This display works with the Surface Pen, but Microsoft doesn't include one. Read: Surface Laptop Release Date & Features Microsoft offers a lot of Surface Laptop configurations. Inside, Intel’s 7th Generation Core i5 and Core i7 processors are at work. You can order it with as little as 4GB of RAM and as much as 16GB of RAM. The most storage you can get is 1TB, but the cheapest model has just 128GB of space for programs, apps, games, music, and movies. A full-size USB 3.0 port, headset jack, mini DisplayPort and docking port let you connect your other devices and a smartphone to it. Also, you can log into the device with its Windows Hello camera without tapping a single key. The outside of the notebook can reflect your taste.
