Pick the Surface Laptop 7 (15) if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. Its strongest claims are refresh rate, claimed battery life, screen size, among others. The single most decisive one: Refresh rate — 100.00% more. 120 Hz vs 60 Hz.
