The color of the alcantara surface on the top of the base unit changes accordingly. Apart from our test unit in platinum, users can also choose black, burgundy or cobalt blue cases. No changes have been made to the case apart from the fact that Microsoft is now offering the Surface Laptop 2 in four different colors. In combination with the optional Signature keyboard, a comparable configuration of the Surface Pro 6 is actually slightly more expensive than our test unit. The screen of the convertible is slightly smaller at 12.3 inches, but its performance can easily keep up with that of normal laptops. Microsoft itself has produced another competitor - the Surface Pro 6, which can be considered a very good convertible. The biggest competitors of the Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 are the Dell, the Asus ZenBook S UX391 and the new Apple MacBook Air, although this device is a little more expensive than the others. Some of these options are limited to certain color schemes or hardware combinations, which makes things rather complicated. Users can also choose a stronger Core i7, 16 GB of RAM or larger storage devices (512 GB or 1024 GB). The configuration includes the current Core i5-8250U processor, 8 GB of RAM and a 256-GB NVMe SSD.
Our test unit is named LQN-00004 and is currently available from $1500. Particularly productive applications benefit from the additional vertical space that is available in comparison to normal 16:9 panels. The unusual 3:2 display remains the same and is still rather unique in the world of notebooks. The largest changes are the new quad-core processor and the matte-black model. This year's update is simply named Surface 2 and follows the basic concept of its predecessor. Just over a year ago, Microsoft presented its first notebook, the Surface Laptop.
