Microsoft Surface Laptop 15" Surface Laptop (2024) Black

79.3 Score
15" Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite X1E-84-100 32GB RAM 1024GB SSD Qualcomm Integrated
Why we recommend this

The Snapdragon X Elite 12-core chip delivers faster multi-threaded performance than the MacBook Air M3, paired with up to 20 hours of battery life and a 120Hz touchscreen. Its 15-inch 2496x1664 IPS display offers 600 nits brightness and a 120Hz refresh rate, while the integrated NPU enables real-time AI features like live captions and Recall. It's ideal for business travelers and developers who need a long-lasting, AI-enhanced Windows laptop for productivity tasks, though its integrated graphics rule out gaming.
