That's what's odd.. No official specs yet and it a few weeks away from shipping..

Rumor has it that the i5 is a 7200U which is another bummer..

I really don't think the question here is if the difference is noticeable or not. If you are paying a premium you would expect nothing less than the best

I think millions of current users of NVME SSDs are also paying a "premium" for numbers on paper that have zero impact on their daily computing experience. In this case, you're paying the premium for the Surface name.

It's not premium numbers on paper.. It's read world usage! Doing anything except for web browsing and very light office usage will show up with the put-put SSD's MS is using..

If people are happy with the SSD's MS is using then fine but they are pathetically slow when you consider the 256GB version is a $1300 machine...

I agree the premium you are paying, in my opinion as well, is strictly for the Surface name....

If this document is legit, then it is a 7200U

Compared to the 7300U in the new Surface Pro

That's just another bummer.... I mean the difference between the 7200U and the 7300U is only about 10% but it's the point.. MS is seriously cheaping out on EVERYTHING inside the Surface Laptop.....

I wonder why?
