The all-new 15" Surface Laptop towers over its 13.5" sibling. It may be bigger, stronger, and come with a custom Ryzen processor, but the 13.5" model has one thing the 15" line lacks: a nice cozy bed for your palms.

Compared with the 15" 2019 MacBook Pro, some more contrasts show up: The Surface Laptop is a little thicker, with a more wedge-like profile. Both have USB ports, but the Surface trades one USB-C for a USB-A.

And as in every Surface Laptop, we find the lone proprietary Surface Connect port around the other side, which can deliver both power and high-speed data.

Convenient, worry-free magnetic charging ports used to be an Apple thing, but now Microsoft carries that torch.
