You can pick from four lovely colours too, with the Ice Blue model (reviewed here) being my personal favourite. It’s not the lightest ultrabook around at 1.3kg, but it’s still dead easy to lift up with one hand so there’s no issue there. The brightly coloured aluminium lid looks ace, and the chassis is extremely sleek. To call this laptop ugly would be unfair though, especially when you close the lid. It looked okay back then, but now it’s starting to look prehistoric. While most laptops have now trimmed down the bezel to afford more screen space, Microsoft is still using the same chunky surrounding it did in 2019. My biggest issue with the design is that it looks incredibly outdated compared to modern competitors such as the Dell XP S 13. It’s strange, but it looks great and is comfortable to rest your palms on. You also have the option of a sleek aluminium casing, or an Alcantara coating, which is like having your laptop cladded in carpet.

Both are conventional clamshell laptops, with no convertible hinge, although it does have touch support if you want to scroll by flicking your finger. The Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 comes in two form factors: 13-inch and 15-inch with Microsoft sending me the former.

Both 13-inch and 15-inch versions available.

But the lack of improvements to the design – which is looking very outdated – means Microsoft lacks the edge it once had in this market, and can no longer be considered as one of the best laptop options. Is the Surface Laptop 4 better than the Surface Laptop 3? Absolutely. The new processors also give Microsoft’s laptop a far better battery life, addressing one of the major flaws of its predecessor. Microsoft has upgraded the processor options, with both 11th Generation Intel Core and AMD Ryzen 4000 chips available for an excellent productivity performance. However, with no design update in sight, this feels more like a minor update than a fully-fledged successor to the Surface Laptop 3. The Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 is the fourth entry in Microsoft’s premium ultra-portable laptop range.
