What gives the Surface Laptop 4 an edge over the MacBook Air is the touch-enabled screen. But that's because the white balance is warm or neutral whereas the MacBook Air has a crisp, sheet-of-paper tone. Interestingly, colors looked more saturated on the Surface Laptop 4 when I viewed these two screens side-by-side. Peaking at 366 nits of brightness, the MacBook Air narrowly outshone the Surface Laptop 4 (349 nits) although, once again, both panels fell short of the 389 nits average. Both fell short of the 84% category average. With that out of the way, the MacBook Air regains some ground by covering 81% of the DCI-P3 color gamut whereas the Surface Laptop 4 reached only 77%. The notch on the front edge is a nice touch and the top-firing speakers are preferred to down-firing ones. It remains a remarkably slim and lightweight laptop and the unibody aluminum chassis was built with precision craftsmanship. It has the same slim wedge-shaped design as before, available in traditional Gold, Space Gray and Silver color options.
