Microsoft Surface

Microsoft Surface laptops are designed to provide a balance of performance and portability, so they may not be as powerful as some high-performance laptops. However, they are powerful enough to handle most everyday tasks, such as web browsing, streaming media, and basic office applications.

These models from the Surface line are worth considering for your next laptop purchase:

Surface Book

The Surface Book is a laptop-tablet hybrid with a detachable keyboard. It has a 13.5” PixelSense display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, up to 16GB of RAM, up to 1TB of storage, and Intel Core i5 or i7 processor options. It also has a discrete NVIDIA GeForce GPU for graphics.

Surface Pro

The Surface Pro is a tablet-laptop hybrid. It has a 12.3” PixelSense display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, Intel processors. It has a removable stylus pen and a zero-gravity hinge that allows the display to be adjusted to different angles.

Surface Laptop

The Surface Laptop is a traditional laptop. It has a 13.5” PixelSense display with a 3:2 aspect ratio and up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. It runs on Windows 10 S and is equipped with an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor and an optional discrete NVIDIA GeForce GPU for graphics. A removable Alcantara fabric-covered keyboard adds a distinctive edge to the laptop.

Surface Studio

The Surface Studio is an all-in-one PC. It has a 28” PixelSense display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, up to 32GB of RAM, up to 2TB of storage, and Intel Core i5 or i7 processor options. Similar to the Surface laptop, this unit has an optional discrete NVIDIA GeForce GPU for graphics. It also has a foldable hinge that allows the display to be used as a drawing tablet.

The keyboard cover is a great accessory for your Surface laptop. It is designed to protect your keyboard from damage, and it also makes typing easier by providing a cushioned surface that conforms to the shape of your fingers. The backlit keys make it possible to use in low-light settings, and they are even quieter than other keyboards because they don't have any moving parts like other keyboards do (like those annoying little springs).

You can also use the keyboard cover with the Surface Pen or Dial (sold separately) for drawing or writing on screen; this feature is especially helpful when editing documents or photos in Microsoft Office apps such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
