- Last seen around 380 USD (2026-05-22). It is discontinued, so prices vary with remaining stock.

- For office and web work we score it 6/10 on value and 5/10 on performance.
- How heavy is the Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 (13.5 inch, AMD Ryzen 5)?
- 1.27 kg (2.80 lb). That's light enough for daily commuting.

- A 47 Wh pack, around 10 hours real-world mixed use. We score battery 7/10.
