Microsoft today announced a new Surface device: the Surface Laptop. The device had of course been "leaked" since last night, but Microsoft's Panos Panay at the event held by company στη Νέα Υόρκη το αποκάλυψε επισήμως σήμερα. Πρόκειται για ένα φορητό υπολογιστή 13,5 ιντσών σχεδιασμένο να λειτουργεί με το νέο functional system Windows 10 S the company's.
Panos Panay, head of Microsoft's new device division, said the company created the new laptop, thinking about prospective students finishing with the Lyceum.
Microsoft's new laptop uses a "fabric" Alcantara keyboard, just like the keyboard on the premium Surface Pro 4, which features a 1,5mm track for the backlit keys. A video teaser of the device shows that it is clearly designed to be a high-end device technology to promote the new Windows 10 S operating system.

Surface Laptop is a clamshell device, a true laptop, unlike Surface Book 2 on 1. Traditionally, Panos Panay gave the Surface Laptop to one of the public to show off his new burgundy color.
Surface Laptop will come in four colors: platinum, burgundy, blue cobalt and gold graphite and will weigh less than 3 pounds.
Microsoft uses a 13,5-inch PixelSense display with a 3: 2 aspect ratio. "It's the thinnest LDC touchscreen model ever created and installed on a laptop," says Panay, with a total of 3,4 million pixels. The screen even supports Microsoft Surface Pen, which lets you draw on the screen.
Microsoft uses the latest Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and claims battery life of up to 14,5 hours. Microsoft claims the Surface Laptop is faster than the i7 MacBook Pro and that it will have "longer life than any MacBook Air on the market today."
There are no grills or holes in speakers and Microsoft has built the speakers under the keyboard so the sound comes from your fingers.
Microsoft launches pre-orders for Surface Laptop today, and its prices start with 999 dollars for Core i5 with 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD. The Surface Laptop will begin shipping on June 15.
