Why I’d grab the flagship Surface Laptop 7 over the midrange model right now
The Surface Laptop 7 with its 120hz 13.8-inch touchscreen, Snapdragon X Plus, and Windows Hello face unlock is currently the same price as Microsoft's smaller, cheaper, Surface Laptop 13-inch without all that flagship stuff.

The big Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale is still happening, but not for much longer, which means you need to hurry if you want to take advantage of this deal on a Surface Laptop 7, which brings its price down to the same level as the Surface Laptop 13-inch currently. It's a $200 discount, bringing it down from $999 to $799 at Amazon, right alongside its currently on sale midrange sibling at Best Buy.
Microsoft's flagship Surface Laptop 7 is still the latest in the lineup, and we've called it the best laptop, period. With a Snapdragon X Plus, 16GB RAM, and 120Hz touchscreen, you can't go wrong with this incredible Windows PC, especially for $799.
It's been a little while since we last saw a good deal on the Surface Laptop 7. This one that brings it down to the same price as Microsoft's midrange alternative makes it a no-brainer, with a 20% saving on what we described in our review to be "the best laptop. Period."
And if you're part of the crowd with a PC running Windows 10, which is coming to an end (EOL), this is also a worthy contender that will last you many years to come.
On the inside, the Surface Laptop 7 is powered by a Snapdragon X Plus (10 core) with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD storage. Luckily, that SSD storage is easily upgradable, with a removable M.2 slot on the inside of the device that can be user-removable and upgraded if needed.
The Surface Laptop 7 is Microsoft's flagship laptop, besting the midrange Surface Laptop 13-inch in a number of ways. It has a larger 13.8-inch screen, which also has a higher resolution and a higher refresh rate of 120Hz, which makes using Windows and scrolling webpages feel buttery smooth, unlike the currently same-priced midrange version.
It doesn't end there, either. The flagship Surface Laptop 7 also has Windows Hello face unlock, which is a faster and more secure method of biometric authentication that makes logging into your PC so much faster than the fingerprint reader on the 13-inch Surface Laptop. The Surface Laptop 7 also has a haptic touchpad, which just feels better to use.
Because of that, Snapdragon X Plus is also a laptop that will last you all day. It has one of the best battery lives we've tested here at Windows Central, which means it'll serve you well for years to come.
