[@JimmyCerra]

The Surface Connect port is a LOT better than MagSafe. I connect a dock with it; the dock further connects to a second monitor, keyboard, mouse, Ethernet, and speakers. I often connect storage to the dock too. It’s no knockoff by a long shot.

[@liamness]

I kind of wish it just had three usb-c ports though, because they can do all those things too, and then you could use the included charger with other devices like your phone. And you can just buy magnetic breakaway adapters if you really want them. And personally I think sending your laptop / tablet flying is far much less of a concern now than it was in the mid 2000s, now we have devices that charge much more quickly and have longer battery life.

[@HearMeLearn]

I wish people understood that in general the surface connector is way better than magsafe other than by recognition, and the little magnetic element to it, but people just like to suck off apple and always diminish the competition. And I say this as someone with mostly apple products, but I do have both a macbook and a gaming pc, and I used to be on an android. I switched for the apple watch tho

It like homelander and soldier boy meme. Apple Magsafe: "You're just a cheap f***ing knockoff." Microsoft magnetic connector: "Oh no, I am the upgrade."

​@@liamnessDo keep in mind that including another USB 4.0 port will slightly increase the manufacturing cost. Proprietary cables are definitely not favorable, though if done right, can make a world of a difference to the user experience. I personally find it tedious to have to tug on a dongle cable - that's already fragile from previous tugs - than to use a cable that is designed to never be able to tug - WITH all the doodats of display, USB, whatever else. magnetic USB breakaway cables are cool and all, but you can and will undermine the integrity of the cable's EMI spec - much more so with USB 3 standards and above.

I've got the 11 Pro right in front of me. Microsoft literally fixed all the issue the Surface lineup had till today. The Snapdragon is extremely fast while being super efficient. No more ludicrous standby drain, a battery life better than basically any laptop out there and finally an Windows on ARM OS which is running everything fine, including emulated x86 apps. Not only that, but major companies like Adobe or Blackmagic natively now also offer their productivity-suite for ARM on Windows. Completely crazy, this wasn't even thought to be possible some years ago.

[@rowaystarco]

Yeah, I love it. But I'm somewhat disappointed that Microsoft left us with a cloud only version of the Xbox app. Even steam will let you install a bunch of X86 games. If Microsoft is serious about ARM, they should have Xbox compile some of their lighter first party games to run on ARM as well.

[@safetinspector2]

I've been curious about the x86 emulation. What is the real-world feel of those emulated apps? Anything that isn't working as you'd expect?

[@kruemelfelix]

@@rowaystarco Yeah that's true. Although this likely will change over time. Currently they can't emulate AVX2 due to license stuff. And the licensing for AVX2 runs out this year or early next year afaik. The Games published on Microsoft Store highly likely need AVX2, so theres no way to run them anyways.

[@kruemelfelix]

@@safetinspector2 There are some very rare circumstances which definitely won't work with the emulation layer right now. One is custom network adapters. For example VPN services typically offer their own client, they won't work as x86 apps as the emulation layer can't translate an x86 network adapter. However you can just use the native wireguard client instead. The second thing is AVX2 emulation. That simply isn't possible right now. Any app which requires that won't run. This is a pretty niche thing as I'm not aware of any program which require AVX2 instructions except modern video games. All the others just fall back to AVX. Everything else is literally working out of the box, you don't notice the emulation at all. In the end emulating x86 with the current Windows build is as fast on the X Elite as running the apps natively on the last Intel Ultra 7 chip. Although it uses a bit more power emulated. However more impressive is the current availability of native ARM apps. It's ludicrous, basically all major productivity tools you use are available on ARM. Have a look at "armrepo" on Github pages to see a list.

@@savejeff15 Still, Easily stealable, (if that's a word), but people also could steal the hole surface pro instead. might be safer to put some more screws or seal in another way just in case.

[@savejeff15]

@@yamenarhim9336 you want to avoid exposed screws. Dirt collects unter them and they stick out if not perfectly screwed in. If you over tighten them and mangle the head you are out of luck and the device can not be opened up again. They can also start to unscrew on there own over time. This is less likely with internal screws than might have backing from the top side I hate glue on devices but the more portable a device is the less screws it should have on the outside

That's great design ! I hope they keep the repairability score high.

[@quietusplus1221]

Oh dear. That thermal paste section was painful XD Impressive tech though! Props for the repairability.

Test huawei pura 70 ultra. This device will be interesting for strength tests with its strange materials.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Award for the most repairable tech this year has been decided!

I have never had my ‘tism triggered more before than on this video hearing the blade drag across aluminum like that lol

[@yahiawalidyt]

Actually, I'm a bit surprised! It is the first time seeing a well-built device from Microsoft!

[@th3_ne0__]

I don’t think this is the first time, but honestly the surface lineup has changed quite a bit in the last couple of years for good reason.

[@rowaystarco]

They started making their devices repairable a few generations ago. The major lift this time around is the ARM cpu that gives it actual battery endurance, oh and an OLED on some of the models. They have really started making these devices ready for EU repair laws. Great job by Microsoft!

[@mencibenci]

I have a surface laptop studio, it’s the best laptop I’ve ever used. microsoft does make some great stuff, it’s very much hit or miss for sure, but they have their hits.

[@TT-pi8ww]

It uses an ARM soc but they still use a fan. And look at the budget version of magsafe. Thats a design failure

[@gehteuchnichtsan7911]

@@mencibenci surface book 2 15 is like the predecessor and it's the only mashine i need for video- and music production, gaming, drawing just abou everything you wanna do you can on the surface devices. I have a surface pro 3 from 2014 and it still is more usefull than any ipad to me :D

Very interesting, actually reminded me trying to replace a surface pro battery which lead to screen crack, it's great to see it being repairable

[@mulahasan8195]

Idk why but i absolutely lost it seeing him scraping off thermal paste from a cpu cooler since everyone seems to have some handy.

Fun fact: A&W once tried to sell a 1/3 lb burger for the same price as a quarter pounder, but most Americans thought 1/3 is smaller than 1/4 so it ultimately failed.
