Read Zac Bowden’s long-term review of the Surface Laptop 5 published just a few days ago. Bowden gave it 4.5 stars out of 5 and said it’s “great to use, with good battery life, great performance, and a good screen.” He lamented the lack of innovation in the exterior design, but as long as the insides are new and improved it still makes for a great machine.
At its most basic level, the Laptop 5 comes with a 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB solid state drive. It also has a 13.5-inch screen with a PixelSense touch display and 2256 x 1504 pixel resolution. Of course there are a ton of options for expanding on all of those, and you can choose from a variety of colors as well. Upgrade to a 15-inch screen, as much as 32GB RAM, and even a 1TB SSD if you prefer.
All versions of the Surface Laptop 5 use Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics. It’s not a bad way to go, but it does limit you if you’re into more advanced gaming options.
