Although the capacity of the built-in SSD is quite small, the disk can be exchanged for a larger model at any time. But be careful: you will lose your guarantee. So it is best to start the exchange only after this has expired.
Another drawback is the somewhat tight working memory, which cannot be upgraded. Fortunately, 8 GB is sufficient for office work. The Surface Laptop offers a colorful, high-resolution display and a of the best keyboards for lightweight Windows laptops. The battery life should also be quite generous. Microsoft itself specifies around 11.5 hours – that should be sufficient even for a longer working day. If you need even more USB ports, you should get a suitable adapter.
