Note:  Additional information regarding Surface Laptop 6 vs Surface Laptop 7

• The primary difference between Surface Laptop 6 and Surface Laptop 7th Edition is the processor used to power the computer.

• The Surface Laptop 6 is powered by Intel chipsets, which generally results in better compatibility with software and ample general processing power.

• The Surface Laptop 7 is powered by a Snapdragon chip, which tends to handle high demand graphics better and reportedly has a battery life of up to 20 hours (compared to 12 on the intel devices). The Snapdragon chip is relatively knew so there may be some compatibility issues with software as developers release updates to optimise the experience.

• The Surface Laptop Go 3 is a smaller, less powerful, but budget friendly device that is also powered by the intel chipset.
