85.4% Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 (Core i5, 256 GB) Laptop Review | Notebookcheck
The new Surface Laptop 2 from Microsoft is a slightly reworked version of the old model with an up-to-date processor. Overall, this creates a well-balanced package. We are particularly happy with the 3:2 screen. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has not improved connectivity.
