Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 15 Lunar Lake review - A slap in the face for Windows on ARM

Name: Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 15 Lunar Lake
Brand: Microsoft

The Surface laptop is better with Intel.

Last year, Microsoft switched its Surface devices completely to ARM processors from Qualcomm. However, it doesn't seem that business customers want these devices, as the Surface Laptop 15 for Business is now available with Intel's Lunar Lake processors. The result is better in many areas.

Verdict - The Surface Laptop 7 15 is better with Intel Lunar Lake

The new Surface Laptop 7 15 for Business, which is equipped with Intel processors, has advantages over the Snapdragon variant in a number of areas. These include better software compatibility, of course, but surprisingly also improved battery life. In addition, business customers don't seem to want Snapdragon laptops and in general, the Intel variant is simply the better overall package. This is a pretty harsh slap in the face for Windows on ARM, especially when you consider how hard Microsoft is pushing the ARM models.

Although the Lunar Lake processor delivers less multi-core CPU performance, it is on par in single-core scenarios and comes with a faster integrated graphics card as well as Thunderbolt 4. Its IPS screen boasts a high brightness and very accurate color profiles.

One disadvantage that remains for both models is their high surface temperatures under load, so a second fan would really make sense in this respect. The 15-inch model in particular still has quite a lot of free space in its case, which is why this technically shouldn't be a problem. It should also be mentioned that the Intel version's fan gets louder under high load, which is pretty much the only major disadvantage compared to the ARM model.

Finally, there is its price, and the Intel model is around $500 more expensive, going off its MRSP. However, the ARM models are often heavily discounted and the comparable Snapdragon configuration with 32 GB RAM and a 1-TB SSD currently costs around $1,599.99 from Microsoft itself, i.e. a whopping $1,000 less. Naturally, this difference can hardly be justified.

Pros

+ high-quality and stable case

+ good system performance

+ better runtimes than with ARM model

+ comfortable input devices

+ excellent color profiles ex works

+ very quiet during everyday use

+ improved maintenance options/access

Cons

- louder fans under high load

- RAM can't be upgraded

- keyboard gets noticeably warm under load

- no WWAN module

After Microsoft launched the current 7th generation of its Surface laptop exclusively with Qualcomm Snapdragon processors last year, the models with the "for Business" suffix are now also available with Intel processors. Today, we're testing the 15-inch model with the Core Ultra 7 268V, 32 GB RAM, a 1-TB SSD and the familiar IPS touchscreen for an MRSP of $2,599.99. Of course, we are particularly interested in the comparison with the ARM version, which we tested in detail just a few weeks ago.

Differences to the Snapdragon model

The case of the Surface Laptop 7 15 with the Intel Lunar Lake processor isn't any different from the Snapdragon version. This includes the two colors platinum and black. We noted no quality issues, but the laptop's dark aluminum surfaces are susceptible to fingerprint marks. One positive aspect is how easy the components are to access, as there are only four T5 screws under the rubber feet and the base plate is held in place by magnets, so there are no annoying clips. Both the M.2-2242 SSD and the battery can be replaced if necessary and the fan can be cleaned.

The Intel model is also a Copilot+ laptop, but its two USB-C ports now support Thunderbolt 4. Microsoft could have installed more connections such as an additional USB-C port or an HDMI output, especially on the 15-inch model. Its Wi-Fi module also supports Wi-Fi 7 & Bluetooth 5.4, but it doesn't feature a 5G module. Its 2-MP webcam without a mechanical shutter is also the same and its microSD card reader (spring mechanism) is of average speed. The 15-inch model is optionally available with a SmartCard reader.

Input devices - Haptic touchpad

Its backlit keyboard is identical to that of the ARM model and in general, it feels comfortable to use even when composing longer texts. However, the ThinkPad X9 performs even better in this respect. Our test device's haptic touchpad worked very well during our test, boasting a smooth surface and quiet pressure point. The laptop's capacitive touchscreen can also be used for inputs.

Display - IPS at 600 nits and 120 Hz

Only minimal backlight bleeding at full brightness

The laptop's IPS touchscreen generally features good picture quality with vibrant colors, a frequency of 120 Hz and a 3:2 aspect ratio, which is particularly helpful for productive activities. In addition, the picture doesn't appear grainy even when depicting bright content. In contrast to OLED screens, there is also no PWM flickering. Furthermore, its brightness is great at just under 600 cd/m², but its black level is slightly higher, which brings us to its disadvantages compared to OLED panels. Both black level and contrast are simply weaker on IPS panels. The panel's resolution (2,496 x 1,664 pixels) is okay and its response times are unremarkable, but there is still some backlight bleeding. Both its brightness and color temperature can be automatically regulated via a sensor. Halos are not a problem despite its high brightness. HDR content is supported, but the display's maximum brightness remains unchanged at ~600 cd/m²

We have nothing negative to say about its calibration, which is already excellent straight out of the box. In our analysis with the professional CalMAN software, both the Vivid profile (P3 reference space) and the sRGB profile boasted extremely low color deviations. This makes the Surface Laptop 7 15 suitable for image/video editing.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
14.7 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 5.5 ms rise
14.7 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 9.2 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 33 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.7 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
33.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 12.5 ms rise
33.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 20.9 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 43 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (32.4 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8439 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

In the sun (bright day, no direct sunlight)

Although its shiny touchscreen struggles with reflections, especially outdoors, the Surface Laptop performs well overall in this category. Its viewing-angle stability is also good.

Performance - Lunar Lake with 32 GB RAM

Testing conditions

In contrast to the previous Surface Laptop models, the energy profiles of the Surface Laptop 7 15 for Business feature the usual energy mode designations (Best Energy Efficiency, Balanced, Best Performance). We carried out the following benchmarks and measurements using Best Performance mode.

Processor

Our test configuration uses the Core Ultra 7 268V with vPro. The Lunar Lake chips' pure multi-core performance is inferior to the competition, but their single-core performance is good—only Apple's M4 came ahead of all competitors here. Overall, this model's performance is completely sufficient for most office tasks. Its performance remains constant in battery mode, but its multi-core performance drops by around 13% under longer load.

Emissions & energy

Noise emissions

The Surface Laptop 7 15 is a quiet device during everyday use and you'll often only hear a subtle hiss. Under very high load (e.g. when gaming or during the stress test), however, the fan becomes noticeably louder than the ARM model—at least in Best Performance mode—with a maximum of 41.9 dB(A). This noise level lasted for a few minutes. The high frequency is also a little annoying, and a cooling solution with two fans would definitely have been the better option in this case. In the other two modes, Balanced (max. 36.3 dB(A)) and Best Energy Efficiency (max. 34.7 dB(A)), the laptop stays a lot quieter. We noted no other electronic noises coming from our test device.

Temperature

Its surfaces remain nice and cool in idle mode and under low load, but the upper side of its case in particular gets relatively warm under high load—this is noticeable when typing. Once again, this shows that a second fan would be put to good use. We measured a maximum of 43 °C on the underside, so you can rest the laptop on your thighs without any problems even under full load. During the stress test, its consumption leveled off at around 25 watts.

Power consumption

The Intel model requires slightly more energy than the ARM version when idling, but both have a maximum consumption of around 65 watts under full load. During the stress test, however, this value stabilized at around 46 watts, which is why the 65-watt power supply unit supplied is generally sufficient in size.

Runtimes

During our WLAN test, the Intel test device performed slightly better than the Snapdragon variant (both 64 Wh). At 150 cd/m², we measured 17:41 hours, which is almost three hours more than the Snapdragon model, and at full brightness, we noted just under 9 hours. A full charge takes 125 minutes with the device switched on (80% after ~60 minutes).
