According to Windows Central, the Surface Laptop Go 3 is expected to feature last year’s Intel chips, which is in line with budget laptops typically featuring previous-generation processors. This rumored iteration is likely to be powered by a 12th-Gen Intel Core i5, which is not necessarily a drawback. Even 11th-Gen chips are capable of handling daily tasks and casual laptop use effectively. Furthermore, 12th-Gen chips are known for their energy efficiency, potentially leading to significantly improved battery life compared to the Laptop Go 2’s 13.5-hour endurance.
The same source asserts that Microsoft may discontinue the 4GB RAM model, which is a sensible move in today’s computing landscape. The Surface Laptop Go 3 is rumored to offer 8GB and 16GB RAM options, with storage starting at 256GB SSD and the highest configuration sporting an i5 processor, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD storage.
