Microsoft announced that the Surface Laptop is now available for pre-orders in Malaysia from local Surface authorized retailers which include top retailers and official Microsoft store. Starting from RM4499 and will officially launch in the market on 7 February, 2018.
Surface Laptop is the perfect balance of portability, performance and elegance, and is more than just a traditional laptop, the company said. Powered by Windows 10 S, Surface Laptop is engineered to start fast and stay fast with a 7th generation Intel Core processor and up to 14.5 hours of battery life to last through the day. At just 1.25 kilograms and less than 14.5mm thin, the Surface Laptop fits nicely into your favorite bag, and is lightweight for users to bring around.
“We are excited to be bringing Surface Laptop to Malaysia for customers who are seeking a differentiated laptop experience,” said Michal Golebiewski, Chief Marketing and Operations Officer, Microsoft Malaysia. “Meticulously crafted to deliver a portable and performance packed experience, Surface Laptop empowers our customers to unleash their creative potential by bringing the best of Windows and Office together, while redefining its category.”
For those seeking to showcase their individuality, Surface Laptop is available in a rich tone-on-tone Platinum colour. The signature keyboard is covered in luxurious Alcantara material and features a quiet and responsive keyset, large precision trackpad, and soft palm rest for a new level of typing comfort, it claims.
Every detail is crafted to bring new form and function to the classic laptop design, drawing the user in. The vibrant 13.5-inch PixelSense Display is optimized for touch and inking for an immersive experience, and the optically bonded Corning Gorilla Glass 3 makes it as durable as it is beautiful. The Surface Laptop will also support the new Surface Pen and Surface Dial off-screen interaction.
Shipping with Windows 10 S, a new Windows experience streamlined for security and superior performance, Surface Laptop starts up and runs faster with InstantOn and an OS optimized for sustained performance. With Windows 10 S, applications that are downloaded from the Windows Store are first verified for security, and then locally run in a safe “container” to ensure that Windows 10 S offers the power of full-featured applications.
Customers pre-ordering the Surface Laptop can also be able to enjoy some exciting offers. Up for grabs is the JBL T450BT Wireless On-ear Headphones and a 1-year subscription to Office 365 Personal, on a first-come first-serve basis, while stocks last from 10 January to 6 February.
