Cons
The Microsoft Surface Laptop 8 is a premium 13.8-inch business notebook running Windows 11 Pro. It features a 16-core Intel Core Ultra X7 368H processor, Intel Arc B390 graphics, and 32 GB of DDR5 memory. Its 2304 × 1536 touchscreen combines a 3:2 aspect ratio, 120 Hz refresh rate, and integrated privacy technology. Reviewers praise the elegant design, vivid display, excellent keyboard, responsive touchpad, and long battery life.

There's lots to love on the Microsoft Surface Laptop 8; its battery life is great, the keyboard and touchpad are excellent, the display is bright and beautiful, and you get some privacy, provided no one simply looks over the top of the screen. All in all, it's a solid business machine.

The eighth-gen Surface Laptop for Business is worth it, particularly if you frequently have sensitive information on your screen and often work in public places. Microsoft's privacy screen here is the best implementation of this feature that I've experienced on a laptop.

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.
