About this listen

In this week's episode, we take a closer look at the Microsoft Surface Laptop and whether it's worth buying in its current state. While it's one of the most aesthetically pleasing laptops on the market, with its wedge design and color options, it hasn't received a real update since the first generation. One of the biggest drawbacks is the thick bezels, which make it feel outdated compared to other laptops with thinner bezels. Additionally, the 15" model doesn't take advantage of the extra space with upgrades, and it lacks modern features found on the rest of the Surface lineup.

Despite its shortcomings, the Surface Laptop still has its fans who appreciate its design and the 3:2 display. However, with the release of the Surface Laptop Go, Microsoft's budget option with slimmer bezels and rounded corners, it's hard to justify paying more for the Surface Laptop 5.

As we discuss the pros and cons of the Surface Laptop, we also delve into the debate over form vs. function. Some people prefer larger bezels for easier touchscreen use, while others prefer thinner bezels for a sleeker look. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what features and design elements are important to each individual.
