Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 15 Snapdragon laptop review: Finally easier to repair

Now with improved serviceability.

The latest Surface Laptop 7 addresses some longstanding issues with the series in regards to sustainability and repairability. For around $1500 USD, however, the price is arguably too steep for an ARM-based Windows PC.

Verdict — Windows ARM Is Great, But It's Not For Everyone

Users with very specific usage scenarios and ARM-optimized applications will find the Surface Laptop 7 15 to be quieter, longer-lasting, and much more power efficient than AMD alternatives and most Intel options currently in the market. The Snapdragon-based Microsoft PC shines when such conditions are met where programs don't need to be emulated. Otherwise, the system isn't any faster than traditional x86 laptops costing half the price.

As for the hardware itself, the Surface Laptop 7 15 offers both an impressive IPS display and better repairability than before. However, the very warm core temperatures, weak hinges, and lack of a webcam shutter prove that the overall design could use an overhaul to better compete against tenured flagship options from Lenovo, HP, and other big manufacturers. Laptops running on Intel Lunar Lake or newer are also beginning to offer similar performance-per-watt and battery life advantages as Snapdragon without the emulation or compatibility headaches typically associated with Windows on ARM. From this perspective, the Surface Laptop 7 15 is arguably not very compelling for most users considering the high starting price.

Pros

+ good performance for native ARM applications
+ one of the quietest Surface models
+ sharp IPS display and sRGB colors
+ improved repairability
+ excellent battery life

Cons

- slow-to-average performance if emulation is required
- slow black-white and gray-gray response times
- meager 2 MP webcam with no privacy shutter
- very warm core temperatures under load
- no DCI-P3 or AdobeRGB modes

Microsoft are championing Qualcomm hard as evident by their Snapdragon push in premier devices and features like the Surface series and Co-Pilot Plus, respectively. The latest device is the 2024 Surface Laptop 7 15 which launched alongside the smaller Surface Laptop 7 13.8 late last year. Much like its smaller 13.8-inch sibling, it ships with similar hardware features but in a larger 15-inch form factor.

Our test unit is lower-end configuration with 256 GB SSD and 16 GB of RAM for approximately $1400 USD. Current configurations differ only in color, storage, and RAM as the Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100 processor and 2496 x 1664 IPS touchscreen are constant across the lineup.

Alternatives to the Surface Laptop 7 15 include other flagship business/multimedia laptops like the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 15ILL9 Aura, Asus VivoBook S 15, HP Elite series, or the Dell XPS 15 series.

Case — Same Design, Friendlier To Service

The Surface series has become recognizable for its bright matte gray metal design and the trend continues with the ARM-based models. Unfortunately, this also means that the Surface Laptop 7 15 suffers from some of the same problems we noted on earlier models including the limited maximum lid angle of ~135 degrees, relatively weak hinges, and a tendency to creak when being handled. It arguably doesn't feel as sturdy as some other popular office laptops like the ThinkPad X1 or HP EliteBook series despite the attractive design.

Length and width are both smaller than the older 2023 Surface Laptop 5 15 while both thickness and weight are actually greater this time around. The weight gain can be partially attributed to the larger battery size and easier serviceability, but overall portability isn't noticeably better or worse than previous generation models. Much lighter options exist including the LG Gram SuperSlim 15 which comes in at under 1 kg in comparison.

Connectivity

Port options are identical to the 13.8-inch Surface Laptop 7 plus a MicroSD reader. This is a bit disappointing as Microsoft could have potentially used the larger footprint for additional ports like HDMI to better compete against other 15-inch laptops like the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 15 Aura.

Webcam

Microsoft has bumped the webcam from 1 MP on the 2023 Surface Laptop 15 to 2 MP on the latest Surface Laptop 7 series. Competing laptops like the ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 or HP EliteBook Ultra come standard with 5 MP sensors for a much cleaner picture. If you plan on doing a lot of video conferencing, then there are certainly better options out there.

Worse yet, the Microsoft system integrates no camera shutter at all even though such a feature is becoming commonplace on most laptops. At least IR comes standard for Hello support.

Maintenance

Early Surface models were notorious for their poor serviceability and were rightfully slammed by users for being difficult to repair. Thankfully, the latest generation models have addressed this key issue to be much easier to service by end users. The four rubber feet on the bottom are no longer glued and can be quickly removed with a sharp edge to reveal T5 Torx screws underneath. Once inside, however, there isn't much to upgrade other than the small M.2 2242 SSD as the RAM and WLAN modules are soldered.

Sustainability

Microsoft boasts 100 percent recycled aluminum alloy and rare earth metals for building its latest Surface Laptop lineup, 78 percent reduced carbon emissions when compared to manufacturing the same products with no sustainability efforts, and increased carbon pollution-free electricity (CFE) from many of its suppliers. The packaging itself is also paper and cardboard with no signs of plastic.

Accessories And Warranty

There are no extras in the box other than the AC adapter and small paperwork. The usual one-year limited manufacturer warranty applies if purchased in the US.

Input Devices — Same keys, New Font

Keyboard

Surface Laptop keyboards change very little year-to-year and so the typing experience should be familiar to owners of previous generation models. With that said, the keys do feel a bit firmer than on older models for slightly crisper or sharper feedback when pressed. The key caps are also slightly darker in color and with larger font sizes which contrast better against the bright silver chassis.

Touchpad

Clickpad size (12 x 8 cm) is the same as on the smaller 13.8-inch Surface Laptop 7 despite our larger 15-inch screen size. Haptic feedback is again accomplished via vibration instead of physical clicks to be noise-free. On the flip side, feedback is nowhere near as strong or satisfying as traditional mouse keys like the ones on the ThinkPad T series.

Display — 120 Hz IPS With HDR

The Surface Laptop series has always deployed high quality displays albeit with a very limited selection. For example, models do not typically offer multiple options should buyers want OLED instead of IPS or higher or lower resolutions. For our Snapdragon model, the Sharp LQ150P1JX61 touchscreen panel is an updated version of the Sharp LQ150P1JX51 panel on the 2023 Surface Laptop 5 with a higher native refresh rate (120 Hz vs. 60 Hz), brighter backlight (~550 nits vs. ~400 nits), and support for both HDR and Windows DRR down to 60 Hz. Contrast ratio is also quite high for an IPS panel at more than 1500:1 whereas most others are typically less than 1000:1.

Unfortunately, the display falls short when it comes to black-white response times and color coverage. The former means more noticeable ghosting during use while the latter is limited to sRGB mode. Microsoft advertises a "vivid" color profile, but the quality or depth of colors barely change in our tests. The imperfect black levels and narrower color space make for an inferior HDR experience when compared to competitors with OLED such as the VivoBook S 15.

* ... smaller is better

Units are individually calibrated and this shows in our X-Rite colorimeter results below. Average deltaE values against the sRGB standard are already quite low out of the box at just 1.4 and 0.96 for grayscale and colors, respectively, to suggest that an end-user calibration is generally not required. Results barely change when switching the color profile from sRGB to Vivid.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
30.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 15.9 ms rise
↘ 14.4 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 81 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (20.5 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
44.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 21.3 ms rise
↘ 23.1 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 74 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (32.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8356 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Outdoor visibility is better than older models due to the brighter backlight, but glare is still present nonetheless. You'll want to avoid working under direct sunlight or bright overcast to keep the screen legible.

Performance — Ranges From Good To Great

 

Testing Conditions

We set Windows to Best Performance mode prior to running the benchmarks below. Annoyingly, the usual Quiet, Balanced, and Performance power profiles have been changed to Recommended, Better Performance, and best Performance, respectively.

Processor

Processor performance can vary wildly as it is highly dependent on the application unlike with traditional CPUs from Intel or AMD. If the program must be emulated, then raw multi-thread performance isn't all that much better than the older Core i7-1255U or Ryzen 7 7730U. If the program supports ARM natively, then raw performance can blow past the new Core Ultra 7 256V by up to 1.5x to be competitive against the Ryzen AI 9 365.

Performance sustainability could be improved which isn't surprising given our core temperature findings in the Stress Test section below. When running CineBench R15 xT repeatedly, for example, performance would drop by 15 percent after just the first loop.

The model ships with the exact same 12-core Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100 processor as found on the smaller 13.8-inch Surface Laptop 7. There is no slower 10-core option unlike on the 13.8-inch version.

Stress Test

System idle
System idle

Core temperatures when running demanding loads are warmer than we would like. When running Cyberpunk 2077, for example, the CPU would stabilize at 86 C and 94 C on Better Performance and Best Performance modes, respectively, which leaves very little overhead in case of throttling. The CPU also appears to downclock more dynamically to as low as 2.3 GHz when set to Better Performance mode instead of Best Performance mode. In comparison, repeating this same test on the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 15 Aura would result in a significantly cooler core temperature of just 66 C.

When running Prime95 stress on Best Performance mode, the CPU would stabilize at 3.4 GHz and at a very high core temperature of 95 C to be much warmer than most competing office laptops.

DPC Latency

While LatencyMon is incompatible with the system, we can at least check for 4K60 playback to see how smoothly it can run on our ARM machine. Unfortunately, we're able to record 3 dropped frames within a 60-second timeframe even after multiple retests. The dropped frames are thankfully low enough to be essentially unnoticeable, but they should ideally be zero nonetheless.

Storage Devices

Our unit ships with a short Samsung M.2 2242 SSD just like on the smaller 13.8-inch Surface Laptop 7. Transfer rates are only half of what the larger Samsung PM9A1 can offer at around 3600 MB/s, but performance is at least consistent with no notable throttling issues detected.

GPU Performance

The integrated SD X Adreno X1-85 GPU is a mixed bag yet again depending on the application. If running emulated software, graphics performance becomes roughly comparable to the aging Iris Xe Graphics G7 96 EUs. If running native software, however, 3DMark Wild Life Extreme predicts a performance level approaching the Radeon 780M or 880M series to be one of the faster integrated solutions on paper.

Gaming Performance

The Surface series was not designed for gamers and this is even more true for our ARM model. Not only do certain games like Far Cry 5 fail to launch, most are barely playable at the lowest 1080p settings or even 720p for more demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077.

Emissions — One Of The Quieter Surface Options

System Noise

The fan is both quieter and more lethargic than on the older 2023 Intel model meaning that it takes longer for it to ramp up in RPM when running demanding loads. For example, noise levels would barely reach 26 dB(A) when running the first benchmark scene of 3DMark 06 while the 2023 Surface Laptop 5 15 would reach 35 dB(A) when running the same test. Subjectively, the fan is almost unnoticeable for day-to-day loads when in a typical office environment.

We're able to record a maximum noise level of just over 33 dB(A) which is significantly quieter than most other 15-inch laptops including the Vivobook S 15 OLED which ships with a slower Snapdragon processor.

Temperature

Surface temperatures can be quite warm due to the metal construction and lack of any ventilation grilles along the bottom cover. Hot spots when running demanding loads can reach over 40 C and 37 C on the keyboard center and bottom, respectively, compared to 41 C to 47 C on the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 15. The warmth of the palm rests is noticeable during use but not enough to be uncomfortable or distracting as the hot spots are generally toward the rear of the unit instead.

Energy Management — ARM Efficiency

Power Consumption

The Surface Laptop 7 15 ARM operates under the same power envelope as the older Surface Laptop 5 15 for superior performance-per-watt especially when running ARM-native applications. Multi-thread performance, for example, can be more than 2.5x faster than the Core i7-1255U while consuming just a few watts more. Our system is also notably more efficient than the Zen 5-powered ThinkBook 16 G7+, but the Yoga Slim 7 15ILL9 Aura with the latest Core Ultra 7 256V is much more competitive against our Snapdragon in terms of performance-per-watt.

We're able to record a maximum draw of 65 W from the small (~9 x 5 x 2.5 cm) 65 W AC adapter when the CPU is at 100 percent utilization. However, this rate is only temporary as clock rates are automatically dialed back after just a few seconds to keep temperatures in check just like on most other laptops powered by U-series CPUs.

Battery Life

AC adapter integrates an extra USB-A port for charging other devices

The long runtime is a highlight of the model which is to be expected from an ARM-powered system. We're able to record almost 15 hours of real-world WLAN browsing to be several hours longer than on the Lenovo ThinkBook 16 G7+ or older Surface Laptop 5 15. Microsoft has also upped the battery capacity when compared to the previous generation model. Nonetheless, laptops with the latest Intel Lunar Lake CPUs like the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 15 are beginning to offer even longer battery life than many Snapdragon-powered options.

Charge rates are unfortunately slow at almost 3 hours with the included AC adapter compared to ~90 minutes on most other laptops.
