The Surface Laptop is a laptop designed and produced by Microsoft, part of the company's Surface line of personal computing devices.
Surface Laptop was announced at the #MicrosoftEDU event by Microsoft on May 2, 2017, alongside Windows 10 S and an updated version of Surface Arc Mouse that includes a large capactive surface. It was available for a pre-order on the same day and began shipping on June 15, 2017.
Surface Laptop models ship with Windows 10 S, a feature-limited edition of Windows 10 with restrictions on software usage; users may only install software from Windows Store, and system settings are locked to only allow Microsoft Edge as the default web browser with Bing as its search engine, since third-party web browsers using custom layout engines are banned from Windows Store.
The device may be upgraded to Windows 10 Pro for a fee to remove these restrictions. For a promotional period ending December 31, 2017, this upgrade will be free to those who purchase the Surface Laptop.
The Surface Laptop is the 5th addition to Surface lineup, following the Surface Pro, Surface Hub, Surface Book, and the Surface Studio. Unlike the other products, the Surface Laptop is aimed toward students. Microsoft claims a 14.5 hour battery life when running Windows 10 S, depending on usage. It comes in four colors: Platinum, Graphite Gold, Burgundy, and Cobalt Blue as advertised.
It has a 13.5 inch "Pixel Sense" Display at 2256 × 1504 using a 3:2 aspect ratio. It features a 10 - point touch screen along with Surface Pen support. Unlike other ultra-portables by Microsoft, this does not feature any sort of detachment mechanism from the keyboard.
