🔍Our review: Surface Laptop 5 review: Does an old design still make for a great laptop?
There is nothing quite as nice as the unmatched satisfaction of a Microsoft Surface
Our Surface Laptop 5 review and Surface Pro 9 review go over all the fine details, benchmarks, specifications, and more if you want to get a real deep dive into these fine Windows PCs.
As expected, we're big supporters of the Surface product range here at Windows Central. Regrettably, they come with a similar price tag due to their competition with Apple regarding build quality and design. Nonetheless, if you haven't experienced a Surface device yet, I believe the reliability and premium feel make the price worthwhile. It's a great time to jump into the Surface ecosystem and prepare for the upcoming ARM-powered Surface devices we covered.
One of the first things I did when I started here at Windows Central was pick up a Surface Book 3, which completely spoiled me when it comes to typing. When I have to switch back to a different laptop for my other work, I find myself completely messing up my typing as the other laptop has inferior pressure and placement of the keys. Honestly, I can't use anything besides my Surface to type long-form text because of how great the keyboard feels.
I understand the Surface products are not what we can consider a bargain, but for the premium build quality and aesthetics they achieve, it makes sense why the price tag can be so hefty. If these deals above are still out of reach for your budget, don't forget to check out Microsoft's somewhat hidden refurbished site for some deals.
The savings get even sweeter with refurbished devices. They might have some previous use, but they've been thoroughly tested, had any necessary parts swapped out, and are repackaged to look as good as new. I think going for a refurbished device is a smart move, but either way, you're in for some serious savings.
