Pros
Cons
The Microsoft Surface Laptop 8 features a 13.8-inch, 2304 x 1536 IPS touchscreen with a 120 Hz refresh rate and pen support. Its Snapdragon X2 Plus processor, integrated Adreno graphics, and 16 GB of LPDDR5x memory deliver strong everyday performance. The laptop includes a 512 GB SSD, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, USB4 connectivity, and a 1080p infrared webcam. Reviewers commend its premium construction, bright display, comfortable keyboard, responsive trackpad, and improved battery life. Its integrated graphics are suitable for casual gaming at reduced settings. Despite an aggregate rating of about 89.5 percent, the high €1,699 price is a notable drawback.

Reviews for the Microsoft Surface Laptop 8 13.8
Microsoft now offers its Surface Laptop 13.8 with new Snapdragon X2 ARM chips from Qualcomm with better performance and longer battery runtimes. You still get the bright IPS screen as well as comfortable input devices, which makes it a really good overall package.

The Surface Laptop 8 is another excellent premium PC from Microsoft. It may not be much different from its predecessor but it looks and feels great, the screen is really good, and the keyboard and trackpad are some of the best you can get on a PC. But like all electronics, not only computers, the Surface Laptop 8 has been hit by a nasty price increase because of RAMageddon, which has made it about £500 or so more than it should be.
