Pros and Cons

Microsoft Surface Laptop 4

Strengths

The Microsoft Surface Laptop for a thousand pounds, a thousand dollars, however, are two things that you get if you're coming from the mac ecosystem which I think are definitely worthy of mention. One of them is the touchscreen so this is a touchscreen laptop and it's the first one I've used properly really.
I love facial recognition it all kind of sits under the banner of Windows Hello which is the kind of security layer that sits around windows... When you open your laptop this laptop in particular and it recognizes your face it logs you in and it's the best thing ever
This is just a solid laptop it's just a very solid laptop that doesn't really have any frills you know, it's good value for money, perfectly powerful lots of battery life looks good admittedly I don't have anything to compare it with at the moment
If you want a genuine complete bare bones Windows experience without any bloatware and rubbish put on top of it I highly recommend the Surface Laptop for now
It has some strange things you know I don't know why they use this proprietary charging thing but it's it's a small gripe really
