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

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...

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...

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...
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...
It's rare to have a clear winner in a versus battle, but in this case the Surface Laptop gets our vote over the MacBook. Partly it's because Apple's laptop uses the older and ultra-low-power CPU, but it's also because even then entry-level Surface Book ha...
While the two Microsoft devices share a family name, they are catering for different markets. The Surface Book is for power users who want high-end specs, plenty of speed, and the option to use a tablet when needs be. It's a great device, but with a steep...

Abstract: Microsoft's new Surface Laptop says nothing about the future of technology. The team in Redmond didn't concern itself with the way things will be in 2025-which ports users will want, what kind of device they'll use, how they'll feel about bezels. Instead...
