  • All-day battery life. With up to 11.5 hours of battery life (based on typical Surface device usage) plus standby mode that extends your battery when you’re away, you can stay focused on the task at hand rather than having to constantly stop and reach for your charger.
  • USB-C™ and USB-A ports. While the Surface Laptop 2 only featured USB-A ports, the newest version comes with USB-C™ ports as well. This allows you to seamlessly connect to docking stations, accessory charging, and displays so you can share presentations with ease.

Plus, the new Surface Laptop 3 allows you to maintain control of your sensitive information with a removable SSD, enabling data retention for the first time ever.
  • Seamless integration. The Surface Laptop 3 is optimized for Office 365 and runs Adobe Creative Cloud (and more), meaning you can integrate your device with the tools and business apps you already use and rely on to do business.
