The Surface Laptop for Business 8th Edition is a specialized machine. If you are a standard consumer, you are likely better off waiting for the Snapdragon X2 models later this summer, which will almost certainly offer better battery life and cooler operation for a lower price. However, if you are in the corporate or government sector and your "office" is often a tray table on an airplane or a busy terminal, this is currently one of the best laptops on the market. Between the revolutionary privacy screen, the top-tier typing and touchpad experience, and the rock-solid security foundation, it is a formidable tool for getting work done safely.Surface Laptop for Business 8th Edition with a closed screen featuring a Windows logo, resting on a white surface.

I don’t often review business laptops, but I jumped at the chance to test the Microsoft Surface Laptop 8 since I’ve always admired this series. It’s arguably the best one yet, even though this notebook is meant for enterprise. Though I’m impressed by what it offers, it’s hard to recommend this notebook to the average reader I normally write for. You’re better off with something like the 13-inch MacBook Air or MSI Prestige 14 Flip AI+, which cost $1,099 and $1,299 (respectively). You’ll get a comparable or better experience for hundreds less. Price aside, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 8 delivers where it matters. If you’re looking for a dependable business notebook and have the cash for it, you won’t go wrong.

Following a substantial price hike across its entire Surface line, Microsoft has revealed refreshes of the Surface Laptop and Surface Pro for Business. This is the reverse of how the last Surface refresh rolled out, when Microsoft announced the Arm-powered Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7, then launched Intel variants roughly six months later.

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.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
