The editors didn't like
The included Windows 10 S operating system can only install preapproved apps by default (but it's upgradable). The long-term life of the fabric covering remains a question. The cooler colors are only available in more expensive configurations
Abstract: The Good Housekeeping Institute evaluated 25 laptops to find the best for everyone from the well-traveled to the high schooler. Laptops were scored based on a number of performance benchmarks, alongside screen and audio quality, general ease of use, and t...
Excellent display and battery life, Striking design, Solid aluminum shell, Quiet even under load
Cloth-covered keyboard deck poses questions about durability, Subpar, soldered-on storage, Base model ships with just 4GB of RAM, Noticeable keyboard flex

Captivating design, Bright and colorful display, Comfortable keyboard, Very good battery life, Nearly instant face recognition login
SSD on the slow side, Fan can get loud, Colors cost extra, Windows 10 S has several limitations
The Surface Laptop is one of sexiest laptops ever, and it backs up those great looks with solid performance, long battery life and a top-notch typing experience...
