Both will be available on Oct. 16. As expected, the new models are mostly modest spec refreshes and some new colors, including matte black. Anyone looking for radical redesigns — or even the addition of USB-C — will need to wait for 2019, at least. Other features include:
- 8th-gen Intel CPU
- 5-inch touch display
- “85 percent faster” than the original Surface Laptop, according to Microsoft
Alcantara palm rests (same as earlier version) - Now available in black
- Support for Instant On and Windows Hello
