The device comes in four colors, gold, platinum, blue, and burgundy and ditches a metal area around the keyboard for soft microfiber. It has a 13.5-inch (34.3 centimeter) touchscreen, runs the latest Intel processors, and gets 14 hours of battery life, according to Microsoft. It will also be equipped with Microsoft’s new Windows 10S operating system, software the company presented Tuesday that will be faster and offer better security than previous versions.
