The power port itself is magnetic, so you won’t have to worry about breaking the power cord or ripping the laptop off the table should you trip on it. There’s an extra USB port on the power brick if you want to charge your phone. You will definitely need a dongle or docking station if you’re a peripherals enthusiast, but at least you can choose whether you want to use USB-C or the older USB-A. Port-wise, there’s one USB-C port, one USB-A port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The Surface Laptop 4 also has all the same ports and power adapter as its previous generation. Overall, it’s very similar to the Surface Laptop 3. The lid opens easily, and the wrist rest gently slopes to help you avoid pressing the laptop’s bottom edge into your arms (a problem MacBooks still have). It feels very solid and durable, and it’s comfortable to use. The Surface Laptop 4’s keyboard area can be outfitted with a silky Alcantara finish, or a classic aluminum finish to match the rest of the elegant body. The Surface Laptop 4 has one USB-A port, one USB-C port, and one headphone/microphone jack.Įverything about this laptop was carefully laid out.
