It’s a very nice laptop! That’s the gist of it. The Surface Laptop is basically Microsoft’s direct competitor to the MacBook Air and lower-end MacBook Pros. It’s thin and incredibly light — but then, so are plenty of ultraportables these days. What makes it special are Microsoft’s many other design touches. The case is made out of smooth metal that simply feels great. It’s a well-balanced and solid-feeling machine all around. And the keyboard area is draped in Alcantara, a comfortable cloth-like material commonly seen in cars, which makes it ideal for your wrists.
Speaking of the keyboard, it feels similar to the Surface Book’s, but it’s even easier to type on. The large trackpad is also one of the smoothest I’ve seen on a Windows PC. I didn’t have much time to stress the Surface Laptop, but it had no problem juggling a few web pages and loading up a 4K YouTube video. That, by the way, made the Laptop’s 13.5-inch screen shine. It’s bright and colorful, just like the displays on its Surface siblings.
