In doing so, Microsoft claims both the retooled Surface Pro for Business and Surface Laptops for Business, as they&#8217;re called, deliver up to 35% more graphics performance than Apple&#8217;s MacBook Air with M5.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From analyzing complex information to presenting to customers or creating content on the go, the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 GPU enables work to move in real time, delivering the sustained, fluid performance leaders expect from a premium business PC, without compromising mobility, battery life or security,&#8221; Microsoft says.<\/p>\n<p>Starting with the 13-inch Surface Laptop for Business, Microsoft says it&#8217;s the most portable Surface Laptop to date. Interested buyers can configure the system with 16GB or 24GB of LPDDR5X memory, paired with an Intel Core Ultra 5 325 processor and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of removable PCIe 4.0 solid state drive (SSD) storage.<\/p>\n<p>Other specs include a 13-inch PixelSense display with a 1920&#215;1280 resolution (3:2 aspect ratio), a Full HD 1080p front-facing camera, dual USB 3.2 Type-C ports, a USB 3.2 Type-A port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 wireless connectivity, and of course Windows 11 Pro.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft&#8217;s also offering 13.8-inch and 15-inch models with expanded processor options. On the 13.8-inch model, Microsoft&#8217;s offering Core Ultra 5 335, Core Ultra 7 366H, and Core Ultra X7 368H configurations, and Core Ultra 5 335 and Core Ultra X7 368H on the 15-inch variant.<\/p>\n<p>They also optionally come with more RAM\u201416GB, 32GB, or 64GB. Storage options are the same, while display resolutions differ (2304&#215;1536 and 120Hz on the 13.8-inch model, 3270&#215;2108 and 120Hz on the 15-inch model, with an integrated privacy screen available on the latter).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"400px\" width=\"708px\" style=\"\" alt=\"Back view of Microsoft's Surface Pro for Business.\" class=\"dimension1\" src=\"https:\/\/images.hothardware.com\/contentimages\/newsitem\/70634\/content\/surface-pro-backside.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Surface Pro for Business is a 13-inch machine in the 2-in-1 form factor.
