Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 review: it's never been better | Digital Trends

The 7th Edition of the Surface Laptop achieves a level of greatness never before seen in the line.

Fast, efficient performance ; Display is bright, fast, and beautiful ; Excellent haptic feedback trackpad ; Port selection is solid ; Great starting price

Battery life diminishes under heavier loads

“The Surface Pro 7th Edition is the best Surface device I've ever used.”

Surface Laptop 7 review: A new era for Windows laptops

The incredible battery life and efficient performance in Microsoft's Surface Laptop 7, powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite chip, come at a cost.

Attractive, slim, and light ; Class-leading battery life ; Excellent wireless connectivity via Wi-Fi 7 ; Good performance in real-world situations

Vague keyboard falls short of competitors ; IPS touchscreen’s image quality can’t compare to OLED ; Gaming performance doesn’t hold up

The Microsoft Surface Laptop’s strong processor performance and top-tier battery life prove that Windows’ transition to Arm has staying power, but even the most casual gamers should think twice.

One week with the Surface Laptop 7th gen: A lot to love, but Copilot Plus PCs aren't quite perfect

A week with the Microsoft Surface Laptop is enough time to fall in and out of love with Copilot Plus PCs. Here's how the experience fairs.

Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 review: A true MacBook Air rival

Qualcomm's powerful new Snapdragon chips bring the speed and endurance

Sleek and light ; Fast Qualcomm performance ; Great battery life ; Wi-Fi 7 support

AI features feel gimmicky ; Poor gaming performance ; Minimal ports

While not a perfect laptop, Microsoft has harnessed the power of Qualcomm’s latest chips to create a true MacBook Air competitor that is speedy and pleasant to use.

Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 review: makes me believe in the Surface series again

The Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 is well-rounded and high performing

Incredible performance ; Excellent battery life ; Great display and keyboard ; Priced well

Port selection is terrible ; No OLED display options ; Touchpad has some sensitivity issues

If you told me a year ago that the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 would be a top contender for best laptop of 2024, I would have laughed in your face. But here we are and it's truly an incredible portable machine, all thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon chip...

Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 Review: A MacBook Air Rival Arrives

Powered by Qualcomm's Arm-based Snapdragon X processor, the Windows-based laptop is exceptionally well made and long-running.

No OLED option ; Upgrades get costly and don't include dedicated GPU ; Your Arm-on-Windows compatibility mileage may vary
