Our take on the Microsoft Surface Laptop 13.8 Inch 2K Touchscreen

The Surface Laptop 13.8 is Microsoft's Snapdragon X Elite notebook with a 2304x1536 touchscreen, 16 GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD. Its pitch is battery life and quiet running: the 12-core ARM chip and LCD panel are rated around 20 hours, and Wi-Fi 7 is on board. It suits students, commuters and office workers who want a light Windows machine for browsing, Office and video. Against Intel-based ultraportables it wins on endurance and heat, but loses on native app compatibility and gaming, and its LCD screen lacks the contrast of OLED rivals.

Questions and answers

Does it run all Windows software?
Most mainstream apps run natively on ARM. Older x86 programs run through emulation and some, especially games and certain drivers, do not work.
Is the screen good enough for photo editing?
The 2304x1536 panel is sharp and covers the sRGB range well. Its LCD contrast is weaker than OLED, so dark scenes look less deep.
How long does the battery really last?
Microsoft rates it around 20 hours. Real-world mixed use typically lands well short of that but still covers a full workday.
Can I upgrade the RAM or storage later?
No. The 16 GB RAM is soldered and the SSD is not user-replaceable, so buy the capacity you need up front.
Does it have a headphone jack and USB-A?
It has a 3.5 mm headphone jack and USB-C ports; check the port list, since USB-A is limited on this line.
Is it good for gaming?
No. The Snapdragon X Elite is built for efficiency, and many games either will not launch or run poorly.
