The great novelty is therefore the switch to Intel processors of 12e generation. According to Microsoft, the Surface Laptop 5 models are on average 50% more powerful than their Laptop 4 series counterparts. Two CPUs are offered: the Intel Core i5-1235U and the i7-1255U. The first mentioned is only available in the 13.5-inch format, the second is offered in both 13.5 and 15 inches. The graphics part is provided by an integrated Iris Xe Graphics GPU.
Numerous memory configurations are offered, with 8, 16 or 32 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, and 256, 512 GB or 1 TB of SSD storage. The Redmond firm evokes an autonomy which goes up to 18 hours in standard use for the most compact model, and up to 17 hours for the most imposing. But we know that these estimates are sometimes fanciful.
Wireless connectivity is provided by the Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 standards. As for the connection, we have available a USB-C Thunderbolt 4 port, a USB-A 3.1 port, a 3.5 mm audio jack and the Surface Connect home connector.
