This is a lot of bad information! 1) New refers to condition, not model. It is a 4, they just released the 6. 2) They have always had metal and alcantara options. The second option listed is a 4 with a metal surface. 3) try washing your hands
Not the latest machine, but it's quite bit better than most modern laptops in terms of build quality and screen. Essentially almost like MacBook build quality in windows
IT here, I can confirm the build quality on these things is excellent. I have deployed hundreds of these things and I can count the hardware failures on one hand. I tried deploying Lenovos recently because a client wanted to cheap out, and it did NOT go well, 20% of them had hardware issues. I convinced them to go back to Surfaces.

The Intel model runs circles around this. There's no reason to get the trashier AMD model when the former is just a few dollars more.
The only thing better in this is the battery life, but that's just adding more to an already good battery life regardless of the model.
For a few dollars more, are you referring to the Intel i5 version? The article linked below discusses the differences between the two comparable processors. I agree the i7 is a lot better but it is also 90 dollars more.

Intel has patched TigerLake processors for Downfall, so I'm not even sure it'll be running circles around this AMD Ryzen model these days.
Hmm, intriguing. But I'm always curious what's up with these "new" devices being sold by a third-party eBay seller. Maybe Microsoft is just bored with selling them so unloads a truckload to a reseller, but I worry that maybe the battery is degraded from having sat, uncharged, in the box for a few years. (Had that problem with a NOS iPhone a while back.)

This is not new. This has that fabric palm-rest that will eventually turn into mush. The new ones are all-metal.
The material is alcantara and is very durable. It's used in plenty of cars and holds up well. I know someone who's got one of the first Surface laptops and it's still good even after years of daily use.

While the 4680U was a decent CPU at the time, it's now 3 years old. If you don't need any serious computing power the build quality on these are good, but I personally wouldn't get something with such an old CPU.
