Surface Laptop is a premium device aimed at students and is the first product to ship with the new Windows 10 S. This is a cut-down version of Windows 10 that exclusively runs "trusted" apps. This basically means you can only install software that is offered via the Windows Store, so you can also run converted Win32 apps. Should you need to run software that isn't offered via the Windows Store, you can upgrade the system to Windows 10 Pro. This upgrade will be free until the end of the year, after that it will remain free for educational institutions but other users will have to pay $50.
It starts shipping on June 15, 2017 with pricing starting at $999. For that price you get a model with an Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB RAM and a 128GB SSD. Color options include Burgundy, Cobalt Blue, Graphite Gold, and Platinum.
