I wouldn't let me headline dissuade your decision on this computer, because if anyone is a big advocate for Surface computers, it's me. I've travel a lot for work, and have owned close to 10 surface laptops, books, pros over the last 5 years, and this is only the second one I've had an issue with. The other issue was with my Surface Book constantly disconnecting from my Surface Dock (again, a charging port issue).As somebody who has owned multiple types of ever Surface available (except that giant computer one), I can honestly say the laptops are by far my favorite. I think they are the sleekest, with amazing battery life, and great power. They do get hot if you use them in your lap though, so be weary of that. All my Surface products get really hot, especially my ... MoreI wouldn't let me headline dissuade your decision on this computer, because if anyone is a big advocate for Surface computers, it's me.

I write this review as an AVID microsoft fan, and old DOS guy. I picked up this laptop for audio and video editing, amongst other routing productivity tasks. This computer has beautiful graphics, I like a lot of Windows 11's new features. The speakers are great, the battery life has been surprising to me. I changed the setting to battery saver after 50% depleted, I have been very pleased with its battery life. To be honest, the most important thing to me with any tech purchase is that there are no bugs, I hate bugs. I had an old iPhone 11 that had plagued me for years with issues, and I will never look at tech the same way. Bugs that shouldn't be there, and that you grow accustomed to, I hate those bugs. This computer has a few. Bluetooth range sucks, I walk into my ... MoreI write this review as an AVID microsoft fan, and old DOS guy.

This computer has a few. Bluetooth range sucks, I walk into my adjacent living room, it starts disconnecting (I use airpods pro). I have an hp envy work laptop that lets me go all the way out to my driveway or backyard shed before fluttering. The aesthetics/design of the laptop is great, but when I pick the laptop up by a corner of the base/keyboard, with one hand, it eerily creeks and sounds like the joists in a 100-year-old house. I understand the lightweight, yet extremely durable casing materials are to blame, and serve their purpose respectively, but this is something I can't quite get over. Also video playback has at least a 5 second lag when paused for over 15-20 seconds. I think this may only be with Bluetooth, but is extremely frustrating when trying to flip between an instructional video and the application (as I am perfecting my Adobe Premiere skills). I think I fell into the trap of a computer that had all the aesthetics going on, but really lacks functionality and testing. Also, no thunderbolt ports even with the intel CPU is disappointing. I will say, that unless Microsoft concentrate on the testing and functionality a little bit more, I will probably be turning to other manufactures for future laptops.

I’ve been using MacBooks for 15 years and got tired of where macOS is going and all the issues I was having. I have a 2017 MacBook Pro with the infamous butterfly keyboard problem. So after 15 years I decided to give a PC a chance and I am surprisingly happy with this Microsoft Surface 4 Laptop. I got it on sale after the Surface 5 was announced.I use windows at work (WFH) so it is more compatible in that aspect. I love the thin and sleek design. It feels very premium and the matte black looks amazing even though I plan to put a fishskyn skin on the top and bottom lol I love the pure windows experience without all the bloatware you get from other manufacturers. So far it has been able to handle what I throw at it. After 15 years of macOS I forgot how free it was ...

I refuse to get locked in apples ecosystem especially after being burned with the butterfly keyboard issue and other issues I’ve had with MacBooks recently.

A great little laptop but a few things really holding it back.It is a very well built laptop with a beautiful screen but it has huge bezels and has the same glossy super reflective screen for several years. Would like to see much smaller bezels and an anti-reflective coating. An Oled display option would also be nice.The processor is good and bad. It was great a couple years ago but with 12th gen intel out and 6th gen Ryzen it is showing it's age. Speed feels fine but in a couple of years I am worried. Microsoft needs to deliver better internals for this price. Too much competition that is better.The build quality and design are top notch. The design aesthetic that Microsoft uses is one of the cleanest and best looking designs out there but as I said before it ...

Microsoft needs to deliver better internals for this price. Too much competition that is better.The build quality and design are top notch. The design aesthetic that Microsoft uses is one of the cleanest and best looking designs out there but as I said before it needs modernization of a few areas.The speakers are excellent and I love them.The keyboard is excellent. Trackpad is one of the best.The battery life is decent but this is another area improvement needs to be made.Ports are just pitiful. At least you get a usb a but I would like to see hdmi or at least sd card support.SSD sizes are really skimpy for the cost. Double the size across the line is needed.A little more heavy duty mag charging port like a braided cable would be really nice but I like the overall design.The pure Windows experience is one of the main draws to these devices and the optimization Microsoft puts into the OS for these machines. Even on older hardware with meager specs you never feel the device is slow.Overall the all aluminum models are a thing of art and the screen is beautiful and the speakers are good. The 3/2 screen format is also excellent. They just need to keep up with up to date internals and refine the design and add a port or too and extend battery life and I would fully recommend this device.As it is now there are too many nagging issues to fully say 5 stars. It is certainly above average and a great device but for me I like to be current on specs if I am going to shell out premium price.There hopefully will be a redesign and after the release a while when they go on sale I might just pick a model like this again.
I was excited to purchase my Surface Laptop 4 in 2021. One of the key features was the keyboard. Within a year the N has rubbed off. I didn't think it would be something covered over warranty and when I got around to trying to find a solution it was out of warranty and the expense to fix was astronomical.Another issue is the charging cable. There is issues with the connection, so at random times, it won't connect and charge. Microsoft forces you to use their special technology that does not work as well as the old USB-C charging. Again when trying to fix I was told had to buy $700 refurbished.The final challenge is the difficulty in even getting attention and service from microsoft. My other laptops have been Asus and Lenova. They are longer lasting, better ... MoreI was excited to purchase my Surface Laptop 4 in 2021. One of the key features was the keyboard. Within a year the N has rubbed off.

They are longer lasting, better quality and the customer service is easily reachable and they work to find a solution. In the third year of my Asus, with no warranty there was an issue with the hinges. They fixed for free. A very different experience than I have had with microsoft.Overall I have not found the hardware to be durable or long lasting and the customer service from microsoft, if you can even reach them, is subpar.
I was greatly disappointed in the Surface Laptop 4. As a college student, whenever I buy a laptop I always test out the ergonomics before the specs. I've watched and read many reviews claiming that this laptop boasts a really good keyboard and a bright display. I was wrong. And this is why I returned it.As someone whose owned two HP laptops and one Surface Pro in the past, HP keyboards will always reign supreme because of their good key travel and comfortable typing experience. My old Surface Pro had good key travel because of the detachable alcantara keyboard. I thought the same would work for the Aluminum chassis on the Surface 4. Unfortunately, this device's keyboard is poorly built. If you scrub your fingers on the keys before pressing them, you can hear how ... MoreI was greatly disappointed in the Surface Laptop 4.

My old Surface Pro had good key travel because of the detachable alcantara keyboard. I thought the same would work for the Aluminum chassis on the Surface 4. Unfortunately, this device's keyboard is poorly built. If you scrub your fingers on the keys before pressing them, you can hear how clickety and loose they are. Furthermore, typing on this thing was a chore. As someone whose used to typing on rectangular HP Envy 13.3 inches and a Lenovo 13 inches, this 13.5 inch square device has its keys spaced out too much, so my usual finger placements were thrown off and I kept hitting the wrong keys. Lastly, the keys themselves are shallow and requires a bit more finger force to type on compared to HP and Lenovo ThinkPad/Yoga laptops. So in addition to the weird key spacing, my fingers were also straining at each key punch. Which is why I would avoid the Surface Laptop lineups for a clamshell typing experience, and maybe consider the Surface Pro 7 instead.As for the display, it is not good. I currently own the HP Envy x360 (a mid-range laptop) and its display brightness easily reaches 400 nits at max. The surface laptop 4 only reaches 349 nits. At max brightness, I compared this device to my x360 and there was a substantial difference in brightness levels. Moreover, the colors in the Surface Laptop 4 looked a bit more washed out in my opinion.In terms of weight and portability. This device is not recommended for on-the-go. The aluminum chassis and the 13.5 inch square build made this device feel like this heavy square metal slab that could crack at the first drop, or dent at the next bump. It wasn't something you can easily take out of the bag and rapidly set on the table during lectures. Even for the 13.5 inch variant, it's still a hefty metal square slab that's better off left at home. If you still want a Microsoft device but don't mind the 2 in 1 touchscreen experience, just get a Surface Pro 7. If you just want that clamshell laptop design but with good typing experience, Go for an HP Envy or a Lenovo ThinkPad.
When looking for thin & lite laptop that had high end productivity features, I researched many different models with me settling on the M$ Surface Laptop 4 due to it being more than capable on fulfilling my needs for a portable workstation. This AMD model of the Surface Laptop 4 13.5 is a good alternative to the Intel Ultrabook’s with some strong key advantages: More affordable, better battery life on a Windows device (Yes, I know the MacBook Air is still the king on battery life), and the multi-core CPU performance is superior to the most expensive Intel option, even on the entry-level model.So why this one over the others? I work at home doing multiple video calls (Zoom, Teams & Skype) while connected to a Voyager 4310 Bluetooth headset. I also usually have two ...

I work at home doing multiple video calls (Zoom, Teams & Skype) while connected to a Voyager 4310 Bluetooth headset. I also usually have two browsers open with over 20 in each & connected to a corporate VPN. With that also have multiple spreadsheets, documents & do light video/presentation work. Not only does this handle all of that at the same time the experience is trouble free thanks the seamless integration of Windows 11 & the hardware. Everything is just better than other laptops when it comes to Windows. No need to use a 3rd party app for software upgrades as just updating which works automatically BTW if put device in hibernation (just close the lid) instead of shutting down the power. Windows Hello logs you instantly & I have not encountered any bugs with everything just working very well. This is essentially a Windows Mac Book.

I've only been using it for about a week now, so keep in mind this does not cover long-term usage, but the laptop seems excellent so far. I have been doing nothing intensive, but occasionally been lax with my tab management and this has handled it by a champ.

Considerate of them if that space is needed, kind of annoying if they could otherwise cut it down and simply give us more space.The screen looks nice so far, occasionally I think the auto-brightness is not bright enough but that's manually fixable very easily. Picture quality is nice - I had expected the non-standard aspect ratio to be odd but instead it is quite pleasant. (Or rather, no different from the usual.)Overall build quality feels very premium - smooth, feels nice and solid. The alcantara isn't as sweat-absorbing as I thought it was which is probably good for longevity. (I personally think it adds coziness to the device.)The keyboard is very nice to type on. Whatever switches they're using they should continue doing so - with the keyboard flex it makes it very pleasant if you're a touch typer and speeding along. Minor things like that make it easy to love.Trackpad is smooth, responsive, and has some features. (Three fingers up, four fingers down, etc.) I have not tested the camera yet but it recognizes my face to start up on power-on and it's very quick to do so.Overall I'm rather pleased with my purchase.. It's got a high build quality, quick software (though they've loaded on solitaire for you), and adequate specs for most users.
This was a great laptop when I had it, it had all the specs I wanted for work, nice color, build, battery life, and portability. The only one on the market with a 3:2 screen so it was perfect for productivity. Unfortunately, I have to report that the screen just cracked in 1 year 1 month after owning it, conveniently out of the manufacturer's warranty. This is an issue that has persisted from the previous Surface Laptop 3, where screens were brittle and cracked to the point where Microsoft was offering free replacements. This time they're asking for $400 to repair, which is pretty much half of the cost of this machine. I must add that I baby this product, it lives on a desk and doesn't experience any type of activity that would induce this trauma.Buyer beware, if ...

I was looking for a Windows laptop with solid performance for everyday tasks. I was also looking for something without a bunch of bloatware (AKA the predownloaded apps a bunch of manufacturers include) because i just end up deleting those anyway. I figured the Surface laptop was a solid choice for a genuine Windows experience as envisioned by Microsoft themselves. And i really like the laptop, but even at the sale price I snagged this on, its a bit expensive for what it is. There’s a bit of body creaking, the keybaord is solid but I wish it had more travel, the trackpad is okay but somehow I inadvertantly right click while trying to click and vice versa, and the backlit keyboard could be brighter. Overall though, I’m happy the laptop is virtually silent, and the ... MoreI was looking for a Windows laptop with solid performance for everyday tasks.
