Surface Laptop review: Microsoft takes on the Air

[jeffreylee]

The fabric is to prevent the use of the ugly rubber protection around the glass display Apple uses. It prevent the screen from cracking when closed with force of when someone put pressure on it. It serves a function purpose, quite genius actually.

Him: laptop for every body

The Usb-port on the power adapter is the best feature ever

"You can open it up and unlock it with your face", I never opened my laptop with my face before so that's certainly new!

1:08 - wow, I love the flow of your living room.

The Verge has been killing it lately with the reviews. Great job guys...

[srverlord]

You had me at "it's more Lamborghini than Porsche"...

The lack of USB-C is a huge mistake and probably the only reason I'll stay away from this. If I spend over 1k on a laptop, I expect it to last at least 3 years. already most phones use USB-C, and in the next 2 years there will be much more. They really messed up. I disagree with Apple going full USB-C, but honestly this is just as bad.

Just purchased on for 375 I5 Core and love it.

I just purchased this computer today. My Mac book air 2014 256GB crashed twice. They accused me of water damage both times when I did not have a spill. Its likely condensation which is not my fault. Cost of the second repair is over 1000. The cost of extended coverage for my surface is so much less and guess what, it covers water damage. I took coverage for three years. I spent almost 700 dollars just after 2 years repairing my MacBook Pro, and don't want to spend another 1000 plus for second repair.I hope I will never look back. I am so happy also not to deal with Apple spinning wheel of death anymore.

If alcantara can be on a steering wheel and not wear out why would it on a laptop?

[JACKRAIDEN]

Top quality review. I wish other verge reviewers were like this too.

I got a refurbished option of the cobalt blue one off Amazon about a year and a half ago and it’s still going strong! Love it

[JimmyGuilbault]

Nice review Dieter! I think this will be my choice as a laptop for the next few years.

[nsanchez]

Went to buy the new Mac yesterday but I end up getting this one, I don’t regret it.

[elliteequine]

You forgot that compared to the macbook, THE FACE ID AND TOUCHSCREEN. Apple will never have a touchscreen computer. Maybe one with FACE ID but never wth touch,

[dgmojojojo]

dear Dieter Bohn, put your lower right painting 3cm lower, so the gap between the two match the left painting. my OCD is slightly tingling.

[GregSmith]

Hmmm, let me convert that USD to CAD....








Yup, I'm out.

Microsoft should listen to it's customers feedbacks and concern. On the next iteration of this, they should still keep the fabric, but make it an option with a new all Aluminum body. More people would be comfortable on just an all aluminum body
