Available in 13.8- or 15-inch sizes, the new Surface Laptop 7 includes a more modest hardware upgrade. On the hardware front, the biggest new feature is the ability to opt between a Snapdragon X Plus or X Elite CPU. Otherwise, you're getting the same display options as the Surface Laptop 6, alongside the same aluminum exterior and overall design.
However, when it comes to performance, Microsoft claims the new laptop is "80% faster than our previous generation" and its battery can last for up to 22 hours of local video playback. Additionally, Microsoft has confirmed that the Surface Laptop will support three 4K monitors, in addition to its own display.
The new laptops will ship on June 18 with preorders available now through Microsoft and Best Buy.
