is working right now or learning or teaching, and for sure, how were connecting is changing, and it continues to change.
Between surface and the amazing ecosystem partners that we have, we’re all here to deliver on new Windows products for you this holiday. We want to do this while we empower every single person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. To get us started, I’d like to introduce you to Robin Seiler. Robin.
Thank you, Panos. With the PC playing such a central role, we wanted to build a surface for every person, work style and location. With bright, vibrant screens, fluid and comfortable keyboards, high-quality cameras and mics, the versatility of touch, and with designs and colors that really pull you in and make you want to use them. That what we strive for with every surface we make. This holiday, we are expanding our portfolio to bring the beautiful design and productivity of surface to even more people with the new, more affordable Surface Laptop Go and new updates to Surface Pro X.
This holiday, Surface products is getting even better with new experiences, longer battery life, as well as ne configurations to deliver even more performance. Take a look. We are excited about the momentum we are seeing for Windows on Arm, and how it will unlock new experiences for all Pro X customers. We’ve made Edge faster, and we’ve added new versions of Teams and Visual Studio. We’ve also added eye contact, so that you’re able to connect with the people you’re talking to more effectively by looking them in the eye, even when you’re not looking directly at your camera. From CAD to creative applications like Adobe, we’re seeing more developers create apps that are optimized for Windows on Arm.
All of this adds up to overall faster performance and longer battery life. Surface Pro X now gets 15 hours of battery life across the lineup. For our customers who need more power, we’re introducing the new Microsoft SP2 processor and every Surface Pro X comes with ultrafast connection using gigabit LTE. This connectivity is so important these days, particularly when you consider the constraints we face in bandwidth. When your kids are gaming, or your husband is streaming Netflix, or your roommate is participating in a Teams call. Were so excited for you to check out the Surface Pro X. We also know that there’s a set of customers who prefer a more traditional design and gravitate towards the power, beauty, and clean lines of Surface laptop. I’m going to hand it over to Pete to share more about the latest edition and the laptop line.
Thanks, Robin. With over three generations, Surface laptop continues to set the standard for what a laptop should be. It’s a surface people love for its perfect balance of style and performance. Today, were excited to bring what people love about laptop to a smaller, lighter, and more affordable price point. Here it is. I’m extremely excited to introduce the new Surface Laptop Go. Our lightest, most affordable Surface laptop, standing at $549. Were so proud of this device. It has everything we love about Surface laptop in a new, smaller design that provides an amazing experience for browsing, productivity, and collaboration. With just one finger, I can easily open it.
With instant on, I can get started right away. You’ll see the stunning 12 four-inch Pixel Sense touchscreen display with narrow bezels and a 32 aspect ratio. It really optimizes the screen space, so you can see more and do more, and be more productive. For a quick and secure sign-in option, Surface Laptop Go has a one-touch sign-in using Windows Hello. This authentication provides fast and secured access to One Drive personal Vault, and much more. Surface Laptop Go is built with three beautiful, durable,
and lightweight metal finishes in ice blue, platinum, and sandstone. We can’t wait for you to experience the typing on this device.
It has a full-sized surface keyboard with the perfect balance of key pitch and full key travel, giving you accuracy and comfort. There’s also a large precision track pad, all to keep you in your flow. Surface Laptop Go is powered by Intel’s 10th generation i5 quad-core processor, with up to 16 gigabytes of RAM and 25 gigabytes of storage. All the configurations, even at the entry level, are snappy and fast. With cloud-connected experiences like Microsoft 365, you’ll stay productive across all your tasks. Surface Laptop Go has up to 13 hours of battery life and has fast charging.
That amount of power keeps up with you no matter what you’re doing throughout your entire day. Now, whether you’re learning or working, chances are, you’re using your camera, speakers, and mics more than you ever have before. We know how critical it is to have a high quality video chat experience. Surface Laptop Go has a built-in 720P high-definition camera in studio mics. So your colleagues and classmates can see and hear you crisper and clearer than they ever have before. This is something you don’t generally
final laptops at this price point.
Laptop Go also has Omni sonic speakers and Dolby audio tuning. This combination surrounds you with amazing sound for listening to music, watching shows, or being on those calls. Were so excited about these new addition to the Surface family, and we can’t wait for you to check them out starting on October 13th. Back to you, Panos. That was awesome. With the new Surface Laptop Go and the updated Surface Pro X, I couldn’t be more excited about the work that team is doing right now. Delivering your cross experiences, hardware, and software coming together, lighting up the best of Windows and Microsoft 365 right here with devices for everyone.
Remember, Windows is for over a billion people around the world. Each one of them using it right now. What started as a vision for a PC in every single home has now evolved to the need for a PC for every single person. Today, it’s more clear to me than ever before, the Windows PC is now our window to the world. The window to how we connect with each other. The window to how we learn, and how we teach. The window to how we work, and ultimately, the window tell each of us creates.
Thank you so much for joining us today.
