Microsoft has launched a new version of its Surface Laptop today, bringing the base unit price down to $799. The software giant quietly unveiled the cheaper Surface Laptop over at the Microsoft Store, and the new $799 variant ships with Intel’s Core m3 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. That makes the new base model slower and cheaper than the previous version at $999 that shipped with a Core i5 processor and the same low amount of RAM.

Windows Central points out that the cheaper Surface Laptop model now competes directly with Microsoft’s base Surface Pro model, which also includes Intel’s Core m3 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. Microsoft still sells the essential Surface Type Cover separately, so you do need to factor in an additional $129.99 to get a comparable device.

A quiet launch for a cheaper Surface Laptop

Microsoft hasn’t revealed exactly why it’s introducing a cheaper model, but the launch comes just days after the software maker revealed its Surface revenue had only increased 1 percent year-over-year in the crucial holiday quarter. Microsoft launched its Surface Laptop, and refreshed its Surface Pro earlier in 2017, but both devices haven’t done a lot to help increase revenue over the popular holiday shopping quarter.

Pricing appears to be an important factor that could be holding back Microsoft’s Surface devices, particularly outside the US where pricing has been gradually increasing. A cheaper Surface Laptop at the entry price could certainly help with sales numbers and those all important revenue figures.

世界行動通訊大會MWC 2024近期剛剛落幕,本次展出重點聚焦在AI、5G、物聯網、創新科技、工業4.0等主題。Podcast節目《娜你知道嗎》主持人莫娜,在本集節目中就來分享在會展上特別受到矚目的產品。

首先,Lenovo展出一款全新ThinkBook。它採用了17.3吋的Micro LED顯示器,打造了無邊框螢幕,可以選擇半透明或是不透明顯示,即使是透明顯示,仍可以看影片或進行其他筆記型電腦的操作。它也沒有實體鍵盤,而是採用虛擬鍵盤,實際上會是一塊觸控板,AI會根據手部動作偵測,判斷鍵盤的位置。此外,這款透明

接著,Motorola展示了一款可以彎曲的智慧手機,採用6.9吋的pOLED顯示幕,具備Full HD OLED。不僅可以彎曲成各種角度戴在手腕上,也能夠獨立站立在桌面上,更像是手錶與手機的結合體

此外,會展上還有兩台車特別引人注目。第一台是小米所推出的電動車SU7,MWC是它的第一次正式亮相。這款藍綠色的SU7電動車,具備五大全新技術,包括小米超級馬達、小米自家的CTB電池技術、自動駕駛技術、最長800km續航、0-100km/h只需2.78秒等等。目前SU7已確定會量產。

另一台受則是來自美國新創公司的Alef飛行原型車。它可以像普通汽車一樣在地面上行駛,也可以像直升機一樣在空中升起飛行。外觀上非常像一個飛碟,為了減輕重量,車身上設有風扇,表面設有孔洞。目前Alef已製造兩台原型車,車輛擁有8個引擎,採用電力推進。雖然,這樣的飛行車對於解決交通擁堵問題會非常方便,但距離空中交通法規的實現,還有一大段距離。

莫娜最後總結,雖然這次手機產品的亮點不多,但也展出了許多令人驚豔的創新產品,展示了科技的未來趨勢,與讓人期待的未來發展。
