The editors didn't like
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
People don't ask this question “What laptop should I buy?” that often anymore and for years, I have recommended MacBook Air, even to those who have been on Windows. But the past few years have changed the nature of computing so much that Apple's laptop is...

Display won't tilt back all the way, Insufficient IO ports, High asking price
A MacBook-level Windows laptop with commendable design, portability, attention to detail, and performance. Get it if you find the asking price acceptable and aren't fazed by a lack of IO ports...
Lightweight and portable, Excellent design, Long-lasting battery, Well-balanced audio output,
Older generation processor, Dire lack of ports, Heats during intensive tasks
The Surface Laptop is a stunner, but beneath that beautiful chassis, is an older generation processor, a paltry amount of internal storage and an integrated graphics, which somewhat reduce the appeal of the device when you factor in the price of the Surfa...
If you don’t mind the premium price tag, the Surface Laptop offers enough for you to really enjoy working or just consuming content on this device. This is what really expect from a laptop in 2018, at least in terms of experience. Clearly, this is one of...
Bright, sharp screen, Very light and thin, Good performance for everyday tasks
Only one USB 3.0 port, Gets a bit warm with heavy use, Impossible to upgrade or repair, Expensive,
Microsoft has designed a very good-looking laptop. It delivers solid performance for everyday tasks, as well as great battery life, while still being slim and light. It feels extremely premium and will definitely grab eyeballs. However, the focus seems to...

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 Sur...
Abstract: In more ways than one, the Surface Laptop is the first erm… traditional laptop that Microsoft has built. And by that, we mean a screen attached firmly to a keyboard base, with neither the kickstand and detachable keyboard cover that you see on the Surface...
Abstract: It's a laptop, duh. No really, it is.The long version answer is this: It is Microsoft's take on a premium and ultra-stylish ultraportable. It is relatively portable, weighing around 1.25kg and measuring about 14.47mm thick. It has a keyboard covered with...
