Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 review

 

As bold as ice

Distinctive yet understated looks ; Day-long battery life ; Comfy keyboard

Screen bezels still chunky ; Limited ports ; Webcam only average

New silicon gives Microsoft's ultraportable even better battery life and a healthy performance boost. It's still not perfect, but can continue to trade blows with the MacBook Air.

Microsoft has made some big gains to performance and battery life, making the Surface Laptop 4 the best in the line so far.

AMD chips widely available in configurations ; Thinnest 15-inch laptop ; Superb build quality ; Great typing experience ; Long-lasting battery life

Older AMD chips hold back performance ; Thick bezels, poor webcam

Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 15-inch review: redemption

 

Microsoft's clamshell finally hits the mark.

Big performance gains ; Excellent battery life ; 3:2 display ; Super light

Not many ports ; Keyboard’s a bit flat ; No Thunderbolt support (even on Intel models)

Microsoft’s 15-inch Surface Laptop 4 is essentially a Surface Laptop 3 with new processors. But the new AMD Ryzen 4000 chips bring much-needed improvements in performance and battery life.

Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 (15-Inch) Review

 

Lightweight and stylish ; Sunny, razor-sharp screen with 3:2 aspect ratio ; Comfortable touchpad ; Excellent performance from AMD Ryzen 7 ; Intel Core i7 models available, too

Few configuration options ; Can't get a version with a discrete GPU ; Only two USB ports

A new AMD Ryzen 7 processor brings significant performance improvements to the 15-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 4, making it an excellent choice for general-purpose computing on a big screen.

Surface Connector is used in place of Thunderbolt ; A bit pricey

We expected the transition to AMD’s excellent Ryzen 4000 Mobile series would translate into dramatically increased performance, and we weren’t disappointed. Microsoft also promised significant battery-life improvements and generally delivered there, as...

The Surface Laptop 4 may look familiar but the AMD chips housed within are now ready for primetime

Sleek, sturdy chassis ; Speedy performance ; Long battery life ; Great 15-inch display ; Comfortable keyboard and touchpad ; Awesome speakers
