  • Improving audio performance while streaming content.
  • Improving the device color profile performance.
  • Improving graphics performance and the display resolution through 3rd party docks.

On the other hand, once installed, these updates can’t be rolled back to a previous version.

While Surface Laptop 3 is the latest model in its line, the Surface Book line already has a new member since spring 2020 – Surface Book 3.

But until you try out this newcomer, firmware updates will ensure you get the best of your current device.
