Hey, I'm Alex.
And today I've got the brand new Surface Laptop 5 from Microsoft.
So we have the platinum color here.
It's in the 13.5 inch brand new in the box.
There's four different colors with the Surface Laptop 5, you have
platinum, sandstone, matte, black, and the brand new sage color.
All of them look excellent,
incredibly stylish and just a device you're going to love to use.
So on the back, we have a few of the specs.
You can see all of the specs on this laptop here.
I believe we have the iPhone five.
Let's go ahead and open it up.
Just a little cutting tool.
And you can actually see right here, I don't even need this.
There's a little tab right here that makes it really easy to open.
So you just pull on it and let's go and open it up.
So right away you can feel the box is made out of paper.
I believe it's recycled as well, so makes it nice.
You don't have to worry about throwing away a bunch of plastic.
Let's go ahead and take the box off.

So I really like the pull tabs that I've included normally.
Have to dig your fingers in on the side.
This way it's easy just to pull and lift out.
I'll set it to the side so we can see what else
Microsoft has included in the box underneath the Surface Laptop 5.
This is where everything is hidden.
We have the manual which I'll take out and set aside
and we have the Surface charger
and that nice little pull tab.
It's easy to get out.
And then we have the charger.
You can see it's really well protected in there.
The cable to plug into the wall.
And one of my favorite neat tricks about the Surface charger,
it actually has a USB port which you can use to charge your phone,
hotspot, battery, anything you'd usually plug into a laptop.
You now have a port right there on the brick
and then the charging cable, the Surface connect port is magnetic.
It attaches to the side of the Surface.
And this built in charger, this included charger, which is 65 watts
enables fast charging out of the box so you can get up to 50%
of your battery life in just under 30 minutes.
So let's go ahead and get the laptop open.
Now, this is a Surface Laptop 5.
This the first time that I'm seeing this as well.
So it is pretty exciting to get this brand new laptop and be able to unbox it.
Let's go and open it up.
Okay. So here we have it. The Surface Laptop 5.
The first thing that you notice is just how sleek the entire package looks.
We have the Microsoft logo front and center and then on the sides
you can see we have that Surface connect port I was talking about.
Move over to the other side.
We have our thunderbolt four USB-C Type A
as well as headphone jack.
The whole thing feels really
lightweight and solid and as I'm looking at it,
you don't really see it's really minimalist.
There's, there's no exposed screws.
I mean, the venting.
Yeah, you can see the venting on the back, but as a normal user,
you would never notice this.
It just looks like an incredibly solid and sleek
laptop now because of this laptop.
This is always one of the things I look for now.
How well does it open up
with just one finger and the Surface Laptop does it with ease.
It's incredibly smooth and it's ready to go.
So right as we open it,
Windows Logo shows up
with the protective paper.
Okay, now that we have it opened up, we've got the Out-Of-Box experience.
So this would walk you through
getting set up your Microsoft account and getting started.
But let's talk about hardware.
So the first thing you see, you've got this great keyboard which spans almost
the full width of the laptop, but really unique on Surface
Laptop 5 on the 13.5 inch model, you have an Alcantara fabric base.
If you've never heard of Alcantara, you're going to find this in luxury cars,
luxury fabrics.
It is a really premium feel to this laptop.
And of course at the bottom you have a gesture enabled trackpad,
which makes it excellent to navigate within Windows 11,
which of course the Surface Laptop 5 comes with Windows 11.
Next, let's talk screen.
The first thing you're going to notice,
this PixelSense touchscreen display because yes, of course, it's touch.
It looks great.
It also has a unique aspect ratio
three by two, that means it has more vertical screen real estate,
making it easier to work on documents or just about anything side by side.
It's great for being more productive on a laptop
and a big enhancement for the Surface Laptop 5.
It now has Dolby Vision, so all of the details, colors,
they all appear even better in your video content.
And there you have it.
This is the Surface Laptop 5.
It's available in four unique colors.
We have sandstone, platinum, matte, black and the brand new sage color.
It's available in two different screen sizes the 13.5 or the larger 15 inch.
It's an elegant, ultra thin and blazing fast laptop.
This is Surface Laptop 5.
