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

Gorgeous design, Well built, Great screen, Very good performance
Windows 10 S is limited, No USB-C, Lack of other ports, Not upgradable
Microsoft is gaining a reputation for making solid, attractive and overall desirable premium products to showcase its Windows software, and the Surface Laptop continues in this vein. The thin and light design makes it easy to carry around, while the caref...

really great keyboard, good trackpad, alcantara, standout design, USBA port, great screen, great battery life, Windows Hello
no USBC, no SD card reader, no fingerprint scanner, Windows 10 S (but free upgrade before 2018), limited configuration options
The Surface Laptop is great. In fact, it's probably the best all round notebook PC you'll find. But it's not perfect.It has a too few ports, which are remedied by a £190 dock, but lacking even just one USB-C port in 2017 seriously hurts the Surface Laptop...

The £1,000-2,000 laptop market is very crowded, and it takes something really interesting to stand out. Every manufacturer, including Dell and HP, is making a really good, well-designed 13in laptop in this price range that will take you through three or f...

Fab design, Windows 10 S works well, Great battery life
Keyboard is a bit wobbly, Lack of ports
Fair play to Microsoft, the Surface Laptop might sound like a mess on paper but in the cold light of day it's a unique joy to behold. From its classy carpeted aesthetic to its new Windows 10 S operating system, there's a lot that's different about this S...

Gorgeous design and great built quality that will turn heads, silent operation and plenty of power from Intel Core i5/i7 Kaby Lake processors, Windows 10 Pro is available as a free upgrade (in 2017), excellent screen quality, strong battery life, comforta
Windows 10 S makes little logical sense to us and convolutes the Windows marketplace once more (when RT was killed it should have stayed that way), really expensive if viewed as a highend Chromebook competitor
The Microsoft Surface Book is a really interesting laptop. It's gorgeous to look at, incredibly well built… and comes with a hampered version of Windows and all costs a fairly considerable sum of money. In that regard it's going to be mis-matched for the...
The fact that the Surface Laptop ships with a limited – sorry, “streamlined” – operating system and costs more than some previous Surface systems that come with full fat Windows 10 cannot go unnoticed – regardless of the free upgrade through this year. Un...
