Microsoft Surface Laptop 15" 7th Edition Platinum 2024
The Snapdragon X Elite 12-core chip and integrated Adreno GPU drive a 15-inch 2496x1664 IPS 120Hz touchscreen, enabling fluid AI-powered Copilot+ features without fan noise. Its aluminum unibody construction and replaceable SSD offer a durable, serviceable design at just 1.66kg with Wi‑Fi 7 connectivity. This laptop suits business professionals and developers who need all-day battery life and AI-accelerated multitasking, though it’s poorly suited for gaming.
