A week with the Surface Laptop 7: There’s a lot to like, but the Copilot Plus PC isn’t perfect

While I used a Microsoft Surface Laptop for this review, there are actually a lot of options if you want to get the Copilot Plus PC experience. Dell, HP, Samsung, and others all offer hardware in the $1,300 range with the same or similar Snapdragon X CPUs and dedicated Copilot keys. So, in terms of the core experience, these PCs are all very similar; the design, keyboard, and display features are quite different.
Still, the Microsoft Surface Laptop’s design sets a new bar, and it’s well built, as you’d expect from a seventh-generation, $999-plus laptop. The recycled aluminum is available in a stylish Sapphire (blue) or Dune (bronze/tan) colorway, as well as in practical black and silver. I went with the latter, and wasn’t disappointed. With a pixel-dense 2,496 x 1,664 HDR touchscreen, responsive tactile keys, and future-proof Wi-Fi 7 support on this 15-inch model, Microsoft certainly showed us how good Copilot Plus PC hardware can be. My only complaint: The 15-inch model is a bit heavier at 1.7kg (3.67lbs), compared to the less-than-1kg Huawei MateBook X Pro (2024) ultrabook and 1.24kg for the MacBook Air. Still, Microsoft has packed a Surface Laptop 7 battery that will easily last you through a full workday. As everyone has said, battery life on these devices is truly exceptional. I haven’t experienced Microsoft’s 20-hour video playback or 15-hour web browsing metrics (at a fairly dim 150 nits), but the latter isn’t far off the 10 hours or more I’ve seen when using a laptop during the day. There’s a big asterisk in these battery claims, though, which we’ll get to later.
No matter which Copilot Plus PC you choose, you’ll get Snapdragon X performance, AI extras, and long  Surface Laptop 7 battery life.
For a cutting-edge device, I found the choice of USB ports a bit odd. Two multifunction USB-C ports are flanked by USB-A sockets and a 3.5mm headphone jack, while a microSD card hides in another port, which I find useful. But it’s 2024 now, and I could live without the old port types if it could make the laptop a little lighter (my desktop audio, display, and keyboard are on dongles anyway), but I appreciate that others might still find some use for these traditional use cases. Unfortunately, the USB-A port failed a few times for me, completely refusing to accept or power any connection until a reboot.Microsoft Surface Home 7th GenThis question is surprisingly difficult. On the one hand, the Copilot Plus PCs offer a refined Windows experience that many consumers undoubtedly want. They both have absolutely amazing battery life, a wealth of ports and features, and promise to deliver the best new AI tools for the platform, with room to grow as the space evolves. In this regard, I really like the Microsoft Surface Laptop, and the fledgling Copilot Plus PC ecosystem has a lot of potential.
