yes, recall is so cool capturing the screen all the time. So just picture yourself opening your banking apps, and it takes a capture. Then a flaw, or bug, allows someone to access the details in the NPU and transfer that detail out without you knowing. And don't pretend that can't happen with security, we've seen tonnes recently of CVE issues similar.

[@earthtaurus5515]

@GarrusVakarian-to2uh Zac did say it takes a snapshot of the screen and that is later analysed by the NPU. So @summoner2100 does have a valid point and I agree that needs to be checks. The only work around I can see is that banking apps are excluded once downloaded from the store. However, this bring up another issue - having a exception list of all banking urls on device to not take snapshots of your banking information.

[@summoner2100]

@GarrusVakarian-to2uh same principle, and all it takes is slight errors in code to capture the wrong details.

I have had a 2013 Macbook Pro for awhile, but I might be switching back finally. Always used windows at work and grew up with it so more familiar with the UI. Apple won me over for personal use with its Retina screen and long battery life. Now that these devices have both, it could be time….

[@dylanchadderton1]

So i just checked the website and their wording is still "up to 14/20 hours of video playback" if you're listing those battery life specs as video playback i think you can immediately cut those numbers in half or more for real world usage. I don't doubt the battery life will be better but not nearly to the extent those numbers suggest simply due to the fact it's local video playback.

[@greensprite4979]

Will we ever see a desktop with this processor? Is it compatible with an external gpu?

[@AyaWetts]

theoretically they can make it use an external GPU... but I don't see them making a Desktop version any time soon, not until they can get a faster version out. AMD and Intel are working on specific chips for this, and are more likely to keep doing higher end machines, while ARM sticks to the slower mobile type devices for the next couple years.

[@chfgn]

I suspect we’ll see a new Surface Studio with Snapdragon at some point, but there’s not much of a market for non-upgradable desktop machines these days. Most people just buy a laptop and plug it into a monitor if they’re not kitting out a custom rig for gaming or media production.

[@JackStavris]

Guess two classic Surface Pro things came back from the past, the battery and a BT enabled Type Covers. I owned (and still have somewhere) the original Surface Power Cover for my Surface Pro 1 which was a big necessity back in the day to make the thing last more than 3 hours, and I also remember there was an add-on for a Type Cover that made it work like a BT keyboard, not sure if it ever came out but I guess we have it finally with these new ones. Also glad to see the Surface Laptop has more than one USB-C port. I/O on the Surface Laptop was always a problem and one of the reasons I don't like it. Glad to see it now has two USB-C ports and still keeps the USB-A port. USB-A ports on thin and light laptops are a dying breed so hopefully Microsoft won't touch the design again for another 7 years so we can keep the USB-A lol.

From my knowledge the tdp on the surface pros are lowered but the performance is worse only by a small bit.

[@keysemerson3771]

They finally fully modeled the Apple laps. Great job MS!

No mention of not being able to 100% turn off Copilot?

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

I'm more interested in what Dell, Asus, HP, Lenovo, Acer will show soon.

[@JiriBrejcha]

What Wi-Fi 7 chipset are they using?

[@mariussm7797]

The main problem in compatibility in gaming. Not all games work with that emulation.

[@jakez6851]

Linux on a surface laptop most definitely. 🤗

[@kosztaz87]

All I want to know is can the AI features/co-pilot be shut down completely? Basically I want to disable all that cr@p and use my laptop as before. Can that be achieved?

[@belcan65]

then buy Mac

[@ocvjw8734]

Does Snapdragon use unified memory architecture, sumilar to Apple's M-series chips?

[@TDSims20]

I wonder if the snapdragon chip will be able to compete with apples M1 chip in the real world

[@theoblongbox4909]

Something about the tallness of the surface laptops has always bothered me.

[@doughenry7287]

The Laptop can come with up to 64GB ram, not 32GB (although it may be pre order only the MS site says)

Stop using Windows and start using Linux. Linux golden age is coming. Too bad Microsoft will go bankrupt soon.

[@scientist30]

Really waiting for them

[@thesahilk]

What I want to know is how well windows x86 apps work on the Arm snapdragon chips

[@joshuahernandez-th6ov]

I wish the new surface pro would have a keyboard and pen at $1399.

[@Abarenboshogun000]

Recall is gonna make hiding korn a lot harder.

[@nav579]

$350 keyboard - omg - that's absolutely insane.
