Both of those make switching to another manufacturer a higher barrier than for a typical consumer. Both the Surface Laptop 5 and the Surface Studio 2 Plus seem to have been updated with enterprise buyers in mind, where product buying gets approved for specific configurations and a change that may increase the price means another round of approvals, but IT departments want the laptops it distributes to be as homogeneous as possible for easier accessorizing, support and deployment. At least, it wasn't for the $1,700 top-end model we reviewed.Īge always shows in the screen bezels, which dates the design. The Surface Laptop 5 is a fine notebook, just as it's always been, but it's not as up-to-date or high performing as a lot of similarly priced (or cheaper) models - the Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1, Lenovo Yoga 7i, HP Spectre x360 or even the MacBook Air if you swing that way. Microsoft has stuck with the same essential design for years, doing the least to keep it current. The Surface Laptop line reminds me so much of an older generation of MacBooks.
