Surface Laptop 4 Reviewed at Engadget

Check out the review of the Surface Laptop 4 by Engadget. The $1,699 model comes with a AMD Ryzen 7 4980U processor, Radeon graphics, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.

… Meet the Surface Laptop 4. It looks the same as the Surface Laptop 3, which was just a slightly bigger Surface Laptop 2, a computer that wasn’t all that different than the original Surface Laptop. Get the picture? Not much has changed with Microsoft’s most traditional PC line over the years. It’s always been an exercise in minimalism, with none of the fancy contorting screens from the rest of the Surface family.

But in 2021, that simplicity almost makes the Surface Laptop 4 seem like a “normcore” PC. That’s particularly true when you look at competitors like Dell, HP and ASUS, all of which have been cranking out wild new designs. Just look at the almost invisible screen bezel around the XPS 13, or the ZenBook Duo’s dual displays — they make the Surface Laptop 4 look absolutely archaic.
