Microsoft Surface Laptop 8 review: a quality PC whose trackpad taps you back

The Microsoft Surface Laptop 8 offers snappy performance, long battery life, a great keyboard, and an excellent new haptic touchpad. It replaces the 2024 model, features ARM-based Qualcomm chips, and has a higher price due to increased memory and chip costs. The laptop aims to compete with Apple's MacBook Air and other thin, light PCs.
