When I think about what I really want Microsoft to change, only a few things come to mind. Even after several months, there’s just a slight hint of wear. In any case, it gets way less dirty than you might expect. The Ice Blue Alcantara on my model feels luxurious when typing in a way no other laptop feels (the soft-touch finish on the Dell XPS 13 is nice, but not quite there). I don’t care if it can get a little dirtier than metal with your grubby hands. I’m equally biased by the Alcantara material. I came into this review preparing a big eye roll at the few changes, but every time I switch to the Surface Laptop from other devices I’m testing, I can’t help but get a little giddy.ĭespite an ‘old’ design by tech standards, the Surface Laptop 4 is still one of the prettiest laptops around, although I’m admittedly biased toward blue gadgets. As the saying goes if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Sometimes newness for the sake of newness is overrated. I don’t think Microsoft can get away with another year of this design, but starting at $999, the Surface Laptop 4 is still one of the prettiest, most pleasant to use laptops money can buy. A few quibbles aside, it’s one of the easiest to recommend laptops on the market. That’s it.Īnd yet I still consider this laptop to be near the top of its class. The most obvious exterior change on my 13-inch review unit - other than being a different shade of blue - is that it comes with a USB-C port instead of a Mini DisplayPort.
Testing it gave me a serious case of déjà vu its design has barely changed since I first went hands-on with the original in 2017. The Surface Laptop 4 isn’t the most exciting laptop I’ve ever reviewed.
