Microsoft\u2019s Surface lineup welcomed its newest computer, the \"Surface_Burgundy\"Surface Laptop, the company\u2019s direct answer to the MacBook<\/a>. The new flagship device for Windows 10 S was designed with college students in mind. It will sell starting at $999 (upgraded versions will costs as much as $2,199) and will begin shipping on June 15.<\/p>\n

The new device doesn\u2019t hold any records\u2014it\u2019s not the thinnest nor lightest out there, but its 0.6-inch thickness and 2.74-pound weight make it an easy burden to carry around. The Surface laptop doesn\u2019t bring any novelties either, it\u2019s a Microsoft PC with the Surface branding.<\/p>\n

The overall design makes you think more about a MacBook-style notebook rather than a Microsoft\u2019s Surface Book\u2014the screen is not detachable and the hinges are not supposed to be seen. In fact, the Surface Laptop feels to be geared toward Apple customers more than anyone else.<\/p>\n

It will be available in four colors\u2014burgundy, graphite gold, platinum and cobalt blue\u2014the burgundy and blue versions are special in a way that will immediately stand out. Out stands the cloth-like Alcantara fabric, brought from Italy and is laser cut to coat the palm rests and the space between the keys. Even though it\u2019s not more luxurious than metal, its softness and warmth look appealing. How well will it stand the test of time? Remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
