I only have problems. My employer gave me a Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 with Windows 11 last August.

I've been using the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 which comes with the Snapdragon chip (X Elite), for almost a year now. For your use case, it will be perfect. The performance is also really good, flies through everything I use it for. App compatibility is also drastically improving every day. Photosho

Brand new Microsoft Surface Laptop (2024, 13-inch, ARM) straight out of the box and fully updated patches, firmware, 25H2. It can't come out of the black screen when the display goes to sleep. This issue occurs on Microsoft's own hardware. Quite sad.

It doesn't even want to install on my Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 with intel cpu. If Microsoft can't even make an update to work on their own hardware, all hope is lost.

Yes, you'll hear the fans more often in a 13-inch X Elite. Besides that, not really since Windows on ARM still hasn't matured. If you want the X Elite, go for a 15-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 7.
