Windows Hello

There are two cameras on the front, one is the usual front-facing camera, and the other one is the Windows Hello facial recognition camera. It recognizes your face before unlocking your laptop, making your documents, apps, and online services more secure than ever.
Lightweight
Microsoft has always been focused on building lightweight devices so that you don’t face any problem while carrying them. This laptop also weighs only around 1.28 kilograms, which is almost next to nothing for a laptop. This is perfect for people who travel a lot.

What We Don’t Like
Graphics card
This high-end laptop comes with every feature possible except for a graphics card. Every other company is providing a powerful graphics card to make the laptop more convenient and to justify the price range as well.
Conclusion
The Surface Laptop comes with a pre-installed Windows 10 64Bit operating system. It has a one year Microsoft warranty as well. The features of this laptop are pretty decent to work with except for the graphics card.
Apart from this con, everything else is of top-notch quality. If you do not wish or require a graphic card and also have the budget for this premium laptop, then go for it as you won’t be disappointed.
