The exclusive AMD Ryzen™ Microsoft Surface® Edition processor inside Surface Laptop 3 15” is designed to give you outstanding responsiveness with 15% more graphics performance (GPU) and 10% more processor performance when compared to other AMD mobile processors — all in an ultra-slim 15” laptop.2

The AMD Ryzen™ 7 Microsoft Surface® Edition processor is the fastest 15” in its class² — thin, light, and 3.40 lbs. The AMD Ryzen™ 5 Microsoft Surface® Edition processor is over two times faster than Surface Laptop 2.

Discover the stunning everyday 15” laptop that gives you the perfect balance of performance, portability, and long battery life in a slim form factor.
