Great laptop for 20 thousand! Microsoft Surface Laptop entices with beautiful design and practical display

Are you looking for an alternative to the MacBook Air? The Microsoft Surface Laptop with a Snapdragon X Plus processor offers a premium metal design, exceptional battery life, and a weight under 1.3 kg.

30 hours on a single charge

Battery life is the main advantage of this laptop. Microsoft states up to 23 hours of video playback; with normal use, it easily lasts a full workday, or even two with more moderate use. The battery has a capacity of 50 Wh and charges via USB-C – however, you must purchase a separate adapter with a minimum power of 40 W.

The Snapdragon X Plus processor (8 cores) ensures smooth operation of Windows 11 for everyday tasks – web browsing, Office, video calls, streaming. The NPU unit with 45 TOPS powers Copilot AI features. Plus 16 GB RAM and 256GB storage. However, for more demanding tasks like 4K video editing or professional graphics, look elsewhere.

Premium design, but beware of compatibility

The all-metal body weighs just 1.25 kg and feels more premium than most laptops under 25 thousand. The display has a 13″ diagonal, 1920 × 1280 px resolution (3:2 aspect ratio), and supports touch control. The 1080p webcam is among the better ones in this category.

The main catch? Windows on Arm still doesn’t have 100% compatibility with x86 applications. Most common programs work (including Office, browsers, streaming services), but specialized software may not run or will run slower via emulation. Before purchasing, verify if your applications support Arm. Also, be aware – the keyboard has an English layout. The original price was 27,399 CZK; now, with discount code ALZADNY25, you can get it for 20,549 CZK. For an ultrabook with a metal design, extreme battery life, and Windows 11, it’s a fair price – just don’t forget to buy a charger.

Have you ever considered switching from a MacBook to Windows, or vice versa?
