And we have not even factor in the frequent Window OS updates. Once you start filling it with photos, videos and graphic files, you'll run out of space in no time. So if you're using the 128GB model, which actually has only 119GB in actual capacity, you'll only be left with 97GB of actual storage left. After you install apps, maybe that will take up another 10GB. After formatting, the actual capacity are as followsĪ clean Windows 10 installation takes up 12GB. So if you plan on loading large files, opening more apps, such as web browsers, listening to music or using other apps, it's good to have more memory.įor graphic design and photo editing, please get the model with at least 256GB storage. I find with Photoshop, Illustrator and Lightroom (with 100 RAW photos) opened, the system already uses close to 8GB RAM. Avoid the m3 model even for graphic design work.ĨGB of RAM is still enough for graphic design nowadays but if you have the budget, go for 16GB. If you plan to do a lot of video editing, definitely get the i7 model or if you have the budget, get a laptop with quad core processors. For graphic design, photo editing and occasional 1080P video editing, the laptop is powerful enough. The specifications look decent for a 13.5-inch laptop.īoth Intel i5-7200U and i7-7660U has the same base clock speed of 2.5Ghz but the boost speed for the i5 tops at 3.1Ghz while the i7 goes up to 4.0Ghz. Here are the different configurations possible and the pricing.
Here's the configuration of the review I received: The Surface Laptop? Is it worth the money? Let's see. At least with the Surface Pro when it first came out, it had the unique selling point of having a full desktop OS running in a tablet form. I found it strange for Microsoft to make and sell a laptop though because the laptop market is incredibly competitive.
This is Microsoft's first laptop, and one that's part of their expanding Surface product line, one that currently includes the Surface Pro, Surface Book 2 and Surface Studio. The Surface Laptop is a 1.25kg 13.5-inch touchscreen laptop. So hopefully my review can still be useful and relevant. Anyway, my review is written for graphic designers and creatives and there aren't many such reviews out there. I was looking for the release date when I found that it was actually released in mid 2017. Here's the Microsoft Surface Laptop review unit that I've finally gotten my hands on thanks to Microsoft Singapore.
