"The Surface Laptop is more than capable of powering through a 12-hour day and handling typical productivity tasks with ease. The laptop offers impressive standby times, too, while the quiet, tactile keyboard is a pleasure to type on, and some might even prefer it to the MacBook Air's. The mechanical trackpad isn't haptic, but clicks still feel surprisingly well-defined and crisp. You also get a sharp 1080p webcam, two USB-C 3.2 ports, and one USB-A 3.1 port."
"Granted, the laptop won't keep up with the M4-powered MacBook Air in creative apps or gaming, but lighter titles like Vampire Survivors and Balatro run just fine. The 3:2 display is also well-suited for both work and play, and the four-speaker setup is perfectly adequate for streaming shows and listening to music. There's even a 3.5mm combo audio jack if you prefer wired headphones."
Microsoft's 13-inch Surface Laptop 1st Edition with an 8-core Snapdragon X Plus, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB storage is available for $549.99, a significant discount. The device provides long battery life capable of powering a 12-hour day and strong standby times. The keyboard is quiet and tactile, and the mechanical trackpad offers well-defined clicks. The laptop includes a sharp 1080p webcam, two USB-C 3.2 ports, and a USB-A 3.1 port. Performance suits typical productivity tasks and lighter games, while heavier creative workloads and gaming lag behind M4-powered MacBook Airs. The 3:2 display, four-speaker setup, and 3.5mm audio jack support media and work use.
