Full Review

The Surface Laptop 5 is Microsoft's vision of the perfect Windows laptop. It's elegant, powerful, and integrates seamlessly with the Windows ecosystem. The design is stunning - the Alcantara keyboard deck feels luxurious, and the overall build quality is exceptional. The touchscreen is responsive and works beautifully with the Surface Pen for creative work. Performance is solid for everyday tasks and light creative work. Battery life is excellent at 17 hours, making it perfect for all-day work without charging. The main drawback is the limited port selection - only USB-C ports mean you'll need adapters. But if you value design and Windows integration, the Surface Laptop 5 is hard to beat.
