Need a good laptop for gaming and school?

You’re likely splitting your time between your home life and your classes. You may want to get out of your dorm room and study with friends or at the library, play music on the quad, or game on the go. Surface Laptops are an excellent choice for a laptop that’s good for gaming and schoolwork.

Surface Laptops are ultraportable to fit in almost any bookbag, along with long battery life¹ to go where you go. And, Snapdragon Sound™ enables lossless, high-fidelity sound quality, so you and your friends can throw an impromptu dance party no matter where you are.

Surface Laptops also come with graphics powered by the Qualcomm Adreno GPU, making Surface ideal for gaming and streaming.

Taking notes and playing games is easier than ever

The great thing about 2‑in‑1 laptops, like Surface Pro 2-in-1s, is that they’re the best of both worlds: convert to a powerful laptop by attaching a Surface Pro keyboard² for intensive study or detach the keyboard to transform Surface Pro into a portable tablet for note-taking and sketching on the go.

Like Surface Laptop, Surface Pro is powered by Snapdragon X Elite and Plus processors with an AI‑powered NPU to make Surface Pro as powerful as it is portable. Your gaming requirements are supported wherever you play. With 2‑in‑1 versatility, Surface Pro works like a laptop and plays like a tablet.

Surface Pro 2-in-1s are also stylus-enabled, so, when a great idea hits, you can begin sketching and jotting down notes right on the Surface Pro touchscreen. Just grab a Surface Slim Pen²,³ and handwrite and draw with a pen-on-paper feeling. Thanks to its exceptional accuracy and pressure sensitivity, Surface Slim Pen lets unleash your imagination.

No matter what your major, taking notes and making sketches is a cinch on a Surface Pro 2-in-1. When you finish your schoolwork, you can play some of your favorite games on Surface Pro too.

For the desktop gamer who also wants it all

Pair your Surface Copilot+ PC with a large external monitor and accessories for desktop‑style gaming and schoolwork. Elevate your workspace further with a Surface Thunderbolt 4 Dock²,which lets you connect your Surface to up to two 4K monitors while delivering ultra‑fast data transfer and plenty of ports to power your webcam, phone, and other essentials.
