I was slightly irked by the letterboxing that flanked the video (YouTube’s standard aspect ratio is 16:9), but it’s a minor nuisance. I watched the Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania trailer on the Surface Laptop 5. The Surface Laptop 5’s panel responded quickly to my taps and swipes, including pinching for zooming and three-fingered swipes to reveal the desktop. The Surface Laptop 5 features a touch display, so you’ll have the opportunity to free yourself from the confines of your keyboard and utilize your favorite touch gestures on the screen. If I saw this laptop sitting on someone’s desk, I’d snobbily assume that it’s several years old, but nope, this is a 2022 laptop. I’m also pleased to see that Microsoft retained the 3:2 aspect ratio on its new-gen laptop.Īs mentioned, I hate the thick bezels. The panel is a 15-inch, PixelSense display with a 2,496 x 1,664-pixel resolution, a step up from the Surface Laptop 4’s 2,256 x 1,504-pixel display. The Surface Laptop 5’s display spaciousness is the shining star of the laptop - there’s plenty of screen real estate to enjoy. If the Surface Laptop 5’s connectivity options come up short for you, consider getting a reliable docking station or USB-C hub. On the right side, you’ll find a Surface Connect port.

On the left side, you’ll find a USB 3.1 Type-A port, a USB-C port with USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 support (finally), and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 (Image credit: Future)
