Foreigners complain about the biggest flaw of Surface Laptop: no USB-C

Microsoft released the Surface Laptop notebook equipped with Windows 10 S system yesterday, claiming that it is designed specifically for the education market.

Although it no longer follows the Pro/Book design of a detachable keyboard and returns to the traditional laptop style, its hardware parameters are so strong that the price is still very low for students. The i5 7200U+4GB+128G costs US$999.

However, both the comments from netizens on our site and the professional editors of foreign media BGR pointed out directly that the Laptop has a fatal flaw at such a high price, which is that it does not have a USB-C port.

The new Surface Laptop only has a magnetic charging port, USB-A, miniDisplayPort and headset on the side, and does not support USB-C Thunderbolt 3, which is very different from the MacBook.

Although the development of USB-C is still slow, we can already see that it will be the trend of the future.

Author Chris Mills sarcastically said that Microsoft said that Surface Laptop helps students improve and can be used until graduation, but the reality is that these users are definitely behind in technological thinking, because they have to make friends with the old USB-A for four years. They have to buy a bunch of mobile hard drives, charging cables, USB hubs with old interfaces, etc., and then find out after graduation that they have been left behind by the times.
