Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 review!

The original Surface Laptop was a well-designed piece of hardware that was held back by underwhelming components and the feature-limited Windows 10 S version of the operating system, but the Surface Laptop 2 is Microsoft’s chance to give the idea another shot. The result is a winner. The Surface Laptop 2 is an attractive ultra-thin notebook, with a sleek, distinctive design, solid power and battery life, and a great touchscreen. Positioned as a rival to Apple’s MacBook Air, it delivers a similar experience with more power and a lower starting price.

That's why the Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 is worth considering.

Viewed from above on our Platinum review unit, the Surface Laptop 2 unmistakably attempts to mine Apple’s minimal schtick, with a familiar gray shade of aluminum and a reflective logo smack dab in the middle. The Burgundy, Cobalt Blue and Black versions, however, offer a kind of curb appeal that’s different from what Apple has in its own color palette.
