Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 (13.8-inch), Snapdragon X Plus, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Platinum

Buyers who want Microsoft’s flagship Copilot+ PC experience in its most understated finish should look at the Surface Laptop 7 in Platinum. It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus (X1P64100) processor, a 10-core ARM chip anchored by a 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU that handles on-device AI features such as Windows Studio Effects and Recall locally, rather than routing them through the cloud. This configuration pairs 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM with a 512GB removable Gen 4 SSD, which is notable because the storage is field-serviceable rather than soldered, unlike many ultraportables in this class. The 13.8-inch PixelSense Flow touchscreen (2304 x 1536, 3:2 aspect ratio) supports a dynamic refresh rate of up to 120Hz, reaches 600 nits of brightness, and adds Dolby Vision IQ along with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Housed in an anodized aluminium chassis, the Platinum finish remains Microsoft’s most popular Surface colourway, and it pairs with a Secured-core PC design that satisfies enterprise IT security requirements out of the box.
