Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 3 may include a new 15-inch model - The Verge

Posted: 14 Sep 2019 07:43 AM PDT

Microsoft is planning to refresh its Surface lineup next month, and there could be a bigger version of the Surface Laptop 3 in the cards. WinFuture reports that Microsoft will unveil a new 15-inch version of the Surface Laptop 3 next month, with the same 3:2 aspect ratio. We're expecting Microsoft to launch an AMD-powered Surface Laptop 3, and it's possible that this chip could be found on this rumored 15-inch model.

If the report is accurate, that will mean Microsoft's Surface Laptop could further compete with the company's Surface Book device. Microsoft currently offers both 13.5- and 15-inch versions of the Surface Book 2. We understand it's unlikely that Microsoft will unveil a Surface Book 3 at the event in New York City next month, though.

Microsoft is also expected to reveal a new Surface Pro 7 with USB-C support, a Qualcomm-powered Surface, and a tease of its dual-screen Surface and Windows plans. The Verge will be live from Microsoft's New York City Surface event on October 2nd, so stay tuned for all the latest news on the future of Surface and Windows.

TL;DR: Apple's 7th generation 10.2-inch iPad was just released on Sept. 10, but Amazon already put the 128 GB WiFi model on sale for $399.99 at Amazon — saving you $29.01 on your pre-order.

The internet has likely already informed you that Apple released an updated version of the classic iPad and the next series of the Apple Watch at its iPhone Event on Sept. 10.

What you may not have heard is that the new iPad, which has only been available for pre-order for a few days, is already on sale at Amazon (because Amazon has absolutely no chill). Though it's only a $30 discount, $399.99 sounds much nicer than the $429.99 that Apple's site is offering. Plus, that $30 can be put toward the Apple Smart Keyboad or first gen Apple Pencil — two of the sweet upgrades for the new iPad.

Aside from an obvious increase in size, the 7th generation iPad looks identical to its older 9.7-inch sibling. But the best part comes in the form of the interior updates: A new A10 Fusion Chip brings up to double the power of a Windows PC4 (so says Apple), and support of the new iPadOS means multitasking and a smoother, laptop-like experience when using the keyboard.

The 10.2-inch model comes in black, space grey, and rose gold, and the enclosure is made out of recycled aluminum.

The 128 GB WiFi model will run you $429.99 at Apple, but you can save yourself $30 and pre-order it for $399.99 at Amazon. It will be released on Sept. 30
