New Intel Core Ultra-powered Surface Laptop with 5G integration now available in Microsoft's business collection
Microsoft has announced the launch of the Surface Laptop 5G, a new addition to its Surface for Business line, scheduled for release on August 26. Alongside the Surface Laptop 5G, Microsoft is also shipping the 13-inch Surface Laptop and 12-inch Surface Pro, both based on Qualcomm Snapdragon CPUs, to business customers starting today.
The Surface Laptop 5G is designed to serve as a 5G hotspot and share its connection with other devices. This latest iteration features a dynamic antenna system made of six antennas, and Microsoft has developed a new antenna material, a custom laminate, for improved signal strength and efficiency.
However, it's important to note that not all Surface Laptop 5G models will support 5G connectivity. Only specific business SKUs, scheduled for release in 2025, will be equipped with an integrated 5G modem and Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite chips, which enable 5G capabilities. The exact SKU model numbers or product codes for these 5G-enabled variants have not been disclosed at this time.
