In-Depth Review
The Surface Laptop 6 is Microsoft's most polished laptop yet. The Snapdragon X Elite or Intel Core Ultra configurations both offer excellent performance, and the 15" PixelSense display is among the best IPS panels available — 2496×1664 at 120Hz with great brightness. Build quality is exceptional; the anodized aluminum chassis and Alcantara palmrest feel genuinely luxurious. Copilot+ AI features are genuinely useful on the Snapdragon model. Battery life reaches 20 hours on the ARM model. The limited port selection (two USB-C, one USB-A, Surface connector) is the main criticism.
