Today’s best Microsoft Surface Laptop 13-inch (2025) Black Friday deal
The Surface Laptop 13-inch (2025) is positioned as a Windows alternative to the MacBook Air 13-inch, and while it doesn’t quite compete with Apple‘s most popular laptop on the performance front, it still does more than enough for most people and it looks great while doing so.
Just don’t expect fantastic gaming or creative performance out of this device, as the Qualcomm chip that powers it isn’t really up to those kinds of tasks. If what you’re looking for, though, is everyday computing, schoolwork, or productivity, this laptop is more than capable of meeting those expectations, especially thanks to its 16GB memory and 512GB SSD.
