I recently switched from a XPS 13 with tons of issues, replaced twice, to a Surface Laptop 7 on ARM64. Absolutely no regrets, it's so much better. They really need to focus on quality control.

The problem with Surface laptops is fractional scaling of its displays. Scaling is set to 150% which causes display artifacts which some people don't notice, but others are distracted by. If you are a UI developer you want 200% scaling. 150% and 300% have display artifacts.

Isn’t it good to test your UI on different scale factors? I run several non-uniform scale factors concurrently for that exact reason.
