Looks like Microsoft is on a roll today, releasing four different products under the "Surface" family. You have the Surface Pro 6, Surface Laptop 2, the desktop Surface Studio 2 and a new Surface Headphone. Just for the record, these devices aren't in Malaysia yet but whenever should they arrive, the price tag is going to be quite hefty. Anyway, let's take a look at what they are offering.

Starting with the Surface Pro 6, it features the latest 8th generation processor and according to Microsoft, this new tablet is 67% faster than its predecessor because it comes with an improved internal cooling system. For the memory, it has 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD, which is more than enough for a professional to do his or her work on the 12.3-inch display and has 13.5 hours of battery life, no USB C ports, though. The company will start selling the Core i5 model first with $899 (~RM3720) from 16 October 2018.

Next up, the company continues to boast on the Surface Laptop 2 that it's 85% faster than its predecessor and it features the thinnest LCD screen panel ever measuring at 13.5-inch with 1500:1 contrast ratio. Like the Surface Pro 6, it's using the latest 8th generation processor, a battery life of up to 14.5 hours and it also doesn't have any USB C ports. It will be on sale for $999 (~RM4133) on 16 October as well.

Continuing on to the Surface Studio 2, it's equipped with NVIDIA's next generation Pascal graphics (not RTX GPU) with a huge 2TB SSD inside. They removed the hybrid disk drive for some reason but it has a brighter screen, thanks to the DCI-P3 colour space that gives 38% brighter screen and 22% more contrast. This one cost $3499 (~RM14478), by the way.

Last but not least, this is a new addition to the company for producing wireless headset. The Surface Headphone can be connected via Bluetooth and from the video, it sure looks cool that you are able to adjust the noise cancellation (13 levels) by simply rotating the outer ear rim. You can accept incoming calls and even talk to Cortana on-the-go. For the price tag, this cost $350 (~RM1448) but has no scheduled date yet.

So what do you think about these new Surface devices? For me, I'd like to try out the Surface Headphone. Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more Microsoft news at TechNave.com.
