Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 13 almost beat the MacBook Air. Here’s what it missed
- Microsoft introduced the 13-inch Surface Laptop and the 12-inch Surface Pro tablet to compete with Apple's offerings.
- The new Surface Laptop is thin, light, has a better port situation, and a competitive price compared to the MacBook Air.
- However, the Surface Laptop falls slightly short of being a better option despite the pricing advantage.
- It features a 60Hz LCD screen, missing out on higher refresh rate or OLED panels that could have set it apart.
- Both Microsoft and Apple receive criticism for limited storage options, with the Surface Laptop offering non-user-replaceable modules.
- Microsoft's choice of Snapdragon silicon limits user experience compared to the wider compatibility of Intel and AMD chips.
- The new design of the Surface Laptop loses the signature Surface identity, resembling the MacBook Air's aesthetics.
- Despite the changes, the Surface Laptop includes USB-C and USB-A ports, moving away from the magnetic connector.
- Microsoft may need to address internal issues to offer a more compelling choice against Apple's MacBook Air in future iterations.
