This was a very helpful review for me. I bought the Surface Laptop 2 but ended up returning it. I-m still searching for the right laptop for me. I am
about to enter an Interior Architecture and Design program come January. I need a laptop that will allow me to run CAD and Revit. I-ve looked at workstations and gaming laptops but I find them a bit too powerful, heavy and over my budget. I-m willing to pay around 1200 for a laptop. What would you recommend? I am partial to the MAC OS OPs but I am willing to transition into a windows OS if it will be my best option. Thanks!

USB-C is cool, and the thunderbolt 3 is even cooler, but right now, who do set up an external GPU and do gaming on laptops like this? Like seriously, they are super expensive to set up and you lose a lot of the performance as well especially when paired with the U series processors. Thunderbolt 3 based ssd are cool, but they are super pricey as well. So I don't think the lack of usb-c or tb3 is the end of the world. Depending on what do you do, it won't be a deal breaker, especially if you are a college student.

To be fair to Miscrosoft, how often does anyone come out with a laptop that's worth upgrading to if you already own the same model from a year or two earlier? Processing power just isn't progressing fast enough to make that worth while and it isn't as though the original Surface was riddled with poor design choices that needed to be fixed. Unless they waited several years, this was always going to be an incremental upgrade. A nice option for new buyers, but a waste of money for most Surface Laptop owners.

I want everyone to move over to USB-C, get rid of USB-A, Lightning, miniDP, etc. My perfect laptop would have an SD card reader for photo and video production and 2-4 USB-C ports. Also ideally i would love to see a dongless bluetooth+wifi/rf wireless mouse with a battery that can be charged wirelessly and a USB-C port for wired use and charging.

Thanks for this, but why do you sit in front of the laptops? We would benefit more from seeing the screen and the keyboard, etc. Oh well. ON to another comparison review, I guess.

I bought a Surface Laptop 2, I needed a laptop for programming, watching videos and writing essays. And you can play games on this. It-s the perfect casual laptop.
