I have been using the Surface Laptop 4 (a 15-inch model with an AMD chip) as my go-to computer since before the product’s official debut. While the upgrades might not be visible on the outside, that doesn’t change their significance the new Surface is a noticeably improved take on one of the finest PC notebooks. Here’s everything you need to know about its design, hardware, and everyday performance.
Design: 9/10
Its keyboard and trackpad are excellent.
Surface Connect is the best connectivity and charging tech not involving USB-C.
The Surface Laptop 4 looks identical to the previous generation. It’s timelessly elegant and a joy to interact with, so I’m not disappointed that Microsoft went with the same design. Weighing well below three pounds with a 13.5-inch display, and under 3.5 pounds with a 15-inch screen, the Laptop 4 is insanely portable, too.

Surface Laptop 4 vs. Surface Book 3: Design & Display
The designs of the Surface Laptop 4 and the Surface Book 3 couldn t be more different. One is a traditional ultrabook laptop, and the other is a 2-in-1 detachable with a unique hinge design. They re both available in 13.5-inch and 15-inch variants, but that s pretty much where the similarities end.
