A year later, here's why I keep coming back to the Surface Laptop (especially at this price)

Microsoft's Surface Laptop impresses with a sleek form factor and marathon battery. Right now, both the 13-inch and 15-inch are on sale for Black Friday.

• The 2024 Microsoft Surface Pro Laptop is on sale, starting at $1,190.
• It's a well-designed Copilot+ PC with a lightweight, stylish form factor and a marathon battery life.
• It might be lacking in port selection for some users, and an OLED option would have made it a little more premium.
