Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a premium device for anyone needing a laptop for basic web surfing, email and Office software. Surface Laptop 7 is ideal for business or for students, a sleek laptop with a solid build, an excellent display (that could be better) and exceptional battery life. As a long-time Apple devotee, I think this rivals -- if not surpasses -- the MacBook Air. Pros: * The new Snapdragon X Elite chip is a game changer. The Surface now has the speed, power and battery life that's comparable to the MacBook Air. I've not had issues with Arm capability with software, except for a VPN. *This machine exudes premium. The new hactic trackpad is superb. It's as good as a Mac trackpad, even if it's a bit smaller. The keyboard is excellent, although I'd put it slightly behind Lenovo and Mac. The hinge and lid are solid. * The display is excellent. It has a 120 refresh rate, so text is crisp and there's no scrolling drag. The screen is brighter than most, albeit with a bit of glare. Microsoft has reduced the width of the bezels, giving the device a more modern look after years of chunky bezels. * The port selection is adequate, with two Type Cs, a Type A, a micro SD slot and the Microsoft Connect power port. The audio is quite good. The webcam and mic are very good, although the Mac's are sharper. * The Surface 7 is reasonably portable. It won't weigh down your backpack. But it feels heavier than the 15-inch Air. Cons: * No OLED display option is a bummer. I almost didn't buy it because of that. But the display is excellent for an ISP screen. And you don't risk OLED burn in. * It's not a laptop for gamers. * I wouldn't buy this for the Co-Pilot feature. It's not ready for prime time. * No privacy shutter for the webcam. * No fingerprint reader (but has face ID) Overall, this is an excellent laptop at a reasonable price for its premium quality. I'd recommend it for most users.

I couldn’t wait to test the all-new Surface Laptop Copilot+ PC with the latest Snapdragon X Elite processor because my first experience with an ARM processor was less than desirable to say the least. Let me get this out the way first; Microsoft and Qualcomm nailed the marriage between the Surface device and the Snapdragon X Elite processor. The laptop comes pre-loaded with Windows 11 Home which is good, but I immediately upgraded to the pro version since I utilize remote desktop on my other laptops and desktop computers. Design - The Surface Laptop 7th Edition is a thing of beauty. The overall design with the aluminum chassis looks and feels premium. You can open with one hand and the overall weight and heft of the device is right around 4 pounds. The screen size of 15 inches and the resolution of 2496X1664 makes it future proof ready. It also has dynamic refresh rate from 24Hz to 120Hz. Keyboard – I really like the layout of the keyboard. The keys are spaced evenly with good responsiveness. The back-lit keys are also a major benefit. You don’t get a number pad included however, so just be aware you would need to use a number-pad or the use the number keys towards the top of the keyboard. Ports – Microsoft opted for their proprietary charger which is the Surface power supply. I worry how well this will hold up long-term as it seems a little flimsy. To my surprise however, the Surface Laptop has two USB-C and 1 USB A port. The USB-C ports are also capable of charging the device and displaying dual monitors since the ports are USB4 ports. Battery – I’ve been testing the battery for a little over a week and a half by listening to music, typing emails, uploading files and working in the Microsoft Office suite. I can attest that the battery life on this laptop is one of the best I’ve seen on a Windows laptop so far. I’ve gotten a day in a half worth of battery life while performing multiple tasks without needing a charge. Screen – This version comes with a beautiful 15 inch capable of HDR touchscreen with thin bezels. The screen is glossy which poses no issues for me. The dynamic refresh rate with up 120Hz feels silky smooth when scrolling through websites. This can be disabled in the Windows settings as well. Windows Hello login is instantaneous even in low light conditions. It rivals my expensive webcam with the Windows Hello login feature. AI features – Ive messed around with the Copilot features in Microsoft Paint and messed around with the webcam features with Windows studio Effects. The webcam and mic are really good. The clarity of the webcam is very good and the mic sounds really good. Having the dedicated Copilot button is a plus. I’ve thrown all sorts of questions at Copilot and it’s a neat feature. Not too sure if this would be the main reason to purchase this laptop however. Some areas I think is the reason to purchase this laptop are: Ram starting at 16gb. Wi-Fi 7 supported CoPilot Superior battery life. Premium look and feel. Snapdragon Elite X processor. Touchscreen with 120Hz capability. I think that Microsoft stepped their game with this device. This device will probably set the industry standard with the battery, performance level, and overall specs on the 7th generation Surface laptop. This laptop does come with a steep price tag to match for a Windows machine, but with all the functionality, it may be well worth it for most. I really like the steps Microsoft is taking with its latest batch of premium laptops, and can’t wait to see what’s ahead when all the Copilot features are available in the near future.

OK, where was a laptop like this when I was in school writing reports? The CoPilot+ can take an article and summarize it in seconds. The Snapdragon processor is amazingly quick. Homework could have been done in minutes!! I asked it to create an itinerary for a trip to Washington DC later this summer with an 11 year old. It created a day by day list of things to see for the time we are in the city. We may not follow it exactly but it helps narrow down the many choices to those that a pre-teen should find interesting. Again, it created the list in seconds. I had spend hours scouring websites looking for things to do. I am sure there are other reviewers who are more tech savvy that can address the Snapdragon benefits. I just know it's fast. The battery life is incredibly long as well. I have only charged it once since I received it a little over a week ago. The only down sides for me- It has a unique charger. I am not a fan of those. I have several laptops (for work) and they use C chargers. I like those because I can also charge my phone with them. This one does not stay in well either. I use the laptop on my lap (weird, I know), and when I move around, it comes out. I am including a picture so you can see the charger type. I am a fan of laptops that fold back to become tablets. Maybe it's my age but I like being closer to the screen that folding it back affords me. I have absentmindedly tried to fold this one and it stops quickly and reminds me that it doesn't do that!! Overall, this is a quick, intuitive laptop. CoPilot+ is a great way to help with work, school and other activities.

This laptop is a strong competitor in this space! The build quality is amazing. The laptop feels sturdy, it's not excessively thin nor feel like I might damage it if I use a firm grip. The screen reaches a peak brightness of 600 nits so it's more than bright enough for indoor use. The touch screen is responsive and the OS is snappy. It helps that the RAM speeds reach up to 8,448 MHz. With 16GB I don't think I'll ever need more RAM on this laptop, especially with how optimized everything is becoming. I love that it is a touch screen because it's like a two-in-one. This would be great if you like a tablet's convenience but like a laptop's form factor. Performance-wise, this thing is great! This thing breezes through anything I throw at it with zero issues. Classwork, editing, creating, and anything else you need a computer for. I was even able to play Genshin Impact on the lowest settings, granted it wasn't the best experience but it is cool to know that I can play it if I wanted to. I was able to reach 3500 MB/s read speed and 2500 Mb/s write speed on tests that I ran for the SSD. The front-facing camera is about average quality, and great for video conferencing. The new Copilot AI feature on this laptop is really cool and fun! It is able to summarize large bodies of text with important details, it can create images and edit them with fun filters, work like a next-level search engine, and it's able to do so much more so I'm excited to spend time with this laptop figuring it all out. I'm not too sure about how well AI will be incorporated into everyday life, but it is fun to play with and it seems really useful so far. The only thing I'm not fond of is the keyboard. It's kind of mushy and not satisfying to type on. I love a clacky keyboard. That said, I LOVE the angled magnetic charger. It doesn't take up any of the USB ports and is so nice when it just snaps into place. 10/10 to the design team. Attached are photos of the tests I ran. The higher number in Cinebench was with the laptop plugged in. I also included a couple of the read/write speed tests for the SSD.

I have spent the last week setting up and evaluating this very interesting and unique machine, the ARM based Microsoft Surface CoPilot+. Combining a week’s intensive use with watching many YouTube videos and numerous podcasts and reviews, I can say that this machine seems to boil down to two main considerations. First, it's a new type of Windows machine that runs on an ARM processor, which is a departure from the usual Intel or AMD machines. Second, it has a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) chip for AI tasks. Let me address the AI aspect first. Short version: This AI stuff is pretty cool and having a CoPilot+ laptop with the built-in AI chip will let you do AI things that other computers cannot do. Long version: You can experience AI and play around with creative applications without this specific computer. Before getting this AI laptop, I got a subscription to Microsoft CoPilot PRO, which integrates well with my Office programs, and I've had a lot of fun using Microsoft 'Designer' to create cool graphics for social media and emails and using AI to look at spreadsheets and whip up PowerPoints. What’s new for AI here is this machine is the first to have a built-in Neural Processing Unit (NPU) chip, which is designed to take the load off the main processor when the laptop is running AI processes. At the moment, some of the graphic functions like Designer for graphics and the language translation use the NPU chip to boost processing speed, and there are some video conferencing filters that have been around a while - but more significant is the tremendous potential for apps and ‘small models’ that will use this onboard neural chip to great advantage. Having an on-board Neural Processing Unit (NPU) chip is a new thing and developers are cranking out AI apps and AI program updates on a daily basis. I am looking forward to more and more of these program updates and apps to become available to really help the AI functions of the CoPilot+ show its capabilities. This is about as “future proof” as you can get for the surge in AI capabilities at the moment. Having the built-in Neural Processing Unit (NPU) will help speed up some of the AI process, allow use of AI applications and plug-ins, and provide many AI functions even when the machine is offline. Now, to put the AI aside and evaluate the Surface CoPilot+ as a laptop – Microsoft Surface machines have a reputation for being well engineered and this machine looks good and feels very sturdy in the hand. The edges are nicely chamfered and easy on the hands. This machine is well-built, with a backlit keyboard, solid hinge, and a very nice 120MHz screen. The haptic touchpad is wonderful. My first haptic touchpad, and this is a whole new experience as I really never liked touchpads until this one... very smooth, responsive, adjustable, and clicks anywhere! I can also use an inexpensive capacitive stylus for basic drawing on the screen when using OneNote or playing with the AI graphics. This 15” machine has a micro-SD slot and first thing i did was pop in a 512GB card for game files, software repository, and cloud storage. Long battery life is one of the main benefits of the ARM-based machine—it lasts much longer than my other laptop. My experience is easily 2x to 3x the battery life of my i5 laptop (which just got a brand-new battery). Another very nice feature of this ARM based machine is 'instant on' when you open the lid to resume work – the laptop instantly jumps back to life every time and doesn't drain the battery when asleep. The more I use this laptop the more I appreciate how nice it is to not worry about shutting the lid when I step away for a moment or pack up to go to the next location and know that I can pop the lid and go right back to work without having to wait for the computer to wake up. With the facial recognition enabled (and it works very well) you don’t have to put in a PIN code or password – the laptop recognizes you and is instantly ready to pick up where you left off. Really nice! As for gaming, it has been well established that this isn't a hardcore gaming machine, but don’t sell the ARM laptop short - it can handle many fun and modern games. It runs all the normal programs for office work, school, photo and light video editing without any issues. It's fast, lasts an incredibly long time on battery, and doesn't keep me waiting. In conclusion, if you want a well-built, long-lasting laptop that's quiet, cool in your lap, and on the cutting edge of AI, the Surface CoPilot+ is a great choice. Greetings from Central Georgia and Happy 4th of July! banjo

Bought the Microsoft Surface 7 laptop about a month ago for my personal and business use. It is very reliable, starts up quickly,and has a very long battery life. I primarily use Microsoft 365 apps, which work fast and perfectly on this laptop. The touch screen has a high resolution, and the integrated camera makes Teams/Zoom meetings easy to manage. The laptop itself is thin and light, so is easly to carry and travel with. The keyboard and track pad are well designed so a mouse is not necessary. Have recommended to others who prefer Windows OS.

I needed an excellent laptop where the battery would last, was touchscreen, and had great performance for my work requirements. Found it in this new Laptop Surface 7th Edition. Wasn't too sure about the whole Snapdragon X Elite ARM processor, but I will be the first to say it's pretty awesome. This also has plenty of storage with the 512GB SSD and enough RAM with 16GB. I was initially thinking I should have gotten more of each, but now that I've been using it for a bit over a month, it's perfect. Great job Microsoft.

Copilot+ I was excited to see a new surface laptop offering with the Copilot+ feature. At work, we use a Copilot integration so I loved that this laptop offers that feature at the touch of a button. With AI constantly evolving and many companies still trying to figure out how they will leverage that technology, I'm very interested in using it as much as possible to build familiarity and try to keep up with AI. I love that Microsoft is making it so easy by putting it at your fingertips. For me, it's still new to embrace this technology so I appreciate the reminders and integration to help make this transition more seamless for me as I continue to adapt. The Copilot+ feature offers a lot of opportunities to leverage AI and integrate it into everything you do. I admit that I'm very excited, but also a little overwhelmed. It took me a bit to navigate to all the Copilot GPTs. I was expecting them to all be connected through the Copilot button, however, when I click it I only get what I consider to be the standard GPT-type chat for questions, research, etc. Once I did find my way to the page (URL), I bookmarked it so I didn't get lost in navigation again. It's not that hard, but it would be great if the icon pulled everything up more intuitively. There are a few GPTs available - Copilot, Designer, Vacation planner, Cooking assistant and Fitness trainer. I am enjoying the Designer GPT. I think it will be very interesting to continue creating images with this tool. Who knows what we will come up with! Vacation planner is just what I need, too. It already offered some great recommendations for an upcoming vacation this weekend. Can't wait to check out the suggestions. I like the notebook feature to start collaborating on some things I need to work on like my LinkedIn profile. It's been great so far with the prompts and responses, so I look forward to continuing to explore that functionality a bit more. Speed & Performance The laptop offers a Snapdragon X Elite (12-core) processor. You can absolutely feel the power and performance improvement compared to slightly older laptops. With all the CoPilot+ features, the performance is really important to bring those features to life. This processor delivers on keeping the laptop running quickly and efficiently. Battery Life I think we all could use a lot more battery life. I often use my laptops on the go for work, school, and when I'm traveling. This laptop offers a solid battery life. I haven't tested the full potential of 22 hours, but based on my experiences so far it wouldn't surprise me if this battery could hold out that long. Graphics Beautiful! The color is amazing. Just deep hues with super clear and crisp resolution. It just makes me want to create something with the Advanced AI image generation. It's amazing how easily you can create such beautiful images with a little help from CoPilot+. Setup The setup was quick and easy. I was able to complete it relatively quickly. I appreciated that the device arrived with some charge so I was able to get it setup without plugging it in. I did honor the request to keep it plugged in during the final download, etc. but based on the battery life that was available that probably wouldn't have actually been needed. Mousepad I appreciate the size of the mousepad on this laptop. It's a little bigger than the mousepad on my work laptop which makes it a little easier to quickly get things done. I also want to call out that it's a different color than the laptop. Many laptops I have used over the years have a mousepad that is the exact same color as the laptop. Sometimes if you are moving quickly you may not distinguish mousepad from laptop and have to actually look at it to ensure you are hitting the actual mousepad. Not an issue here. I like the darker gray of the mousepad. The keys are the same color. Power Cord Cats can chew through this cord. I had to replace similar power cord on my Surface Pro twice because my cats love it. I will be planning to get a cord protector, but those are typically super cumbersome for a laptop that is typically used on the go. Screen Size I'm a big fan of the 15" screen size. I use a Surface Pro with a 13" screen and I will tell you those extra 2 inches make a huge difference on the screen size. I would love to go bigger, but this size really makes the laptop work well for home and on the go so it works really well for me. Overall, I love this laptop. It positions me to embrace AI in a way that I can continue to learn and grow my understanding and evolve as the use of AI grows over the next few years. The laptop itself is fantastic and feature-packed so the Copilot addition is just the icing on the cake. I highly recommend this laptop.

I picked this up last Friday and I love it. I have used Macbooks the past18 years and I'm not looking back. Screen is great, I love the facial recognition login, zero bloatware, boots up very fast, and amazing battery. I have used this a couple hours a day the past week and am currently on 38% after charging to full the day I got it. I have used the Copilot+ features a few times and they are fun. No issues and I'm beyond happy with this purchase.

So far, this is an amazing laptop. I was going to stay with a Lenovo (Yoga) that I have loved and treated me very well for about 8 years, but saw this and started reading reviews and went for it. Have not gotten into all the bells and whistles yet, but so far it's speedy, the screen/image quality and sound are perfect, etc.

This surface LT has met my expectations to this point. The touch screen is very responsive and the processor is very fast. This is my second Surface LT to own and I have not been disappointed.

So far, it's been a decent computer. I like very much that it is light and doesn't heat up, which is likely a good sign of its efficiency. The battery life appears to be very good although I don't have another laptop to compare it to. A charge will last 5-6 days of using the computer 1hr per day. I did have one dissappointment - it will not run NORD VPN. I'm already subscribed to NORD VPN on my old computer and I wanted to continue with this new laptop. The install program displays a message that it is not an x86 CPU. Perhaps there will be future support for Snapdragon CPUs but not as of today. Surfshark is supposed to work on this platform but I haven't tried it yet. I'm holding out a bit longer to see if NORD's next release will add Snapdragon support.

Great battery life, display, and speed. Perfect for my graduate school work coming up.

Snapdragon and Microsoft = Premium Windows Experience. This device as Premium Build Quality, with Fantastic Keyboard, Good Speakers, and Stunningly Good Battery Life, not seen in prior Intel based devices. Super Snappy for everyday use case scenarios.

So far I have really loved this laptop! I use it for online college classes and personal spreadsheets etc. The picture is fantastic, sound is good for a laptop, and boots up super fast. The CoPilot has become my new best friend with all of the help it provides! LOL

Overall it is a great computer! Long lasting battery. If you are looking for a computer that is nice looking, great display, loud speakers, great camera and somewhat really good speed this is it! I use it only for work and it is capable of running different task at the same time, but I guess I was expecting a little bit more speed for processing.

Overall very good. Sceen quality is excellent. Keyboard layout requires getting used to. Holds a battery charge very well,

I'm really enjoying this Copilot-powered Surface laptop. It's much faster than the Microsoft laptop I bought three and a half years ago. While I haven't used the AI features of Copilot extensively, I appreciate the speed, battery life, and overall superior performance of this laptop. In my opinion, it was a very good purchase for my current needs.

I’ve absolutely enjoyed my computer. I like the quality of the images that appear on the screen, I like that it’s lightweight and thin.
