Is the Surface Laptop 4 a laptop worth considering? Design

In recent years, we've found the Dell XPS 13 typically ticks all the boxes, but there are other contenders out there, and one of them comes from Microsoft. The Surface Laptop has offered a slim and light take on what Microsoft thinks a MacBook Air-styled machine could be like, and in its most recent iteration, the company might have finally nailed the balance.

The Surface Laptop 4 is a great example of this perfect blend of form and function. Its Alcantara keyboard, which we'll get to in a moment, is a major highlight, but it's not the only thing that makes this laptop stand out. The design is sleek and modern, with a magnesium body that exudes premium quality. It's also incredibly light, weighing in at just 1.6 pounds, making it easy to toss into a bag or backpack.

But what really sets the Surface Laptop 4 apart is its Alcantara keyboard. This unique material is soft and tactile, providing a comfortable typing experience that's hard to find on other laptops. It's also surprisingly durable, resisting wear and tear well despite being made of a delicate material. And with a backlit design, you can work in low-light environments without any issues.

Of course, the goal is to get the best laptop for your price range, but working out which one is the best isn't easy. Once you start looking at options, you'll be able to pick from thin and light, thin and light and durable, and even thin and light and durable and capable. You already have the choice of Windows versus Mac, but if you're settled on the former, the amount of choices you have can get kind of crazy.

Trying to find a laptop isn't typically as easy as picking the best one, because there are so many options vying for the title of 'best laptop.' There's fierce competition this year in the slim Windows laptop world, with the Surface Laptop 4 bringing the fight to Dell, Lenovo, and everyone else. But with its unique Alcantara keyboard and sleek design, the Surface Laptop 4 is definitely worth considering as a top contender.
