This is the latest Surface laptop from Microsoft with Snapdragon X Series processor. I have been a Microsoft Surface user since it was introduced. I have used mostly the Pro devices, but this is my first laptop with an ARM processor. This ultraportable laptop has a sleek design with the thinnest bezels of any Surface I have ever used. This lightweight laptop comes with a 13.8" beautiful PixelSense display that supports touchscreen and a dynamic refresh rate of 120Hz.
Coming to the processor, this one is powered by the Snapdragon X Elite SoC. This is the first Windows on Arm processor that competes with other silicon, and you can't find the latest Surface devices in any other silicon variants. I was initially hesitant because of the applications that might not be supported for this architecture, but I was able to install most of them available. A handful of the applications that are not yet updated for the arm64 version do run on Microsoft's emulation. The best part is that you might not notice any difference when running any application if it runs natively via the emulator.
The best feature of this laptop is the battery. I have used laptops where I needed to charge them every day, sometimes multiple times in a day. This Surface lasts 2-3 days of runtime before I need to charge again. You can simply say this is a device that is designed to last all day for your workday. Another notable feature of the laptop is the repairability. Microsoft has made is much easier to replace the parts like SSD, battery, etc. but beware of breaking any warranty.
The sleek laptop design still accommodates a full USB A port, two USB C ports, and the 3.5mm audio jack. On the right side, you have the Surface magnetic connector option if you would like to use the included 39W power supply. You can also charge it via the USB C ports or connect to a docking station. The keyboard design is smooth and typing on it is so comfortable. The backlit keyboard is very responsive and tactile. The trackpad is a haptic touchpad and is the smoothest and largest one I have ever used. You can feel the clicks and it is fully customizable for your usage.
This Surface laptop comes with Copilot+PC preinstalled. This is the AI assistant that can be interacted natively with via text and can be launched using the dedicated button on the keyboard. This is enabled by the dedicated Neural Processing Unit onboard. Copilot+ includes a collection of features like AI image generation, enhanced video calls, real time language translation and transcription. This is just a start and there will be more features added in the future by other applications as well.
Overall, this is the best Windows laptop I have ever owned and used. If you ever wanted to have a MacBook like device with Windows OS, this is it.

Sleek, stylish laptop. Didn’t need the tablet functions of the Surface Pro, so this checked all the boxes for what I needed. Good deal on Black Friday sale

The build quality is great but copilot is extremely intrusive, and the snapdragon processor doesn't have the architecture to run a lot of apps natively, meaning it has to emulate the apps which significantly hinders performance. My coding IDE's and various planning apps ran absolutely horrible. Don't recommend
