To recap
The Surface Laptop 2 is one of the best premium ultraportables out there. Just like its predecessor it’s gorgeous to look at and incredibly well built. Only this time it comes with full Windows 10 off the bat, plus more power than before. The biggest downside is the lack of USB-C, otherwise it’s near perfect.
