Microsoft Surface Laptop 5: what we want to see

The Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 was released in April 2021, and though it’s an excellent machine in its own right, some might claim it’s more of a refresh of the Surface Laptop 3 than a new machine in its own right.

But with the Surface Laptop 5 more likely releasing sometime in 2022, it’s an opportunity for Microsoft to introduce new features and updates that would make the Laptop 5 feel like a true upgrade in its own right.

Cut to the chase

• What is it? Microsoft’s follow up to the Surface Laptop 4
• When is it out? TBD
• What will it cost? TBD, likely starting around $999 (13.5-inch) and $1,299 (15-inch)
