The 13-inch Surface Laptop is considered a step back because it's a more affordable, stripped-down version compared to its flagship sibling, the Surface Laptop 7. It has a lower-resolution 60Hz display, lacks facial recognition, and uses older USB 3.2 ports instead of USB4/Thunderbolt 4, making it less of a premium experience for a similar price.

The 13-inch Surface Laptop is seen as a step back due to its lower-resolution 60Hz display, downgraded USB 3.2 ports (instead of USB4), lack of face unlock, and a less powerful Snapdragon X Plus 8-core chip compared to the 13.8-inch Surface Laptop 7, despite similar pricing.
