The 15-inch is 320g heavier at 1.66 kg vs 1.34 kg. Still lighter than many competitors at either size.

When to Buy

Choose the 13-inch model if:

• Portability is critical (1.34 kg)
• You want more storage (512 GB)
• You prefer a smaller, more focused workspace

Choose the 15-inch model if:

• You want maximum screen real estate
• Longer battery life matters (22 vs 20 hours)
• You prefer the faster Snapdragon X Elite processor

---

Verdict

The 13-inch Surface Laptop offers better value with double storage for SGD 90 less. The 15-inch model justifies its premium with a larger display, faster processor, and longer battery — but the storage trade-off is puzzling.
