Windows 11 brings you closer to what you love
Family, friends, passions, music, creations – Windows 11 is the one place for it all. With a fresh new feel and tools that make it easier to be efficient, it has what you need for whatever’s next.
Get the most out of your screen space
Choose 13.5” for the perfect balance of productivity and portability; or 15” for the best streaming, split-screen multitasking, and gaming experiences. The Surface signature 3:2 ratio gives you the most vertical screen real estate on a laptop³.
AMD Ryzen Microsoft Surface Edition processor
Power to do what you want with up to 70% more speed than before.
8GB system memory for advanced multitasking
Substantial high-bandwidth RAM to smoothly run your games and photo- and video-editing applications, as well as multiple programs and browser tabs all at once.
128GB solid state drive (SSD)
While offering less storage space than a hard drive, a flash-based SSD has no moving parts, resulting in faster start-up times and data access, no noise, and reduced heat production and power draw on the battery.
Make it your own
Slim, sleek design with rich tone-on-tone colors in warm Alcantara material or cool metal finish. Choose from new Ice Blue, plus Sandstone, Matte Black, and Platinum².
The best of Microsoft, all in one place
Protect your files and photos in the cloud with integrated OneDrive storage. Work seamlessly across devices with Microsoft 365.* And, get started right away with the Windows you know⁴.
AMD Radeon Graphics
Integrated graphics provides everyday image quality for Internet use, video streaming and casual gaming.

Go from low battery to full faster with Fast Charging – up to 80% in about an hour⁵. Feel free to move about your home or workspace easily with significantly longer battery life than before¹.
Show your best side on video calls
Sharp video and image quality, even in low light, thanks to a front-facing 720p HD camera and be heard loud and clear with dual far-field Studio Mics that capture your voice and reduce background noise.
Connect in more ways
Plug in the accessories you use today with built-in USB-C and USB-A ports, Surface Connect for charging, and headphone jack.

This is a great budget laptop.
||Posted .People think that they have to have a computer with professional specs. But the average person would never use all that power for as long as they own the device. But I get it, most people want to future proof their investment. But the way I see it, no matter how much you spend. You're going to upgrade within 4 to 5 year's anyway so why not think about what you're going to be doing with it in the first place. Most apps are optimized for low powered devices anyway so you'll never need a high end device to start with. But hey, I can't tell you how to spend your money. But for me, I only keep a device for about two years anyway because I love new technology. But for the average person this is a great product.

Too Little Storage
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I love most everything about the laptop. The Alcantara suede on the keyboard feels amazing and the Windows Hello facial recognition lets me log on securely without raising a finger. The downside is that Best Buy seems to have gotten a custom spec'd version of this laptop with only 128GB. After the upgrade to Windows 11 and a few apps for work (Teams, Office, Chrome and Zoom) I'm left with 11GB.

You WANT this laptop!
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Exceptional product. Not a MAC person- and won’t become one. Was sick of the cheap laptops that die in a year or two. Surface Pro was recommended and I am so glad I went with that advice. You won’t regret buying this very versatile but complete, technology. Also- for the first time- an employee explained the technical support package Best But offers- this time we bought it

Review: AMD's impact on Surface Laptop 4 (15") makes a big differenceSurface Laptop 4 gets a significant boost in performance thanks to AMD Ryzen R7, but there are also many qualifications to that statement.

Q: QuestionAre RAM memory and drive upgradable on this laptop? (I think ram is soldered, but want to confirm)
Asked by Steve.
- A:Answer Memory is soldered on the motherboard and there are no additional slots. The SSD is upgradable but challenging to install. Also you will void the warranty, so keep the old drive if you need to take it in. Hope this helps.
