Microsoft's Surface Laptop review: the best looking Windows

Microsoft's new Surface laptop says nothing about the future of technology. The team in Redmond didn’t concern itself with the way things will be in 2025 — which ports users will want, what kind of device they’ll use, how they’ll feel about bezels. Instead, Microsoft built a laptop optimised for 2017.Contrast that approach with Apple’s MacBooks. To trim every millimetre from its laptops, Apple invented a shallower keyboard. It ditched standard USB ports, embracing USB-C and hoping everyone else will do the same. And the TouchBar? Don’t even go there. Apple doesn’t make the laptop you want now. It makes the laptop you might want four years from now.But if you asked 1,000 people what they want in a laptop today and put it all in a £979 package, you’d get something like the Surface Laptop. After a week with a burgundy review model, I can say it looks and feels fantastic, especially the fabric covering the keyboard and trackpad. It’s a terrific laptop, once you upgrade the hopelessly crippled version of Windows that comes installed. (More on that later.) The future of laptops looks messy, expensive, and bedevilled by dongles, but the Surface Laptop spares you the transition pain. Microsoft built a right here, right now laptop, and a damn good one at that.
