Surface Laptop 5 15" i7-1265U 8GB 256GB

The Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 model 1979 is a 15.0 inch touchscreen laptop powered by a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1265U processor. It comes with 8GB of memory and a 256GB SSD running Windows 11 Pro. The PixelSense display offers a 2496 x 1664 resolution with Dolby Vision support.

Suited for portable productivity

This device suits professionals and students who need a lightweight 15 inch touchscreen for multitasking across tabs and creative apps. Buyers who require more than 8GB of memory or a larger 256GB SSD for heavy local workloads should consider other configurations. The integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics limit intensive 3D or video rendering tasks.

Thunderbolt 4 connectivity on Intel Evo platform

The laptop features Thunderbolt 4 ports via its USB Type-C interface on the Intel Evo platform, enabling high-speed data transfer and external display support. It also includes two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports and a Surface Docking Connector. Note that HDMI output is not available directly on the chassis.
