And rather than addressing the original Surface Laptop’s key mistake-it’s lackluster expansion capabilities-Microsoft has instead called a mulligan. There’s no need to mess with success.īut there is a need to mess with distress. After all, the first one was iconic in its own derivative way-sort of the Whopper to MacBook Air’s Big Mac, if you will-and might even be considered timeless in its own right. So it’s not reasonable to expect-or even want-Surface Laptop 2 to feature a new design. Surface Laptop 2 arrives less than a year and a half after the original Surface Laptop, and given the sometimes glacial pacing over in Redmond, that’s a blink of an eye. This is a PC that is greater than the sum of its parts. And while those who get a bit too caught up in specifications-or “speeds and feeds,” as industry wonks call it-will always miss the point, those who have actually experienced Surface Laptop get it. There has always been something special about Surface Laptop, something that is easier to feel than explain. And was it released with dual-core processor choices just three months before Intel upgraded the world by moving to quad-cores across the board in its mainstream U-series processors. The original Surface Laptop was the wrong product at the wrong time: It was a me-too product with out-of-date and limited expansion capabilities that was further burdened by the terrible Windows 10 S.
