I bought this laptop in used condition and I use it for work since three weeks. I can fully confirm the test made by Notebookcheck. This is a very god laptop, very responsive, with a very good keyboard, good ports (although too few as usual with Surface laptops) and a very bright screen. The drawbacks are that mentionned in the test: the case heat quite a lot, which is pleasant in winter but annoying in summer and the screen is very reflective. I solved the latter by buying a privacy screen on amazon.

84% is a very low score considering its price. Anyway, reading the review makes it very clear this laptop is not competitive at all.

Quote from: igniam on April 26, 2023, 20:45:28To have 84% as a score, despite being an offering that is way below par with similarly priced laptops is an insult to your readers and quite a disappointment from a reputable site as your self.

It would be better to push these manufacturers forward by scoring down on a company providing no improvements whatsoever for 5 straight generations!!!! I mean even Apple and Dell, do better and they are the OG in not making changes, there is Lenovo , but they are an entire story by themselves

you need to read the transparency; they receive a free product to review it then they need to send it back.
that why you have high score for awful device like this laptop, that should cost $1000 at max.
this why I said in the past few years ago, that the reviewers are not that trustworthy as they used to be.
but at least they have list some of its downside.

Microsoft have updated the Surface Laptop 5 with Alder Lake processors and Thunderbolt 4 - but the rest of the device has remained the same. Neither performance nor features can make up for the laptop's premium price.
