Microsoft claims the device will have an improved battery life of up to 15 hours, thanks to the more efficient CPU.[5]

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.
