The machine’s build quality helps, too, because it means the buttons hammer down into a robust base. The buttons are light, which makes it easy to type quickly for long periods, and the buttons don’t feel weak or hollow – instead, they’re solid and well made. That’s a mistake, because it means you don’t get Thunderbolt’s better bandwidth – so you can’t run multiple monitors, charge beefier accessories or use external GPUs or desktop docks. It’s joined here by a full-size USB 3.1 port.īoth rivals include Thunderbolt 3, though, and the Surface doesn’t. Microsoft has swapped this outdated connection for USB Type-C, which is more useful – it can charge accessories, connect to other devices and power external displays. The only notable external change is the omission of mini-DisplayPort. This machine is strong enough to survive life on the road, although a protective sleeve is a good idea just to avoid any scuffs or scratches. We're talking about fine margins here, though: it’s still an incredibly slim, light laptop. This new Surface weighs just under 1.3kg and is 14.5mm thick – virtually identical to the MacBook and a little thicker than the Dell. The MacBook comes in space grey, gold and silver, while the Dell’s available in silver, white or gold. It's more visual versatility than rivals. The familiar Alcantra fabric isn’t standard now, either –that soft material is only available on the blue and platinum models, with aluminium used elsewhere. Last year’s burgundy has been binned this year, the platinum, black and blue options are joined by a new gold shade. Instead of changing the design, Microsoft has tweaked some of the aesthetic options. There may not be a design revolution, but the Surface still looks brilliant – easily the equal of the MacBook and the Dell.
