Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 13.5" Touch i5-8350U 8GB 128GB Win 11 Pro
Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 — 13.5-Inch PixelSense Touch, i5-8350U, Win 11 Pro
The Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 combines premium build quality with a stunning 13.5-inch PixelSense touchscreen in a slim 1.28kg chassis. Powered by an Intel Core i5-8350U (8th generation) with 8GB RAM and a 128GB SSD, it handles everything from Office productivity and video conferencing to light creative work with ease. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed with Windows Hello face sign-in for passwordless security. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty with free standard AU shipping.
Key Benefits
- 13.5-inch PixelSense touchscreen — 2256×1504 high-resolution display with Corning Gorilla Glass protection and 10-point touch support delivers a sharp, responsive canvas for productivity and content consumption
- Intel Core i5-8350U 8th generation performance — Quad-core Kaby Lake Refresh processor with Turbo Boost to 3.6 GHz confidently handles simultaneous browser tabs, Office applications, video calls, and light content creation
- Windows 11 Pro pre-installed and activated — Full business OS with BitLocker encryption, Remote Desktop, and Microsoft's modern security baseline — plus the updated interface, virtual desktops, and Snap Layouts
- Windows Hello face sign-in — Infrared camera enables instant, secure, passwordless login — a significant time-saver for users who unlock their laptop dozens of times per day
- Premium slim design at 1.28kg — Alcantara fabric keyboard deck and machined aluminium lid deliver a premium feel without the bulk; the thin profile fits in any bag for comfortable daily commuting
- 128GB SSD for fast, quiet operation — Silent solid-state storage boots Windows 11 Pro in under 15 seconds and keeps all applications responsive throughout the working day
Performance in Daily Use
The Surface Laptop 2 is a refined productivity machine. The 3:2 aspect ratio PixelSense display provides more vertical space than 16:9 alternatives — a meaningful advantage for reading long documents, coding, and scrolling through spreadsheets without constant vertical scrolling. The touch display adds useful shortcuts: scrolling web pages, zooming into documents, and navigating menus all feel natural with finger input.
The i5-8350U's quad-core architecture handles multitasking confidently. Running Teams, Chrome with 10+ tabs, and Office simultaneously produces no perceptible slowdown. The fanless-adjacent thermal design keeps the Surface Laptop 2 quiet during typical office tasks, with fan noise only noticeable during sustained CPU-intensive work.
Windows Hello face recognition is genuinely instant on this model — the infrared camera identifies and unlocks in under a second from a normal sitting position, removing the password friction that slows down device access throughout the working day.
