Microsoft announced a new 5G version of its Surface Laptop today, which will start shipping on August 26th starting at $1,799.99.
The Surface Laptop 5G is powered by Intel’s Core Ultra Series 2 processors, complete with an NPU capable of providing access to Microsoft’s latest Copilot Plus AI features.
The Surface Laptop 5G is very similar to the existing 13.8-inch Surface Laptop 7 model, except Microsoft has made some internal changes to accommodate a 5G modem and support for a physical nano SIM on the side of the laptop, as well as eSIMs.
The nano SIM slot on the Surface Laptop 5G sits beside the Surface Connect charging port.
The Surface Laptop 5G is designed primarily for businesses, which will also get access to the latest Surface Laptop 13-inch and Surface Pro 12-inch models starting today.
