The 13-inch Surface Laptop suits buyers who want a familiar keyboard-first Windows PC with a tall touchscreen, low carry weight and strong manufacturer-rated endurance. It is easier to use on a lap than the detachable Surface Pro 12-inch, but its 60Hz screen and USB 3.2 ports are a step below larger premium Surface configurations. Check Windows on Arm support for essential plug-ins, drivers and games before purchase.
