Microsoft, what were you thinking?
Chris Griffith tests out Microsoft Surface Studio
Microsoft’s Surface Laptop has caused outrage online. Picture: Microsoft via AP
MICROSOFT’S new Surface laptop was revealed in a New York press conference, but the aftermath has not been what the company expected.
The Sun reports Microsoft confirmed that its bringing out a 13.5 inch laptop in four colours, including platinum, burgundy, cobalt blue and graphite gold.
But there’s one very strange addition to the new luxury laptops – and it’s dividing opinion on the web.
It comes with a furry-looking keyboard, which is made up of a material more typically seen in steering wheels from the 1980s.
The fabric covered keyboard deck of the Surface Laptop seems a little dodgy to me, but I bet it feels nice.

Surface Laptop 1st impressions hands-on: great screen. Keyboard feel is wonderful, though the fabric surround is unusual.

Anyone use a Surface Pro 4 daily with the Signature type cover (alcantara fabric)? Curious what the wear and tear is like with daily use

Surface Laptop. My gripes: no USB C, Alcantara gets dirty quick, and a tad overpriced. Love the build and design though. My SP4 is ❤️tho lol

Played with it more: Surface Laptop looks great, but material does feel a tad cheap. Maybe I’m just conditioned to prefer polished metal

That material keyboard of the Surface Laptop is going to wear badly. Just like the existing Surface Pro keyboards. That’s too bad.

Still on the Surface laptop, that fabric arm rest will look absolutely horrible/dirty in no time pic.twitter.com/TVzm4tmYfW

The inside of the new Surface will be covered in Alcantara suede, which is known to get seriously grubby.
Anyone who has had the pleasure of owning a car with suede interiors will know it’s insanely expensive, near impossible to clean and takes on the appearance of a filthy sandbox.
Aside from the suede feature, the laptop appears quite similar to a Macbook or Chromebook.
