But that’s pretty much where the similarities end. Sure, they’re both are made by Microsoft, and both sport 13.5-inch screens. What Should You Get?ĭespite their similar names, the Surface Laptop and the Surface Book couldn’t be more different. We’ll put the Surface Laptop to the test when it shows up in our labs. That’s some serious endurance, but Microsoft promises that the Surface Laptop will run for a whopping 14.5 hours (at least with Windows 10 S). The Surface Book lasted for 12 and a half hours on the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which continuously browses the web over Wi-Fi. The Book is for creators who need to run powerful apps, whereas the Surface Laptop is for more average users. The high-octane configuration options for the Surface Book really illustrate the difference between these two machines. That starts at $2,399 for 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD and ranges up to $3,299 for a 1TB SSD and 16GB of RAM. There are a variety of storage and RAM options, and then there’s the newer model with Performance Base, which includes a 6th-Gen Core i7 CPU and Nvidia GeForce GTX 965M graphics. It starts at $1,499 for an older, 6th Generation Core i5 CPU, 8GB or RAM and a 128GB SSD. The Surface Book has far more configurations than the Surface Laptop. For now, you can upgrade to Windows 10 Pro for free, but in 2018, you’ll have to pay an extra $50 for the privilege.
The Surface Laptop also comes with Windows 10 S, which can download apps only from the Windows Store.
All models of the Surface Laptop come in a platinum color, but if you get the $1,299 model, you can also choose from three additional colors: burgundy, cobalt blue and graphite gold. The Surface Laptop is an all-around jaw-dropper, with an aluminum build just 0.6 inches thick a classy, shiny Windows logo and an Alcantara deck that’s soft, comfortable and reminiscent of a luxury car’s interior. The Surface Laptop is built with form in mind, while the Surface Book is clearly all about function. Works with Surface Pen (included) and Surface Dial.
