### Design & Ergonomics

1. **Compactness and lightness.
   By reducing the display diagonal to 13″, Microsoft has also reduced the overall size of the device, making it more portable.
2. **Materials and build.**
   The case is made of a durable aluminum alloy, and the case is available in several signature colors.
3. **Keyboard and touchpad.**
   Full-size keyboard with extended key travel (1.5mm) and Precision glass touchpad.

---

### Screen

- **Resolution and color reproduction.** Full HD is suitable for office tasks and web surfing, but the lack of HDR and limited 60Hz frequency may not satisfy demanding multimedia users.
- Image quality.** The screen offers up to 400 nits of brightness and good contrast, but viewing angles and color gamut remain average.

---

### Performance and AI capabilities

- **ARM architecture.** The Snapdragon X Plus processor is optimized for power efficiency and AI tasks such as accelerated speech recognition and local AI assistant.
* **Limitations.** For heavy tasks such as video rendering or 3D modeling, ARM chips are still inferior to classic x86 processors.

---

### Battery life and charging

- **Battery life:** up to 16 hours of web surfing - one of the best for ultraportable laptops.
- **Charging:** via USB-C (up to 65W PD). The lack of Surface Connect simplifies cable unification, but removes the proprietary fast magnet.

---

### Biometrics and security

- **Fingerprint scanner** embedded in the power button - a reliable and fast alternative to facial recognition.
- **No Face ID.** No Windows Hello Face reduces unlock speed but simplifies design.

---

### Price and availability

- ** Base version (16GB + 256GB):** $899
- ** Top version (16GB + 512GB):** $999.
- **Start Date:** May 20, 2025

---

### Expert Opinion

> **Igor Smirnov**, independent notebook analyst:
> "Surface Laptop on ARM chip is a step into the future of mobile AI devices. But for now, x86 performance remains beyond competition in heavy tasks. The Surface Laptop with ARM chip is a step towards the future of mobile AI devices.

> **Ekaterina Volkova**, TechReview reviewer:
> "The reduced 13-inch display and the rejection of Surface Connect raise questions among fans of the lineup. But the build quality and long battery life remain strong advantages."

---

### Conclusion

The next-generation Surface Laptop combines the innovations of the ARM processor and Microsoft's signature design to offer a high level of autonomy and basic AI capabilities. However, the compromises of not having an HDR screen, Surface Connect, and facial recognition make it a model primarily for office and casual tasks.


# Trump administration imposes 104% tariff on Chinese goods

**US ramps up trade pressure on China.  The Donald Trump administration has announced additional tariffs of 50%, bringing the total tariff to 104%.**
![Tramp](https://ik.imagekit.io/kdlvbteac/2009955339_0_126_2149_1335_1920x0_80_0_0_398082c3e7a35b58ecb3f256534761c6.jpg.webp?updatedAt=1744181060516)
As reported by [**CNBC**](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/08/trump-tariffs-live-updates-stock-market-china.html), citing a White House statement, the new measure was **a response to China's decision to maintain mirror tariffs** on American  products, including a 34% duty.

## What happened?

- The US imposed an **additional 50% duty** on imports from China.
- The combined rate is now **104%** (34% + 20% + 50%).
- The reason is **mirror measures by China** after Trump's announcement of "reciprocal tariffs".
- China, in response, imposed its own duties on **34% of American goods**.

## The White House's position

The Trump administration believes that the duties are part of a strategy:

- **Equalize the terms of trade** with international partners;
- **Bring jobs back** to the US;
- **Change the tax structure**, which, according to Trump, works against the interests of the American economy.

## The opinion of critics

Wall Street experts warn: such measures could **hurt American consumers and businesses**.  Rising costs and trade uncertainty pose risks for companies, especially in the context of global inflation.

## How are companies responding?

According to **Bloomberg**, Apple does not rule out **price increases**, but will try to **avoid higher costs for consumers**, despite the possible impact of tariffs.
