Unlike the latter model, the Go 3 will be made with an aluminum top and an aluminum polycarbonate composite resin system with glass fiber and 30% postconsumer recycled content base. Microsoft claims the device will have an improved battery life of up to 15 hours, thanks to the more efficient CPU.

The Surface Laptop Go 3 uses a twelfth-generation Intel Core i5 processor with Intel Iris Xe Graphics. The base model of the device will now have 8 GB RAM (up from four.) For the first time, both consumer models will now have 256 GB of storage, with business models topping off at 512 GB.

Like prior generations, the device will have 1 USB-C and 1 USB-A port, alongside a headphone jack and a Surface Connect port for charging. The laptop also has Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.

Consumer models of the device now has a fingerprint power button with Windows Hello and TPM 2.0 as standard.
