The fabric will eventually start to wear down, depending on how well you look after it, and your sweat will contribute to discoloration over time. If you buy a Surface Laptop, your palms will rest on either side of the trackpad for the better part of two or three years. Sweat may be the biggest threat of all, but it’s something we can’t prove in a day. Also: This is starting to get gross, sorry! Unlike coffee and wine, pizza left no stains at all in our test. Or buy a burgundy Surface Laptop - that’s the best color anyway.
If you notice a spill, time is your enemy. Red wine only barely managed to stain the Alcantara fabric used on the Surface Laptop, even after leaving it there for an hour (pictured in the after photo above). After an hour, we couldn’t get our coffee stain out. After a few seconds, you should be able to wipe coffee and espresso away with a wet paper towel and a cleaning solution, like glass cleaner.īut if (in some sort of Surface Laptop dystopia) you drip a little coffee on your machine and then walk away for an hour, you’re out of luck. If you wipe it away quick enough, coffee won’t stain your machine. So we bought a Surface Pro Signature Keyboard in “Two-Tone Mélange Grey” for VentureBeat’s very first stain test. Sometimes the things are stain-magnets, other times you can just wipe them clean. Others on Reddit and elsewhere have reported mixed results. Microsoft says its Alcantara keyboards are remarkably stain-resistant: Someone at the company recently recounted to me a time she spilled an entire cup of coffee on one, and then just wiped the thing off like nothing happened. But Microsoft has experimented with Alcantara fabric before, on its detachable keyboards for the Surface Pro tablet. To answer this question, we need a workaround Surface Laptops won’t ship until June 15.
If you’re used to metal machines, the Surface Laptop interior is comparatively delicate and vulnerable - even a tad cheap.īut if Microsoft’s experimental cloth notebook wooed you, should you stress about stains? Will the gadget magnetically attract spills like a white t-shirt? Then, once you get up close, it feels weird. It’s a strange move, but the Alcantara fabric successfully makes the Laptop appear luxurious from a distance.
