The Surface Laptop uses the latest, seventh-generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, which have the Intel HD 620 and Intel Iris Plus 640 integrated graphics processors respectively. The flat aluminium lid of the Surface Laptop. Processor: Intel Core i5 or i7 (7th generation)Ĭonnectivity: Wi-Fiac, Bluetooth 4.0, USB 3.0, mini DisplayPort, headphones, TPMĭimensions: 308.1 mm x 223.27 mm x 14.48 mm It’s 3:2 ratio means it’s a bit easier to be productive, with more vertical screen real estate, but watching video isn’t as good because of the big, thick black bars at the top and bottom. The bezels around the screen are pretty small, but not quite as miniscule as the edge-to-edge display of the Dell XPS 13. Colour rich, pin-sharp and bright enough to use in most environments, it rivals the best from Apple, but is slightly more reflective and therefore subject to a bit more glare. It’s certainly attractive whether open or closed, though the bevelled Alcantara deck looks a bit odd with the lid shut, as if it’s not properly closed.

A matt aluminium body, shiny Windows logo and a tapered profile. The Alcantara aside, the rest of the design is Microsoft-minimalist. It looks and feels a bit strange at first, but I found it surprisingly comfortable to lay my palms on as I typed. It’s an artificial material that feels like super-fine suede, which is apparently used in racing car seats and appears to be the latest thing in consumer electronics. That’s because the deck of the Laptop – the part into which the keyboard and trackpad are mounted – is covered in a fabric called Alcantara. The deck of the Surface Laptop is covered in a microfibre-style fabric.
