The all-new Surface Laptop 2 continues to deliver outstanding performance for users seeking a stylish yet conventional device. Sleek and light, with improved speed and performance enabled by the latest 8th Generation Intel Quad Core processor, Surface Laptop 2 is 85 per cent more powerful than its predecessor.

With up to 14.5 hours of battery life, Surface Laptop 2 is crafted with its premium design, PixelSense Touch Display, and best in class keyboard and trackpad.  Surface Laptop 2 is more than a workhorse – it is a style statement.

Surface Laptop 2 quiets the sounds you do not want to hear while amplifying the sounds you do want to hear. It barely makes a sound when a user closes the lid or types on the Alcantara keyboard. However, with the built-in OmniSonic speakers discreetly hidden below the keyboard, sounds are brought to life.
