Two-year-old Surface PCs get $300 price hikes as sub-$1,000 models go away

An equivalent M5 MacBook Air now costs $400 less than a similarly specced Surface Laptop, and nothing in Microsoft’s lineup comes close to the MacBook Neo’s value-for-the-money. Apple, unironically the value choice now, especially with the Neo competing iwth cheap plastic shell Windows laptops.

Switch 2 Purchased From Walmart Arrived Empty

Yup. FedEx stole a Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio ($2.5K) delivery. Literally dropped an empty box that was hastily taped back closed on my doorstop. Best Buy refunded me, but not before I had to file a police report. Thankfully, I realized I didn't need that expensive a*s laptop anyway and went to

MKBHD's video about the Mac Neo feels like he purposely didnt mention Surface laptops. Instead used

I love surfaces but the Neo runs circles around them at a far lower price. Saying the Surface Laptop 7 is a “10x better laptop” is just straight up false. The closest Microsoft ever got to a Neo in their lineup was the Surface Go and Go 2, products which, in part due to windows and accessories-not-i

MKBHD's video about the Mac Neo feels like he purposely didnt mention Surface laptops. Instead used

I have the Neo and the Surface laptop 7 (and the latest surface Pro arm) No. The surface Laptop is not 10x a better laptop than the neo. Straight false. I am a fan of the whole Surface lineup, but Microsoft dropped the ball long time ago. Apple laptops since the M1 are much better, in both: value an

Microsoft launches Surface Laptop 5G pre-orders — reengineered from the ground up, and costs $1,799

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Surface Laptop 7 with 5G is not cheap. In fact, it's Microsoft's most expensive 5G product to date, starting at $1,799 for an Intel Core Ultra 5, 16GB RAM, and 256GB SSD storage. The 5G variant is also only available in the 13.8-inch screen size and weighs around 3lbs. Au

Microsoft is officially cooked

Yeah. Microsoft probably doesn't remember the surface even exists. It's a side hustle for them. They keep launching random combos and then never follow up, like the surface go, surface laptop go

Dell built in webcams

Yes, in the past 12+ months we've had so many fail on our fleet of Latitudes I've made the decision to stop buying Dell and pay the extra for Microsoft Surface laptops. We've had camera issues as well as microphones stop working. We always get a Dell engineer to resolve it under warranty (it's alway

Two-year-old Surface PCs get $300 price hikes as sub-$1,000 models go away

Wow. I never thought I'd see the day when a Mac was the significantly cheaper option. Microsoft is practically shooting themselves in the foot with this. The comparable MacBook Air is so much better value it's actually funny. I would be surprised if Surface laptops are still around in a year or two.

Surface Laptop 13 (24GB) — Buy Now or Wait for May Refresh?

Current surface laptop is 7 not 13. I’ve got a 16gb ram elite version. It’s pretty incredible. While not a gaming machine, it plays a LOT of titles very well. If I had to do it again, I’d opt for a 32gb ram machine specifically for gaming (again, I know it’s not a gaming laptop). I upgraded my 512 s
