The 13-inch Surface Book 2 will also be available in a 7th-Gen Intel Dual-core processor variant. The Surface Laptop, on the other hand, will be available in a single 13.5-inch touchscreen variant with 7th-Gen Intel Core i5 and i7 processors. “Surface embodies Microsoft’s mission to empower people to do more.
Globally and in India, it’s encouraging to see the rapidly growing Surface community in, both, consumer and enterprise.

Today, we are excited to launch these innovative devices in India”, said Anant Maheshwari, President, Microsoft India. Let’s break down the specs and variants of the Surface Book 2 and the Surface Laptop for you. Surface Laptop Specs and Features The Surface Laptop comes bearing a 13.5-inch Pixelsense display, with 3:2 aspect ratio. It weighs about 1.2kg and is 9.9mm thick.
The laptop does not have a kickstand or a detachable display, so it has no foldable gimmicks at all. The laptop uses the same trackpad as the Surface Book and a fabric-based Alcantara keyboard deck, also seen on the Surface Pro. In terms of specs, the Surface Laptop comes with Intel’s Core i5 and i7 Kaby Lake processors and offers up to 1TB PCI-e SSD storage. On the ports front, the Surface Laptop sports a mini-DisplayPort, a USB-A port and Microsoft's proprietary power connector that you may have seen on other Surface devices. Microsoft claims the Surface Laptop can run for over 14.5 hours of usage and during its global launch back in May, Microsoft had mentioned that it offers more battery life than “any Macbook” out there. That could have changed now with the addition of the new MacBook Pro line-up, which comes with upped battery capacity to support the updated CPUs and RAM.
The touchscreen display on the Surface Laptop is compatible with the Surface Pen and Surface Dial as well, and the Dial can work contextually with different apps. Here are all the configurations for the Surface Laptop available in India, with their corresponding prices.
