There are both Intel and AMD variants for the processor, but I can only speak to the Intel Core i5 my review unit had.
There’s also a 15-inch version of the Surface Laptop 4, in case you want to work with a larger screen. I do wish Microsoft found a way to cut down the bezels by stretching out the display to a full 14-inches, but it does blend nicely in darker themes or content. Being a touchscreen, I had that convenience to go along with it, and I appreciated its clarity and vibrance. My review unit had a 13.5-inch PixelSense display (2256 x1504) with the excellent 3:2 aspect ratio. The anodized aluminum finish is slick, as are the trackpad, keyboard and overall finish. Not that it isn’t comfortable, it’s just too easy to get dirty, and too difficult to clean properly.Īpart from that, there’s a lot to like. If I was on the fence about one thing, though, it would be the felt around the touchpad. Microsoft wisely focused on not overdoing anything, leaning on tasteful treatments that actually make sense. There are times when going with simplistic design principles works against a laptop, but this isn’t one of those cases.
Battery life rated at up to 12 hours for productivity and streaming video.1.5GHz Intel Core i5 64-bit quad-core processor.97% sRGB and 65% DCI P3 color gamut, 1424:1 contrast ratio, 349 nits brightness.Microsoft’s focus on smart design and functional utility come together to make it compelling, and here’s why. What I can tell you is whether this is a Windows machine worthy of your time and money.
I can’t tell you whether the 4th-gen is that much better. I never got a chance to use the Surface Laptop 3, and have no basis for comparison that way. Except the Surface line continues to make things interesting. Naturally, there are a lot of Windows laptops available, so it’s not like you don’t have options. Microsoft didn’t overhaul much with the Surface Laptop 4, but if you’re looking for a Windows laptop that does particular things right, this is a contender.
