It’s more comfortable for me to rest my wrists on the laptop itself, and if the touchpad is too large they rest right on it, causing many accidental presses.īut all the changes to this generation of Surface Laptops are on the inside, starting with a new processor: an AMD Ryzen 7 4980U. The touchpad is perfectly positioned and the perfect size, too, out of the way of my wrists when I type.
We weren’t thrilled with the feel of the keys the last time we reviewed a Surface Laptop for that reason, but they feel fine to me this time around…and I’m used to typing with mechanical Cherry Reds all day long. Sure, it’s a no-frills membrane keyboard, but it doesn’t feel too mushy. The size of the keys, the placement, even the weight of the keys beneath my fingers as I press them down feels like dancing. Typing on the newest Surface Laptop feels like I developed instant muscle memory. I love a laptop with perfectly-spaced keys. Price is still slightly high for the specs wish there was an AMD 5000-series mobile processor version instead Starts at $1,599, $2,199 as reviewed) LIKEĭesign, dimensions, keyboard, performance, thermals NO LIKE Microsoft's latest Surface Laptop configured with an AMD processor.
Even the weight and dimensions are the same at 1 kg and 0.58 inches thick, and I’m happy to report the keyboard hasn’t changed either. The new version has the same aluminium chassis with a black finish that has a tendency to show fingerprints, and it also has the same number and type of ports - one USB-A, one USB-C, one 3.5mm headphone jack, and one Surface Connect port that you use as your main charging port, although you can charge via USB-C as well if you don’t need to charge your laptop in a hurry. (If it’s not broken, don’t fix it, right?) The Surface Laptop 4 is a near-perfect laptop, and a serious contender when it comes to choosing your next machine.Ĭompared to the 15-inch Surface Laptop 3 we reviewed in 2019, not much has changed on the outside.
But the company has outdone itself with the smart improvements it’s made to the Surface Laptop 4, which has a more compelling price and better battery life, all while keeping key features and design elements the same. The Surface Laptop 3 was a special machine due to Microsoft’s decision to put an AMD processor in it for the first time.
