The most powerful Surface ever: Surface Book 2

The line-up will also be available for commercial customers via Authorised Device Resellers including AsiaPac Distribution Pte Ltd, JK Technology Pte Ltd, and UIC Asian Computer Services Pte Ltd.

Surface Book 2 will be available in 13.5” or 15” options, and boasts an impressive 17-hour battery life for marathon productivity sessions.
From running software such as Adobe Creative Cloud and Autodesk, to playing great games such as Forza Motorsport 7 or Gears of War at 1080p, 60fps, it is more than prepared to support users’ workload for work or for play.
Performance meets style: Surface Laptop

In addition, the new Surface Store in Singapore is a commitment to deliver a one-stop experience for customers to experience the ultimate Windows devices that brings the best of Microsoft in one location,” said Veronica Chiu, Windows and Devices Business Group Lead, Microsoft Singapore.
More than a traditional laptop, Surface Laptop is priced from S$1,488, and 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 kilograms2and less than 14.5mm thin, Surface Laptop fits nicely into your favourite bag, and is lightweight for users to bring around.

Surface Studio is an entirely new device designed for the creative process.
Its roomy and adjustable 28” PixelSense Display coupled with the innovative Zero Gravity Hinge provides a huge canvas for all kinds of work.
Position it upright to sketch, paint, and edit photos, or lay it flat to draw on it like a drafting table.
Pair it with the Surface Dial3 for both on-screen and off-screen experiences that enable you to interact with applications in natural ways that deliver a fluid creative process.
Surface Studio will be available at S$6,488.
The Surface Store at Harvey Norman Millenia Walk Flagship Superstore will open officially on 10 March 2018, and will offer a new Surface Concierge service where customers can get support for their Surface device, regardless of where or when it was purchased. Microsoft plans to add additional services to the Surface Concierge over time.
