What is a Surface event without a Panos Panay? Microsoft answered the existential question today during a New York City Windows event. The company broke out the big guns in the absence of the longtime division head Panay (whose hasty exit from the company was announced earlier this week), as CEO Satya Nadella took the stage. But hardware was the real star of the show today – specifically the Surface Laptop Go 3 and Surface Laptop Studio 2.

Fifteen months after the Laptop Go 2 debuted with a new fingerprint reader, its successor arrives with new internals. The system is powered by the 12th-gen Intel Core i5 CPU and Intel Iris Xe graphics. Microsoft is comparing performance to the original Surface Laptop Go, which arrived at the end of 2020, stating that it represents an 88% speed bump.
