Choose the 13.8-inch Surface Laptop if you want the more portable X2 Elite Surface: its 3:2 touchscreen, full laptop keyboard and light aluminum body suit office work, study, coding and frequent travel. The 15-inch model is better for a larger workspace and microSD, while buyers who depend on older Windows plug-ins, specialist drivers or gaming libraries should confirm Arm compatibility before purchase.
