February 15 news, foreign media Window Prime reported that the configuration information of Surface Laptop 5 has been fully exposed.
In terms of key processors, Intel has been fully upgraded to a 12th-generation mobile processor, with a total of i5-1240P and i7-1280P options, and the latter has 6 large cores, two more than the former. AMD models are available in R5 6680U and R7 6980U. According to the positioning of the previous generation, the R5 6680U model is relatively cost-effective, the price is around 7000, and Xiaolei is relatively recommended for this model.
The 12th generation of Intel processors has been greatly upgraded, belonging to the generation of Intel squeezing toothpaste more. Buying Intel 12th generation processors is a better choice at this point in time. In addition, according to Intel's wafer manufacturing roadmap, Intel's wafer manufacturing level will make great progress in the next few years, but I don't know if it can evolve as planned. Xiao Lei felt that instead of waiting for an uncertain result, it was better to buy early and enjoy it now.
The Surface Laptop 5 continues the previous generation's product line, and will still have 13.5-inch and 15-inch versions. The three-dimensional of the fuselage has hardly changed, the thickness is 0.5mm smaller, and the screen remains 201PPI.
The battery capacity has been greatly upgraded, from the original 47.4 watt-hours to 58 watt-hours. Surface Laptop 5 is originally positioned thin and light, users buy this notebook mostly have mobile needs, when going out is best to meet the day's power use.
After the advent of the M1 MacBook Air, the strong battery life performance was eye-catching. Surface Laptop 5 as a direct competitor of M1 MacBook Air, Microsoft in the case of unable to control the power consumption of the chip, the increase in battery capacity can undoubtedly effectively compete with the MacBook Air.
In terms of interface, Surface Laptop 5 is upgraded to 2 USB-C interfaces, with USB 4.0/Thunderbolt 4 function, which is a relatively bloody USB-C interface. Nowadays, more and more equipment is upgraded to the C port, and one port is completely insufficient. Xiao Lei hopes to have an interface on one side, so that charging will be much more convenient.
