Surface Laptop 5

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Yes, and Microsoft is probably in an even worse position than one thinks, they already nuked the "regular" SP and SL under $1000 as of MAY 2025 - well before all the escalations with these prices started. Yes, they introduced the downgraded 2025 (worse than 2024) devices to take some space in the un

My two cents. Don't buy into the windows arm ecosystem yet. Part of the reason that computer is so cheap (just a guess) other than it being Costco, is because of the pain of using windows' translation layer. A lot of folks have been leaning away from them since they came out a little bit ago. Qualco

Microsoft pulled a dick move of selling the same old Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models for $300 more, citing supply chain issues related to AI gobbling up everything. A 16 GB Snapdragon X1 laptop costs more now than it cost me two years ago which is insane. Maybe Lenovo's having the same kind of
