A Warm Feeling
It is not always about what’s inside a machine, there are a couple of things which are beyond how a laptop works. You will fall in love with Microsoft’s Surface Laptop from the very first moment you will open the lid. There is a common problem in most of the laptops that you can’t open the lid with a single hand. And even you try to do so, the lower part starts leaving the table as it goes up with the lid, 
so you simply put a thumb on it to prevent.
The aluminum finish and strategic design have made all the difference in the Microsoft’s Surface Laptop making it lightweight, 2.76 pounds only. Additionally, alcantara fabric surrounding the trackpad and keys gives a warm feeling.

With high definition resolution of 2256 x 1504 on a 13.5-inch PixelSense display, the display looks similar to Surface Pro 4. The touch display can be used with a stylus and also comes with a built-in keyboard. Microsoft’s Surface Laptop can last long, up to 14.5 hours of video playback, which is pretty groundbreaking aspect a laptop can have.

There Are Some Drawbacks Too
