So what are the leaks telling us about the upcoming Microsoft Surface laptop which is also being termed as the Chromebook Killer? renowned tipster WalkingCat has revealed loads of images on his Twitter handle from which we get an idea about the specification details of the Surface Laptop. According to those images, the laptop is going to flaunt a 13.5-inch PixelSense screen with 3:2 aspect ratio and 3.4 million pixels; although the exact pixel resolution of the device is still unknown. The brand new laptop will run on the Windows 10 S operating system, a lighter version of the existing Windows 10 OS and will only support the verified apps from the Windows Store. Earlier, the rumours were rife that the Windows 10 S would be termed as the Windows 10 Cloud and will only support a selective number of Universal Windows Platform apps from the Windows Store.

Moreover, the leaks also suggest that the upcoming Microsoft Surface laptop will be 14.47mm thick at the rear, and 9.9mm thick at the front and will weigh only 1.25kg. Not only that, the laptop will be available in four different colours; Cobalt Blue, Platinum, Burgundy and Graphite Gold. According to the leaked images, the Surface laptop is going to come with a Surface power connector, a regular USB port and a mini DisplayPort. It is quite unusual that no USB Type-C port has been noticed in these leaked images. Finally, the leaked images also suggest that much like the existing Surface 4 laptop, the upcoming Chromebook killer will also sport an Alcantara keyboard.
