Specifications
Processor
The engine that makes it all go, the processor determines the speed at which your system runs programs, loads pages and downloads files. The more powerful and updated your processor, the faster your PC's overall performance.
RAM
RAM (Random Access Memory) temporarily stores and remembers data from your OS, apps and programs, delivering quick access to information when needed. More RAM means faster overall performance with the ability to run more apps, programs and files simultaneously.
Storage
Surface devices come with a solid state drive (SSD), which provide faster boot-ups and access to data, greater durability, longer battery life and higher shock resistance when compared to a hard disk drive (HDD). 128GB is good for email and productivity apps, internet browsing and other basic functions. Between 256GB and 1TB is good for most photo, music and video files, as well as word processing and spreadsheet creation. More than 1TB is good for large digital libraries, video games, and powerful apps like Adobe Creative Suite.
Graphics Processing Unit
The GPU accelerates graphics, creative and AI workflows. A more powerful GPU will increase system performance during activities such as gaming, livestreaming, video editing, 3D design, photo editing, graphic design, engineering, computer science and AI-accelerated tools.
