Microsoft - Surface Laptop - 13.8" 2K Touchscreen - Snapdragon X Plus 2024 - 16GB Memory - 512GB Storage (7th Ed) - Copilot+ PC - Sapphire

As an avid writer, this is the perfect laptop for me. I have been using it for just over a month. I’ve found my favorite things and somethings that may not be for everyone. Well start with my list of pros: Battery Life 5/5 I am in my laptop ALL the time. Like for hours and as a result I only have to plug it in after high usage once a day. Now, coming from a laptop that had 5 hours of battery life before, this is a dream. If I’m not doing mild video watching, editing, or streaming, it easily could last longer and I probably wouldn’t have to use the charger a second time. Soft Touch Keyboard 5/5 Controversial, but the soft touch keyboard is SO NICE. Now if you’re the type of person who likes a soft keyboard, where it doesn’t click, it doesn’t have the extra bounce mechanical does, and it’s more flat, this is perfect. That’s what I personally want. I don’t want my fingers to bounce while writing. I end up hitting other keys and it’s so annoying. This doesn’t happen here. I will say, my sister HATES soft touch. She hates using my computer. Which, fine, it’s my personal preference. Touchscreen 4/5 I had a Lenovo Thinkbook for about 5-6 years that was touchscreen. I loved it. It’s so nice to scroll and you don’t have to carry around a mouse. It was one thing I looked for in a laptop actually. This blew my old laptop out of the water. It’s so smooth! The only thing is the reflective screen does show fingerprints easier from the side. But I just use a microfiber cloth here and there. Design 4.5/5 Lightweight, beautiful, soft close, sleek, light blue color, backlit keyboard. I love the design. The only thing is when sitting on a couch or somewhere that’s not a flat surface, it’s awkward with how sleek it is. Coming from a writer who sometimes likes to write on the couch. Cons Light Reflection 2/5 Now, I love the screen. It’s beautiful. I personally don’t sit outside with my laptop. So this isn’t a huge issue for me. However, it does reflect light a decent amount. So keep that in mind. Processor 3/5 This is absolutely NOT a gaming computer. I have a gaming PC. So I didn’t need it to be. I knew that going in. I did attempt to download Steam for my interactive Wallpapers. Nope. It slowed everything down so much. This is not a gaming PC at all. I haven’t tired other games because my Wallpapers were so low on the processor that I thought maybe. But I quickly uninstalled. However, minimal video editing it does seem to be decent. On the low end. Overall Laptop Rating: 4/5 My Personal Needs: 5/5

I’ve had the Microsoft Surface Laptop Copilot+ PC (7th Edition) for about a month now, and I seriously love everything about it. The 13.8" touchscreen is super clear and responsive, and the performance with the Snapdragon X Plus and 16GB of memory is smooth and fast. Whether I’m streaming, browsing, or multitasking, it handles everything like a champ. The 512GB SSD gives me plenty of space for all my files, and the battery life is amazing—it easily lasts all day. The new Copilot+ AI tools are a game-changer and I can’t wait to take full advantage of them for college. I know this laptop is going to help me stay organized and productive during my studies. The Sapphire color is sleek and professional, and the price was surprisingly affordable for what you get. It feels premium without breaking the bank. Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better deal or a better machine to start this next chapter of my life. Highly recommend to any student looking for a reliable and a good looking laptop!

I have to say that I am absolutely shocked at what Microsoft has done here. They have created a laptop that has incredible build, fluid beyond belief and it just works!. Everything works on it. I haven't ran into any issues. My biggest concern was the heat management and battery life, to which I am happy to report, has been STELLAR!. Yes, it does not get 20 hours of battery life, but after using it for half a day non-stop with multiple video calls, 8 Google tabs open, YouTube running for music, MS docs everywhere with the occasional news search, I still have over 65%!!!. The charger is a breeze and a pleasure to use and I never thought I would be saying that about a charger. Any cons??? Maybe. Its not light, which I will gladly accept for the longer battery life and quality build. No OLED??? Sure, but the LCD screen is incredibly beautiful and easy on the eyes. I'd rather lose the "pop" of color for more battery. Its incredible operation and smoothness I am attributing to the Snapdragon X Plus and the 512g of RAM. It works as it is meant to. Yes, I do not do graphic design, super intensive renderings yada yada, but for office and everyday, its a beast. Overall...I am not returning this thing. My expectations have been met and then some more.

Amazing colors and elegantly made. I liked the edge design. It is pretty smooth in operations and also super thin and light to carry anywhere. Totally worth the price match with black friday deal. Definitely go for xplus snap dragon over elite as it is much better value over the price tag. Overall super satisfied being an old intel user trying out snap dragon for the first time.

I love this laptop. I am very particular about things like the trackpad and screen and was about to give up on Windows and go back to MacBooks because I couldn’t find something that was a complete package without something that annoyed me, but the Surface solved all my issues. The 120hz screen with the taller aspect ratio makes web browsing so much more comfortable, and is vibrant and great for content consumption. I tried other laptops first because I really wanted OLED, but those still have compromises like not being bright enough and having a “screen door effect” and consuming more power if you use light mode, the screen on the Surface is preferable to all of that IMO (not to mention not having to worry about burn in). The trackpad feels great without any palm rejection issues. The keyboard is great. The speakers sound full and get plenty loud, very close to the 13” MacBook Pro I was coming from. This laptop gets so many little things right like having a USB A port so you can use a mouse easier and it’s so nice not having to uninstall all the OEM bloatware, it’s basically stock Windows. And the battery life lasts a full day easy. I primarily just care about having premium hardware for web browsing and content consumption so Windows on ARM doesn’t bother me, and the extra battery life is worth it. The only concern I’ve run into so far is that Discord doesn’t have a native ARM version yet so it’s slightly slower in that. Basically everything I’ve tried that isn’t gaming still feels snappy and responsive. And this blue color is AMAZING. Please Microsoft keep it around for future generations!!
