It was in great demand, and here is finally the new laptop surface of Microsoft with 5G connectivity. The wait is explained by a brand new system of dynamic antennas to ensure optimal reception. Intended for businesses, the Laptop 5G surface will be available in early September.
MicrosoftMicrosoft has just enlarged its series of surface laptops, with a new model called Surface Laptop 5G. As its name suggests, the device has mobile connectivity, thus avoiding having to use your smartphone as a Wi-Fi access point and emptying your battery.
A Copilot+ PC certified computer
Aimed above all for businesses, the laptop 5G surface incorporates a processor IntelIntel Core Ultra (series 2). It will be possible to choose between the ultra 5 236V and 238V, or the Ultra 7 266V or 268V. These processors are designed for artificial intelligence, with an ACC accelerator (NPU) capable of performing 40 to 48 tops (40 to 48 thousand billions of operations per second). The laptop 5G surface is therefore indeed certified COPILOT+ PC, and will benefit from all the latest features of Microsoft AI.
The computer is equipped with a 13.8 inch touch screen in 3: 2 format, a variable refresh rate up to 120 HzHz and a resolution of 201 ppp (2,304 x 1,536 pixelspixels). It is accompanied by 16 to 32 GB of RAMRAMand a disc SSDSSD removable from 256 GB to 1 to. Microsoft announces 12 hours ofautonomyautonomy In web browsing, and 20 hours of video playback. It has two USB-C compatible ports USB4 and ThunderboltThunderbolt 4, as well as a load 60 wattswatts. The laptop also incorporates a port USBUSB-A 3.1, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, a connect surface port as well as the Wi-Fi 7 and the BluetoothBluetooth 5.4. The device weighs 1,39 kgkg.

A dynamic antennae system for better 5G reception
But the main novelty concerns 5G. The computer has a nano location SIMSIM and supports ESIM. In addition to accessing the mobile network, it can serve as a Wi-Fi access point for other devices. And Microsoft has specifically worked on connectivity, with a new system of dynamic antennas. The device is equipped with six antennas, and adjusts the power of each for an optimal signal. The system can thus adapt to how you place and interact with the computer. This dynamic antennae system prevents the signal from being blocked by the office on which the PCPC is laid, or by the user’s body. In addition, the Laptop 5G surface can automatically switch between mobile connection and known Wi-Fi networks.
Microsoft indicates that it has changed the materialmaterial For the computer housing to improve signal power. “” This design required a new material, allowing radio signals to pass without impact performance, while offering the sustainabilitysustainabilityhigh -end touch and the lightness sought by our customers “Says Microsoft on his blogblog. « We have developed a personalized multilayer laminate that meets all these needs, guaranteeing reliable 5G performance without compromising portability or design. »
Connectivity tested in around fifty countries
And it is not only the other laptops that the Laptop 5G surface should beat. The antenna being larger and better oriented than that of a smartphone, the receptionreception should logically be better. But it will be necessary to wait for the first independent tests in order to be clear. In any case, Microsoft announces that it has tested connectivity on more than 100 mobile networks in around fifty countries.
The 5G laptop surface will be available in colorcolor platinumplatinum From September 2 in France. For the basic model (16 GB of RAM, 256 GB SSD, Intel Core Ultra 5 processor), allow 2,099 euros.
