The Surface Laptop 5 benchmarks right where it should. Surface Laptop Studio Core i7-11370H, RTX A2000 It did not see the contents of this review before publishing. A 120Hz display looks pretty, but in tough times with rising prices, it's an easy feature to leave off of your must-have list.Ībout this review : Microsoft sent us a 15-inch Surface Laptop 5 with a Core i7-1255U, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD, for review. When I'm pricing out a laptop I'm reviewing that comes out to over $2,000, it's worth wondering if it's worth it. It's just that some compromises have been made to hit a price point, and as someone that reviews almost every mainstream laptop, I have to ask how much value those lacking features add. Aside from that, the webcam is still HD, although it's been separated from the IR camera for better quality. For example, after the Surface Pro 8 got a 120Hz display last year, that was something we expected to see on the next Surface Laptop. Too bad said stylus isn't included out of the box but instead is an add-on.The Surface Laptop 5 also doesn't have some of the features we expected it to have. It's everything you could ever want from a laptop's sound system.įinally in terms of positives, the touchscreen is impressively responsive, especially when using a stylus. Music is clear enough that you can hear every instrument and voice in a single track, yet loud enough to blast said song from the rooftops. Sound quality is also excellent - in fact, this is one of the best non-gaming laptops we've ever heard. This has the benefit of automatically working across 20,000-plus apps, avoiding the need for you to make changes within individual programs. You can also activate a host of accessibility options within Windows 11. The Start menu itself also houses some quality-of-life changes, including being able to organize apps within folders, as well as scroll through recommended apps.
Another addition is Snap, which allows you to divide your screen into various areas, then place windows into those sections for easy multitasking.įile explorer is another quality-of-life change in which you can open multiple tabs of computer file folders in the same window. Let’s deal with the good first - namely the expanded accessibility options and productivity features.įirst is the Focus function, which locks out notifications for a certain period of time so you can focus on productivity. Performance on the Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 is a mixture of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Great new features that utilize the touchscreen.
