You should try the low power mode on the modern Macs it is amazing, all the battery numbers people quote are in regular power mode! switching to low power mode tends to have a 20% perf impact for very heavy tasks but for everything else your not going to notice! Since it basicly turns off the perfomance cores and hard down clocks the GPU you end up saving a mad amount of power without a big drop in perf.

Amazing energy! My SL3 is the best small laptop I've ever used, by far. As a regular engineer / consultant guy (doing PDF and occasional autocad) with a separate gaming desktop, I would choose this over the XPS's I've owned, or anything made of plastic that sucks air from my thighs for cooling. AND, standby has never, not once, messed up. One day with my XPS 15 and my backpack almost melted and fused to my t-shirt. If you do the office things, buy a used one, even an SL3 for much cheaper and forget about the latest tech - just pure joy in the typing, trackpad, and screen experience.

I'm whelmed by this update. Last years AMD option got three hours more battery life according to the verge, and this year they'd have 5nm and RDNA 2 IGPs. This one is still struggling to meet that last years multicore and IGP performance and just wins single core by a bit, but that's against last years AMD, again. It's also launching well into the 12th gen lifespan so even with just looking at Intel it's going to spend half the year competing with 13th gen, which hopefully fixes the efficiency. And the years old design. To me, this is the very last generation they can get away with this, hopefully they refresh to 13th gen and a full physical refresh faster. I'd give up Thunderbolt for the option for a 5nm AMD model.

The keyboard is perfect. The trackpad is great. The OLED display is gorgeous. And it comes with full size HDMI, USB A, and two USB C PD ports with USB 4 (Thunderbolt). Remind my why anyone would buy a Surface laptop? Oh, and the screen is 90hz. It even comes with 16GB of LPDDR5 standard and a 1 TB OEM Samsung 980 Pro, the fastest and most power efficient SSD on the market.

Great review but a few comments regarding the surface laptop 3 that I have been using since launch (3 years to the day). 1)You mention a thunderbolt port FINALLY being added. While that is great- I don’t think it really matters to your average user. Using the usbc port I connect to a dock that has 2 displays, a headset, charger, keyboard, and mouse. A dock is worlds cheaper than a whole new laptop. 2)personal opinion but I think the keyboard deserves more than you give it credit for 3)You mentioned we previously needed to use the MagSafe port to connect to things… I don’t think that is necessary (same logic as 1) 4)Build quality is on par with newest gen laptops. Again personal opinion but until they do a complete redesign I think the 3 is still a great option 3 years later.

I work in IT, we used to buy a lot of Surface products, but they would have tons of issues like CMOS battery would fail over time, which is normal, but you can't replace it on older Surface products, and if you use two factor authentication like DUO or RSA, then you'll have sign in issues. I've had a lot of screens that detached, and down get me started with Surface Pro screens cracking, I ended up getting screen protectors for them. The worst thing is that unless the product was under warranty, you're screwed, and all Microsoft offered was an out of warranty replacement discount. I mean sure a discount is nice, but if I spent $2000 on a laptop, I expect at a minimum to be able to go 3 years without having to replace it. I'm glad they finally made them repairable. Anyways, we just go XPS 13/15 for premium laptops now, and they are far superior IMO.

If you're having trouble with windows standby you can configure it to be way more aggressive. I think this forces s3, but I don't quite remember.

Why is this not the default behavior? I have no idea. But maybe that was a separate issue from what you're having. You may be having the fabled driver issues with the s1 sleep state. Actually fixing that requires hardware/firmware changes from what I understand. Maybe you can force a lower state like s3? S3 isn't the "instant resume" like s1 is though. However, I honestly have no idea because my portable machines are all macbooks since 2020 due to the insane battery life they offer.

They're not the same units lol, watt-hours is (watt * hour), while watt-per-hour is (watt / hour). Watt-hours is actually a unit of energy that is time-independent, the time dimension in "hour" is canceled by the per-time dimension in "watt". The reason they use watt-hours instead of joules is because they think people are more familiar with watts and hours. Watt-hours and Joules are dimensionally the same.

i have the laptop 3 and dont have any major complaints with it apart from the lack of i/o and the battery life has dropped a lot since it was brand new (my phone is of similar age and its battery is nearly as good now as it was new). id like to see them do something more with the surface laptop. dont care about bezels or changing the look of it, thats all fine the way it is. give us more i/o without the need for adapters and give us a 120hz screen. the old 9th gen i5 in my laptop 3 still does everything youd expect a 13" laptop to do.

At this rate why not get Framework, they have about the same price, same performance and plus you can actually fix it yourself with standard parts
@VuLamDang Рік тому
I took that back, Framework have BETTER performance, so there we go...

So for the Peak brightness, 1600 nits on the Macbook Pro is only achieved when displaying HDR content, this requires a software trigger to allow the display to output above 400 nits. There's an app called Vivid that will trigger HDR brightness on SDR content. - This doesn't damage the display as Vivid uses Apple Official HDR SDK - The color remains accurate - full control of up to 1000nits sustain.

Giving the charger a secondary use so it doesn't feel like you're carrying so much dead weight is honestly a pretty cool touch.

I just purchased the i7 / 16gb / 512gb black 15 inch surface laptop for my wife. That did come in the fancy packaging. So far very impressed. I may consider a Surface for myself when my latest ThinkPad needs replacing.
@ame7165 Рік тому
the max peak brightness in apple products is only hit when in direct sunlight. there's the max you can set with the slider (which is already eye-searing and among the brightest), and then there's the ambient light sensor detecting direct sunlight, where it makes it go quite a bit brighter to make it actually usable outside. likely drains the battery quickly but that's what you gotta do if you want to use a glossy laptop outside on a sunny day lol

Seems kinda weird that it still comes with a 720p webcam when even the Surface Go tablets have 1080p. I like that it still has the USB-A after Surface Pro and Surface Laptop Studio were USB-C only. Still kinda feeling like they need to figure out if they want to push touch screen Windows laptops to professionals or compete with Apple on the "sleek looks, minimal I/O" front, seems like trying to do both is hard and might make products harder to sell.

I always look the tests up. Than I go to the store and well I always end up with a ThinkPad. No matter how hard dell or whatever gets promoted. So I am looking forward to test that. But I doubt it.

Yeah, I imagine these are fine for gaming. When my switch was getting warrantied I installed steam on my 3rd gen Ryzen 3 laptop. I was amazed, it runs virtually anything indie to circa 2019 AAA without any problems. Granted I have no problem targeting 30 FPS for demanding open world titles. 4K on pixel art titles makes up for it.

Ever had battery degredation issue over time with Surface laptops? I have the Surface Pro 6 for a couple of years now and it could not even last longer than 3 hours vs the 8-9 hours it could hold during the first year.

@hassanmoosa9986 6 місяців тому
Is the keyboard flex better because you have the metal top? I would choose alcantara everytime over metal. I've been using the surface laptop 2 for almost 5 YEARS and its only started failing this year, best purchase ever. I love the keyboard because of the alcantara handrest and the smooth edge but noticed that your review of laptop 4 said its got too much flex. Is it a noticeable difference and does 5 make it better? (I dont really care that much about thunderbolt, the keyboard is the most important)

I have one (13.5" - i7 - 16gb) so I'd add to this review that the brightness don't go low enough (I had a surface book 1 before). I don't know if it can get fixed with software, but it would be really cool if it is possible to lower the backlight more than stock for when watching movies in bed..... I really miss my surface book screen for the moment because of that. Gaming, It can run GTA5 pretty well at 900p on High. It gets very hot while doing it though... lightroom exports are pretty slow, too. The battery life is quite bad (I get around 4-5 hours of normal web browsing and youtube). and battery management has a lot to be fixed (smart charging is automated only, and take about 3 days plugged in to kick in after using the laptop on battery for just a few hours - microsoft, make 'smart charging' manually activated!).

I think Microsoft could have made this more like a Lenovo Yoga for a different kind of 2-in-1 approach without compromising it as a laptop. At this point, why not add a 360° hinge?

Intel chips are the battery killer and deal breaker for these Surface laptops. I hope / wish in a few years MSFT starts building custom ARM chips like AAPL and ditch Intel chips.
@hishnash Рік тому
MS do not have the single minded vision or willingness to commit to such a transition. Apple is one of the few companies that is willing to work on ideas for 10+ years internal spending billions before shipping them. MS have attempted arm multiple times but they never wait until they are ready they always get pushed by the C-leves to ships before its ready since they cant justify having a 10+ year project without any return on investment.
@hishnash Рік тому
@Goat they could build silicon but that would require a massive investment for many many years before selling anything and MS is not willing to put that amount of R&D into a single project
@hishnash Рік тому
@Goat these days they are premeraly a services/hosting company and that is the direction they want to go in but I get your point any HW they design themselves will be exclusive to Azure and not sold to consumers as HW you put in azure you can charge for hourly so has much more $$$ to be made.

Microsoft and specifically Surface keyboards are, no joke, some of the best on the market. I'm still using the Type Cover 4 as my personal daily driver and the Designer Bluetooth Compact Keyboard for work. They are joys to type on, and I'm talking like several thousand words at a stretch. They hold up so good, too - the Type Cover is now like 7 years old and has only just started to wear.

I just got two of the 13 and a go3 for testing at work my go to test was playing 7 days to die it was about 28 frames I wanted an amd chip instantly. Microsoft said maybe 6th gen as a business machine Its solid I would echo Alex's review but my pet peeve is there are two keyboard options a standard plastic and a felt like palm rest . I can see the felt one being covered in coffee stains
