If you buy through a link here, the store pays me a small commission. Your price stays exactly the same. How that works.

My short take
At 1,225 g and $1,199.99, this is the cheapest Surface Laptop. Microsoft rates it for up to 22.5 hours of local video. The 1920x1280 screen is 60 Hz, and the larger Surface models step up to 120 Hz.
