Pros
Pro Excellent, smooth performance
Great hardware combined with the streamlined Windows 10 S and Microsoft-vetted apps from the Windows Store provide excellent performance even on lowest available specs (starting at $999). With i5/i7 Intel® Core™ processor and up to 16 GB of RAM, this computer is perfectly suited for dealing with resource-hungry software and multitasking.
Pro Unique, stylish design
The Surface Laptop has a distinct look thanks to the Alcantra microfibre material that covers the keyboard. It has a soft, pleasant texture and it's durable enough to stay intact for years to come. The computer comes in 4 uncommon colors that easily stand out among the usual black or silver devices.
Cons
Con Limited OS functionality
Out of the box the Surface Laptop is running Windows 10 S, which is a lighweight version of the OS that only allows to run apps that have been downloaded from the official Windows store. To upgrade to the more lenient and functional Windows 10 Pro is going to cost extra $50.
