Windows 10 S leaves a lot to be desired
Disappointing screen
Windows 10 S is quite limiting
Fabric palm rest seems a design flourish too far
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
And the por
Windows 10 S is limited
No USB-C
Lack of other ports
Not upgradable
Screen isn't quite as good as the Surface Pro
Disappointing port allocation
Expensive
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
Keyboard is a bit wobbly
Lack of ports
Windows S won't install Creative Cloud
No Pen included
Expensive for higher-end models
No USBC
No SD card reader
No fingerprint scanner
Windows 10 S (but free upgrade before 2018)
Limited configuration options
Windows 10 S is not nearly enough for most people. A standard laptop isn't great for pen and touch. Cortanaled setup is obnoxious
Abstract: Microsoft is offering more hardware than ever before and now has a touchscreen clamshell laptop to tempt you with. The Surface Laptop is a more affordable and non-detachable version of the Surface Book so will appeal to more people. Who should buy the Su...

Fantastic keyboard, Excellent design, Speedy
Screen isn't quite as good as the Surface Pro, Disappointing port allocation, Expensive
As a first stab at a proper lightweight notebook, the Surface Studio is a capable and accomplished offering. It's held back slightly by the omission of USB-C connectivity and the decision to ship it with Windows 10 S, but it's otherwise an absolutely s...

Great looking, Excellent screen, Good performance, Lightweight
Windows S won't install Creative Cloud, No Pen included, Expensive for higher-end models, Not upgradable
A great looking, light, well-built laptop with a good 13.5-inch touchscreen and decent specs. However, the Surface Book and Surface Pro have more versatility as digital sketchpads...
Excellent keyboard and trackpad, stunning screen, fast performance
Not enough ports, doesn't ship with a dock, Windows 10 S before the free upgrade, Rating:

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...

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...
