Microsoft’s ‘Smurface Version’ laptop computer is actual, however it’s not very blue

Microsoft is not sometimes recognized for releasing limited-edition Surface products, however the tech large appears to have made an exception for the Smurfs.

Just lately, the tech large quietly launched a limited-edition Surface Laptop referred to as the “Smurface Version,” which incorporates a blue Home windows brand and a few Smurfs laser-etched onto the lid. The collaboration is meant to have fun the new Smurfs movie, which launched in theaters earlier this month.

I am not a Smurfs skilled, however it seems that the Smurface Version has Brainy Smurf, Hefty Smurf, Smurfette, and a few fuzzy-looking creature on it. The laptop computer is accessible for $1,000 solely on Amazon and is reportedly restricted to just one,000 items.

5 hardware upgrades I want to see in Microsoft’s next Surface tablet

I am an enormous fan of Microsoft’s new 12-inch Floor Professional mannequin, however there’s all the time room for enchancment. Listed here are 5 issues at present on my wishlist.

The Smurface Version is not precisely groundbreaking

The place’s the restricted version Grasp Chief Floor Laptop computer?

Below the hood, Microsoft’s particular Smurface Version laptop computer is identical as the usual 13-inch Floor Laptop computer, which launched in Might. It incorporates a 13-inch touchscreen show, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and a Snapdragon X Plus processor.

My greatest grievance with this laptop computer is that Microsoft did not totally commit to creating the complete machine blue. Once you consider Smurfs, you consider the colour blue. A limited-edition blue Floor Laptop computer would’ve been good to see, however as a substitute, Microsoft simply added blue to the Home windows brand, etched some Smurfs, and referred to as it a day.

I am going to give them credit score for the Smurface Version identify — that is fairly humorous. Nonetheless, so far as restricted editions go, this one feels fairly lackluster. Additionally, out of all of the collaborations Microsoft might’ve achieved for its Floor laptop computer, it selected the Smurfs?

I like the thought of Microsoft doing limited-edition Floor collaborations, however possibly it ought to increase the bar a bit. The place’s the restricted version Halo Floor Laptop computer? You already know, the franchise Microsoft really owns? Slap Grasp Chief on it and provides it a pleasant inexperienced shade, and now we’re speaking. They may even name it the Floor 117. You are welcome, Microsoft.

Nonetheless, if Smurfs are your factor, I respect that. The Smurface Version laptop computer is accessible on Amazon now for $1,000. Since just one,000 items can be found, it won’t be round for lengthy as soon as the Smurf fan neighborhood catches on.
