"While Apple may have the first-party laptop market cornered with the MacBook lineup, Microsoft's Surface laptops have been steadily improving over the last few years, and are now an increasingly appealing option. Last year's seventh generation Surface Laptop is currently marked down by $350 on Amazon for the base model, bringing the price down to a tantalizing $849. While the screen is a somewhat rare 3:2 aspect ratio, it's an excellent panel for everyday use and productivity."
"It can reach a decently bright 600 nits, which should be plenty for a quick work call from the park, and has a 120-hz refresh rate, which should smooth things out a bit, even if you don't plan on gaming. It's a touch panel as well, in case you like to get physical with your Windows, but I'm still not super enthused by the touchscreen support in the Microsoft OS."
Microsoft's seventh-generation Surface Laptop is on sale with the base model discounted $350 to $849 and an upgraded configuration discounted by $400. The laptop features a 3:2 touch display that reaches about 600 nits brightness and a 120 Hz refresh rate, suitable for productivity and smooth motion. Microsoft uses Qualcomm Snapdragon mobile processors for ARM-based performance with built-in Windows emulation for non-ARM programs, though some custom or third-party applications may encounter issues. The system targets AI workloads, but AI features produce mixed results, with functional items like AI captioning and other features showing odd side effects.
