Microsoft held its annual fall event today, where it normally announces a slew of new Surface products. But this year, it was rather light. Coming in with just two new products this year. That’s the new Surface Laptop Studio 2 and Surface Laptop Go 3.
These laptops mostly saw processor and graphics upgrades this year. There’s not a lot of changes here for the design and such. But that’s expected with a laptop. Companies aren’t going to totally redesign their laptops every year, or even every few years.
So now the big question is, how can you pre-order them? Here’s how.
Surface Laptop Studio 2
As expected, the Surface Laptop Studio 2 is the higher-end model here, and it comes with quite the specs. We’re looking at 13th-Gen Intel Core i7 H-class processor, with NVIDIA RTX 4050 or 4060 GPUs here. And it can even be optioned to have the enterprise-level RTX 2000 Ada Generation graphics too.
The Surface Laptop Studio 2 also comes with a 14.4-inch touchscreen which is also a high-refresh rate display at 120Hz. Making it perfect for gaming, alongside those NVIDIA graphics. Microsoft is also adding in up to 64GB of RAM and 2TB of storage, for those that need the most out of this laptop.
You can pre-order the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 today, with orders shipping on October 3. It will start at $1,999 and the highest-end model is going to cost you $3,699.

Surface Laptop Go 3
The other laptop that Microsoft announced today was the Surface Laptop Go 3. This is a slightly lower-end laptop, but stil quite powerful. It comes in at under 2.5 pounds, and has a 12.4-inch touchscreen. It also has a fingerprint power button available for Windows Hello, and Microsoft says that it is about 88% faster than its predecessor.
Microsoft is offering this one in just two configurations. That’s an Intel Core i5 with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD, or with 16GB of RAM. It does come in four colors though: Platinum, Ice Blue, Sage and Sandstone.
The Surface Laptop Go 3 is available to buy now, and ships today as well. There’s no pre-order phase for this one. It starts at $799, and you’ll pay another $200 to double the RAM.
