Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 (13.5″) – Top 5 Pros and Cons

    While a lot of companies tend to disagree with Apple’s practices and closed ecosystem, deep inside they want the same thing, as the tech giant is printing money left right, and center. Microsoft is one such company, which tries to emulate the Apple experience with its Surface lineup of products. However, they can’t get it to be as good, as fast, or as efficient, simply due to the fact that Windows as an OS is made to fit a variety of different hardware, while Apple’s macOS runs exclusively on Apple Silicon (unless you want to build a Hackintosh, which is a whole another ordeal). Today’s Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 doesn’t bring a lot of changes, except for the hardware, so let’s see what Microsoft has done right, or wrong.

    Today we’re presenting you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 (13.5″).

    Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 (13.5″): Full Specs / In-depth Review


    3 reasons to BUY the Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 (13.5″)

    1. Display quality

    The star of the show comes in at the front, as the 13.5-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 2256 x 1504p and excellent viewing angles, and a max brightness of 409 nits. The contrast ratio is also quite good, measuring at 1290:1. The panel shows 90% sRGB coverage.

    The panel also has decent accuracy with our Design and Gaming profile, albeit the dE value still doesn’t drop down to less than 2. Here are the test results with the stock settings (left) and with our profile applied (right).

    Office Work

    Office Work powinien być używany głównie przez użytkowników, którzy spędzają większość czasu patrząc na teksty, tabele lub po prostu przeglądając internet. Ten profil ma na celu zapewnienie lepszej wyrazistości i klarowności poprzez utrzymanie płaskiej krzywej gamma (2.20), natywnej temperatury barwowej i percepcyjnie dokładnych kolorów.

    Design and Gaming

    Ten profil jest przeznaczony dla projektantów, którzy pracują z kolorami zawodowo, a także do gier i filmów. Design and Gaming wykorzystuje panele wyświetlaczy do granic ich możliwości, czyniąc je tak dokładnymi, jak to tylko możliwe w standardzie sRGB IEC61966-2-1 dla stron internetowych i telewizji HD, przy punkcie bieli D65.

    Health-Guard

    Health-Guard eliminuje szkodliwą modulację szerokości impulsu (PWM) i redukuje negatywne niebieskie światło, które wpływa na nasze oczy i ciało. Ponieważ jest on dostosowany do każdego panelu, udaje mu się utrzymać percepcyjnie dokładne kolory. Health-Guard symuluje papier, dzięki czemu nacisk na oczy jest znacznie zmniejszony.

    2. Design and build quality

    The Surface Laptop 5 comes in with a full-metal (heh) build. You can also get it with an Alcantara material that covers the base, providing extra softness and warmth, as well as minimizing fingerprints. Durability is decent, as the base shows a bit of flex, but the lid is ultimately more durable. In terms of dimensions, the laptop weighs only 1.27 kg and has a profile of 14.5 mm.

    The lid opens easily with one hand, revealing the base, with a backlit keyboard and touchpad. The board has very short key travel, but the clicky feedback is a saving grace. The touchpad is quite responsive and accurate.


    3. Battery life

    With only a 47.5Wh battery, the Surface Laptop 5 lasts for 8 hours and 25 minutes of Web browsing, or 8 hours and 56 minutes of video playback. Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits, and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with.

    2 reasons NOT to buy the Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 (13.5″)

    1. I/O

    The port selection of the device includes one USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) port, one Thunderbolt 4 port, and a 3.5mm audio combo jack.


    2. Upgradeability

    Microsoft wanted to follow Apple in the worst way possible, by making the laptop so hard to open that even we didn’t dare to try, as we don’t like to break tech. The laptop arrives with a base configuration featuring 8GB or 16GB of soldered LPDDR5x memory and either 256GB or 512GB of removable storage, with one M.2 slot.
