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.
