Surface Laptop 6 Specifications Leak Reveal Two Models With Different Sizes & Intel 13th-Gen CPUs, Battery Life Rivaling Apple’s M-Series MacBooks

wccftech.com:

Microsoft is sticking with its typical launch plan, where it unveils two Surface Laptop 6 models in display sizes of 13.5 and 15 inches. According to the latest specifications leak, both machines will switch over to Intel’s 13th-generation mobile processors, bringing additional cores and performance to the table. If those details hold true, then the new Surface Laptop series will also deliver battery life that competes directly with Apple’s M-series of MacBooks.

First, let us talk about the displays first, with Laptop Root having uploaded the specifications sheet of the Surface Laptop 6 family. Microsoft will retain its PixelSense Display technology, with the 13.5-inch model having a 2256 x 1504 resolution, while the larger 15-inch model resonating a 2496 x 1664 resolution. Both panels will be protected by Gorilla Glass 5 (except for the 13.5-inch version with the Alcantara palm rest, which will feature Gorilla Glass 3) and have 10-point multi-touch support.

The display quality is said to be top-notch, supporting the sRGB color profile and having a contrast ratio of 1300:1. The processor options that are said to be used are the Intel Core i5-1335U and the Core i7-1355U. The 13.5-inch version of the Surface Laptop 6 can be configured with both chips, while the 15-inch model will only ship with the Core i7-1355U. As for the number of cores, both chips have a 10-core configuration, with two performance and eight power-efficiency ones.

Perhaps the only major difference between the two processors is the base clock speed and Turbo Frequency, making the Core i5-1335U a better option if you want to save more money, though it will mean you cannot purchase the 15-inch Surface Laptop 6. Also, there is no discreet GPU present on either
