Opposite the USB ports is a Surface Connect port, but it’s practically useless unless you have a Surface Dock. That means transfer speeds of just 5Gbps. The only ports on offer are the same single USB-A and USB-C ports, and they both only support the old USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard. Ports are unchanged and that’s a massive disappointment. My only complaint is that the display doesn’t get quite bright enough for my taste. Viewing angles are also good, but because of its glossy finish, glare and reflections could be a problem. Colours look great too – vibrant, punchy, and natural-looking. A resolution of 2496 x 1664 pixels gives us a pixel density count of around 200 pixels per inch. The downside, however, is that there are unsightly thick black bars when watching videos in full-screen. Unusual it may be but newcomers will soon find that the extra vertical space offered by this aspect ratio is beneficial for viewing documents and spreadsheets. The 15-inch touchscreen PixelSense display has a 3:2 aspect ratio. The edges are immaculately finished and the aluminium body feels immovable. It’s one of the most portable 15-inch notebooks available now.
The footprint and thickness (14.7mm) is the same, and so is the weight (1.54kg). The design is, as I mentioned, unchanged. The model we are looking at today is the 15-inch one. The latest generation Surface Laptop 4 still comes in two sizes: 13.5 and 15 inches. So for 2021, Microsoft has wisely decided to leave its design untouched and instead upgrade only the internals. Last year’s Surface Laptop 3 was one of the most portable and aesthetically pleasing Windows notebooks you could buy.
