Surface and Surface Pro series, the Surface Book of powerful 2 in 1 PC which was released last year, the first time released as a product, the stable clamshell type Surface Laptop, and the overwhelming large screen and have four product lineups with high functionality professional desktop PC, Surface Studio. I will suffer the reverse conversely as the number of choices increases so far.

Surface Laptop is the most common device (the newest) in Surface if it says. However, it may have been wanted ...

MacBook Air A slightly wider 13.5 inches, 2,256 x 1, 504 PixelSense display than 13 inch is very shiny. Of course, it's a touch display so you can touch it, unlike MacBook. Though thin. I feel that it was the thinnest touch display. Spacious high definition touch display ... passed, passed.

Next keyboard. To be honest, I thought that the best keyboard in the Surface series is Surface Laptop. The key spacing is also good with the isolation keyboard, the depth of the key is moderately shallow, soft feeling, so even people like kindly wrap around us.

And material made of Alcantara fabric is smooth. I would like to have a smooth slide with the back of my hand. I felt that the trackpad was sensibly 1.3 to 1.5 times larger than Surface Pro and was easy to use. And we also have a backlight which is indispensable.

The interface is USB 3.0, Mini DisplayPort, Headset Jack, Surface Connect (Power), it is not USB Type-C, and SD card does not enter directly ... There are places to think that.

But I feel love the thinness of the closed feeling, stylishness. Surface presented at the event Mr. Panos Panay emphasized: "Surface Laptop is the best when it is closed, it's my favorite." When you close the Surface Laptop, I felt like a gentle close feeling with a sound.

Mr. Panos Panay, business director of Surface who presents with Surface Laptop.

The four colors are "burgundy" "cobalt blue" "graphite gold" "platinum" It will be expanded from the most standard "platinum" of the silver enclosure to the gray keyboard (Personally If you buy it is platinum. Only gold was not displayed in the presentation hall.)

And noteworthy is having a battery of up to 14.5 hours. It is likely to be affordable even for business trips of 2 days a night

It weighs about 1,250 grams, and it's acceptable weight for carrying. By the way, Surface Pro is 768 grams and Surface Book is 1,516 grams, so it is said to be between the two. It is slightly lighter than MacBook Air 13inch.

Surface Laptop thinks that Surface Pen and Surface Dial can not be used ... I thought that I could use it. I do not do fine pen pressure detection with the Surface pen, but I usually make it with a brush and connect Surface Dial with Bluetooth, turn it around and select a menu or use it only limitedly. Surface Pro and Surface Studio are the only ones that work with features when placed on the display.

"Creative work with the pen" does not do much, don't you ... (although I write it roughly). So it's amazing to say "Improvement of Surface Pen" or "Pen Pressure Detection at 4,096 Steps"! While thinking, I personally did not echo so much. Surface Laptop is the most ordinary but most easy to use most balanced notebook PC. In fact, this may be what I wanted most.

And Microsoft presents confidently that it is thinner and lighter than the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro and confidently 50% faster than the MacBook Air.

A soft, smooth keyboard on the display that touches, a smooth keyboard, looks pretty good if the battery is 14.5 hours. So I have plenty of time to think and maybe I will buy it in the summer bonus?
