The new aluminum metal chassis feels classier, stronger, smoother, and longer-lasting than the Alcantara versions that Microsoft have been shoving down our throats since the original Surface Laptop. If Microsoft could throw in some additional ports, then they might actually have a winner here.

i head from some people that thunderbolt is a huge intel over amd advantage.
The USB port on Surface appears to be integrated with the body. It helps you not get caught. I've only seen the integrated USB port on Macbooks and Surfaces, and I'm glad Microsoft did it.
I am glad to see Japanese. In Japan, there are no detailed laptop reviews like yours. Those stupid reviews are getting advertising revenue just by posting the manufacturer specification table and photos. I look forward to seeing the Japanese translation.
Arigatou.
