Microsoft's Surface Laptop 13-inch 1st Edition with Snapdragon just crashed the price party at Amazon, Best Buy, and Microsoft itself, dropping from $899.99 to a jaw-dropping $549.99. Powered by an 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus, with 16GB RAM and 256GB storage, this snappy machine brags a 12-hour battery life and a mechanical yet sadly haptic-less trackpad that still clicks like a caffeinated librarian. It sports a 1080p webcam, twin USB-C ports, a USB-A, and even a rare 3.5mm jack for wired headphone loyalists. While it struggles against Apple’s M4 MacBook Air in creative apps and gaming, lighter titles like Vampire Survivors will survive just fine, perfectly syncing with its 3:2 display and four-speaker setup that’s decent enough for streaming your existential dread away.

Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 13 gets $350 cheaper but still can’t out-sass Apple’s MacBook Air or pretend it’s your gaming rig. Snapdragon-powered and proud, but only for Vampire Survivors and sadly no vibes from the trackpad.
