Reviews for the Microsoft Surface Laptop 8 13.8, Core X7 368H

Surface Laptop 8 for Business review: Yesterday’s laptop at tomorrow’s price
Source: PC World English
Shave $1,000 or so off of the price tag and I think that I could justify the price of the current Surface Laptop 8 for Business. As it is, this laptop is simply far too expensive to recommend, even to those on a business budget. It’s worth noting that the laptops we’re comparing the Surface Laptop shipped recently, so they too are subject to the inflationary costs of memory and storage that are in play here. Battery life should be roughly the same. But consider this: Dell is launching a Dell XPS 13 with a 13.4-inch OLED screen for as little as $699. I feel like I’ve spent enough words on this laptop. It’s overpriced. Don’t buy it.
