Look your best in Microsoft Teams video calls with a camera that works great in tough lighting conditions. (Up to 19 hours on Surface Laptop 4 13.5” AMD Ryzen™ 5 Microsoft Surface Edition processor.)

Power a full day of video calls and working with your essential apps. Our ultra-slim laptop delivers more multitasking speed with 11th Gen Intel® Core™ or AMD Ryzen™ Microsoft Surface Edition processors. Up to 70% faster than before with choice of processors In our reviews of the Surface Laptop 4 models, we saw the 13.5 version reach 10 hours and 46 minutes, and the 15-inch model last just over 12 hours.Get it done with more multitasking power and up to 70% more speed than before, longer battery life, and sleek, ultrathin design in a lightweight business laptop. Here's a big claim: Microsoft states the Surface Laptop 5 13.5 offers up to 18 hours of battery life, while the 15-inch option delivers up to 17 hours. We'll need to test the performance once we get our hands on the Surface Laptop 5 for review, so stay tuned for that.

Plus, you can expect the same Intel Iris Xe graphics. The DDR5 RAM will be a step up in the Surface Laptop 5 over the Surface Laptop 4. You can also expect Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity. All models come with Intel Iris Xe graphics. Other configurations for the Surface Laptop 5 include 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB of LPDDR5x RAM, along with removable SSD options including 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB. The Ryzen 7 4980U CPU (also called the AMD Ryzen 7 Microsoft Surface Edition) made a big difference on the 15-inch Surface Laptop 4 we tested, but you could also get it with an Intel Core i7-1185G7 CPU or a Core i5 in the 13.5-inch model. However, we're not seeing any AMD configurations like on the Surface Laptop 4 (for now). Each model will be equipped with one USB-C port with USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 support, along with a USB-A 3.1 slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a Surface Connect port. We were disappointed with the Surface Laptop 4's lack of Thunderbolt support, but Microsoft has come to deliver Thunderbolt 4 on the Surface Laptop 5.Īlthough, not too many. Last year's model peaked at 334 nits of brightness, so we're hoping to see brighter displays on the Surface Laptop 5 models.

We have yet to test out the Surface Laptop 5, but seeing as it's identical to the Surface Laptop 4, we know it's a great panel that can hold its own against anything short of OLED. They'll still see the signature 3:2 aspect ratio. However, the 15-inch model is a little different, delivering a 15-inch (2496 x 1664) PixelSense touchscreen compared to last year's model (2256 x 1504). We'll see the same 13.5-inch (2256 x 1504) PixelSense touchscreen with 10-point multi-touch support, but with Dolby Vision IQ support.
