Exceptionally durable build quality + battery life
Prior positive experiences with Microsoft SurfacePro tablets convinced me to choose the new Surface Laptop 7 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus processor when my wife wanted a new Win11 laptop. Surface build quality is notably excellent. It looks good, feels good, and performs brilliantly with the new Qualcomm Copilot-compatible processor. The ARM processor provides unbelievable speed and battery life. I've had zero compatibility issues so far. Our prior Surface products are still in reliable service years after competitive products are typically dead and gone. Microsoft's build quality matters and is appreciated. Other features I particularly like? I prefer laptops without a right-side number pad to keep the touchpad centered. Check. The aluminum case is more rigid and lasts longer than plastic competitors. I love the touchscreen (which MacBook Airs don't offer). The Surface's large touchpad feels great and works consistently well. The screen has a notably narrow bezel. The magnetic power connection protects against cord trips becoming a disaster. It's hard to imagine a conventional laptop much nicer than this for under $1,000. The only feature I miss versus the SurfacePro is the micro SD card slot on the tablet (missing on the Surface Laptop). But since we own a SurfacePro as well, I'm covered when I need that functionality.

The Perfect Laptop!
Went into Best Buy because I was so overwhelmed looking at laptops online. There were so many contradicting reviews and I just couldn't tell which laptop would be a good fit for me. I was helped immediatley and shown a handful of different computers and gave me all the specs. Ended up going with the 7th Edition Surface and I couldn't be happier! It is one of the best laptops I have used and does everything I need it to and then some. I use it a great deal for work and also for crafting, web browsing, and socials. The games are pretty great too! I love the Copilot feature! Highly recommend!!
