AI, Arm, and Copilot: Microsoft's Surface Laptop 7 Reviewed
"I bought the 13.8-inch tablet for £799 (c $1,100) from my local computer store. My configuration came with a bright 2304 x 1536 pixel screen, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB SSD (which was actually more like 474 GB after formatting). The Surface 7 isn't the lightest in the field, weighing in at 2.95 pounds (1.34 kg), when other laptops like the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon tip the scales at less than 2.5 pounds (1.13 kg)."
"It also can manage up to 20 hours of local video playback, Microsoft claims. In real-world usage, I found that translated to around ten hours of productivity applications - more than enough for a day's work between power outlets. It's very important to understand that battery life is highly dependent on what you are doing. In my case, this mainly involves using productivity applications, web surfing, and occasionally firing up a virtual machine."
Surface Laptop 7 launched in Arm and Intel variants and offers a 13.8-inch 2304 x 1536 display, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB SSD (about 474 GB after formatting). The laptop weighs 2.95 pounds (1.34 kg) and provides a minimalist port selection of two USB-C and one USB-A. Microsoft claims up to 20 hours of local video playback; typical productivity workloads deliver around ten hours. The keyboard and trackpad perform reliably while the system runs quiet and cool. The Arm model uses a Snapdragon X Plus 10-core CPU, carries Copilot+ branding, and runs Windows 11 for Arm, which still shows immaturity and compatibility issues.
