Most of the new devices aren&rsquo;t radical departures from past Surface hardware, but we&rsquo;ll dig a bit deeper into the new machines below.<\/p>\n<h2>Surface Book 3: More power, no Thunderbolt 3<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Surface-Book-3-Render-4-1440x810.jpg\" width=\"877\" height=\"493\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Surface-Book-3-Render-3-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"The design isn&#039;t much different, but the specs have been boosted.\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Surface-Book-3-Render-2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"It still has that trademark hinge.\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Surface-Book-3-Render-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"It can still be adjusted into various form factors.\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Surface Book 3 immediately slots in as the highest-end notebook in Microsoft&rsquo;s family of PCs. It&rsquo;s nearly identical in design to its predecessor: it still has a ridged &ldquo;fulcrum&rdquo; hinge that leaves a slight gap above the keyboard when closed; it&rsquo;s still available with a 13.5- or 15-inch display; and that display can still detach completely from the rest of the laptop and work as a giant Windows tablet. The new models have the exact same dimensions (23mm thick in laptop mode) and weight (3.38-4.2 lbs.) as before, and the display resolutions are still nice and crisp (3000&times;2000 for the 13.5-inch model, 3240&times;2160 for the 15-inch one). The keyboard has no apparent changes, either, which is largely a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>What&rsquo;s new are the updated internals. The Surface Book 3 now comes with Intel&rsquo;s 10<sup>th<\/sup>-gen Core chips&mdash;the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2019\/08\/intel-reveals-final-details-on-ice-lake-mobile-cpus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">10nm Ice Lake ones<\/a>, not the less-efficient&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2019\/08\/intels-line-of-notebook-cpus-gets-more-confusing-with-14nm-comet-lake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Comet Lake CPUs<\/a>&nbsp;based on Intel&rsquo;s older 14nm process. You get the choice of a quad-core Core i5-1035G7 or a quad-core Core i7-1065G7 with the 13.5-inch model, while the 15-inch Surface Book 3 comes with the latter by default. Unlike Microsoft&rsquo;s Surface Laptop 3 ultrabook, there are no configurations with AMD chips here. But you can now pair those Intel processors with up to 32GB of LPDDR4x RAM, a step up from the 16GB LPDDR3 maximum of the Surface Book 2. The 15-inch model comes with 16GB of RAM by default.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pullbox sidebar story-sidebar right\">\n<div class=\"story-sidebar-part\">\n<div class=\"story-sidebar-part-content\">\n<h3>FURTHER READING<\/h3>\n<p><a class=\"recommendation-further-reading\" href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2019\/08\/intels-line-of-notebook-cpus-gets-more-confusing-with-14nm-comet-lake\/\">Intel&rsquo;s line of notebook CPUs gets more confusing with 14nm Comet Lake<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Like its predecessors, the Surface Book 3 is differentiated from other Surface devices by its support for dedicated graphics cards. The 13.5-inch model now comes with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q GPU with 4GB of GDDR5 memory in its Core i7 variant, while the 15-inch unit features a GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q with 6GB of GDDR6 memory. (The base model, meanwhile, only uses Intel&rsquo;s integrated Iris Plus graphics.) Microsoft will also offer 15-inch configurations with an Nvidia Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q GPU&mdash;which is better suited for graphics-intensive design work&mdash;but only through its commercial channels.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The consumer-facing SKUs won&rsquo;t be gaming powerhouses, but Microsoft says it&rsquo;s shooting to play newer games at 1080p at 60 frames per second, a goal the GTX 1660 Ti unit&nbsp;<em>should<\/em>&nbsp;be able to hit with various titles. Still, these are firmly middle-of-the-road options in Nvidia&rsquo;s gaming portfolio, and Microsoft wants to position the Surface Book&rsquo;s gaming abilities more as a point of versatility on a laptop that&rsquo;s already designed for work and has digital pen support.<\/p>\n<p>One thing you still won&rsquo;t find on the Surface Book 3 is a Thunderbolt 3 port. There&rsquo;s still one USB-C port&mdash;which has gone from USB 3.1 Gen 1 to USB 3.1 Gen 2 and thus is capable of slightly faster transfer speeds&mdash;but you won&rsquo;t be able to connect an external GPU down the road or take advantage of the much higher bandwidth Thunderbolt 3 provides. While it&rsquo;s true that not everyone would make use of the standard&rsquo;s full capabilities&mdash;and the eGPU matter is less of an issue on a laptop that can be configured with a discrete GPU&mdash;the omission may still be a sticking point for those who want their premium laptop to be as capable as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, the rest of the I\/O consists of two USB-A 3.1 Gen 2 ports, two Surface Connect ports, an SDXC card reader, and a headphone jack. Elsewhere, there&rsquo;s built-in support for WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5, the same 1080p front- and rear-facing cameras found on the Surface Book 2, and stronger power supplies in the box (65W for the base 13.5-inch version, 127W for the 15-inch SKUs), which addresses a minor complaint we had with the last model. Battery life is now rated at 15.5 hours for the 13.5-inch model and 17.5 hours for the 15-inch model.<\/p>\n<p>The base 13.5-inch Surface Book 3 starts at $1,599.99 and scales up to $2,699, while the 15-incher starts at $2,299.99 and can be configured up to a unit with a 2TB SSD for $3,399.99. It&rsquo;ll start shipping on May 21. Whether you&rsquo;d buy this over the Surface Laptop 3 (or any comparable Windows notebook) will likely depend on how much you value the discrete GPU, the stylus support, and the detachable tablet setup versus a traditional clamshell or two-in-one design.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Surface-Go-2-Render-1-1440x810.jpg\" width=\"903\" height=\"508\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Surface-Go-2-Render-4-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"It&#039;s still hyper-portable but now has a larger display.\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Surface-Go-2-Render-3-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"You&#039;ll probably still want to add a Type Cover to it.\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Surface-Headphones-2-Render-1-1440x810.jpg\" width=\"878\" height=\"494\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Surface-Headphones-2-Render-3-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"The battery life has been increased, and there&#039;s support for aptX audio.\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Surface-Headphones-2-Context-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"They also come in a new matte black finish.\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Compared to their predecessor, the Surface Headphones 2 don&rsquo;t make many changes, but the main ones are significant. First, Microsoft says they now get up to 20 hours of battery life, which would be a significant step up from the 15 hours advertised on the original noise-cancelling pair.<\/p>\n<p>Second, they now support the aptX Bluetooth audio codec. That still isn&rsquo;t supported on iPhones, but it can genuinely help create a more detailed sound compared to the base-level SBC codec, which is all that the first-gen Surface Headphones supported.<\/p>\n<p>Third, the Surface Headphones 2 cost $249. That&rsquo;s $100 less than their predecessors&#8217; MSRP and a nice undercut of the top-rated noise-cancelling cans from Sony and Bose.<\/p>\n<p>Most everything else looks the same as before. The general design appears unchanged (outside of a slick new matte black option), and Microsoft lists the same specs for frequency response, noise-cancelling strength, and internal speakers. This shouldn&rsquo;t be a bad thing: the original Surface Headphones weren&rsquo;t quite as comfortable or strong in noise cancelling as those top pairs, but they were still above-average in both aspects, and their control scheme&mdash;where you rotate dials around the earcups to adjust volume, noise cancelling strength, and ambient sound mode&mdash;was highly intuitive. At a lower starting price, they may have genuine appeal, though we&rsquo;d have to take a listen for ourselves before making any judgments.<\/p>\n<p>The Surface Headphones 2 will start shipping on May 12.<\/p>\n<h2>Surface Earbuds: Let&#8217;s try this again<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Surface-Earbuds-2.jpg\" width=\"734\" height=\"734\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Surface-Earbuds-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Microsoft is promising 8 hours of battery life, with 24 hours in total through the charging case.\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Surface-Earbuds-3-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"If you&#039;ve ever wanted to control a PowerPoint presentation with just your voice, these should suit your extremely specific needs.\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I got a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2019\/10\/hands-on-with-microsofts-barrage-of-new-surface-devices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sneak peek at the Surface Earbuds<\/a>&nbsp;when Microsoft first unveiled them in October. At the time, Microsoft said they&rsquo;d go for $250 and launch by the end of 2019, but after&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/panos_panay\/status\/1197575990194520065\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a months-long delay<\/a>, the company now says they&rsquo;ll cost $199 and start shipping on May 12.<\/p>\n<p>The major features of the earbuds haven&rsquo;t changed much since their initial unveiling. In short, these are totally wireless earbuds along the lines of Apple&rsquo;s AirPods, but with large disc-shaped touch panels on the outside for controlling calls and audio playback.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pullbox sidebar story-sidebar right\">\n<div class=\"story-sidebar-part\">\n<div class=\"story-sidebar-part-content\">\n<h3>FURTHER READING<\/h3>\n<p><a class=\"recommendation-further-reading\" href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2020\/04\/office-365-is-now-microsoft-365-and-its-getting-new-apps-and-features\/\">Microsoft announces Microsoft 365, a service to replace personal Office 365<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Microsoft says they&rsquo;ll get eight hours of battery life on their own, which is a ways above the AirPods and AirPods Pro.

Each earbud has two built-in microphones, which should help with call quality.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As before, Microsoft says they&rsquo;ll be able to link to a Spotify Premium account and, on Android phones, start streaming music from the service with a triple-tap on one of the earbuds.

The Surface Dock 2 is a USB-C dock that connects to newer Surface devices through the proprietary Surface Connect port and adds four USB-C ports, two USB-A 3.2 ports, and a Gigabit Ethernet jack for $259.99. It&rsquo;ll start shipping on May 26.<\/p>\n<p>A new Microsoft USB-C Travel Hub, meanwhile, is a more portable option with a USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 port, a USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port, a Gigabit Ethernet jack, and HDMI 2.0 and VGA connectors.
