Surface Pro X. Most of the reviewers plain don't understand Windows on ARM. If you have suitable apps, not all need to be native to be good, it's best in class. I'd like a Surface Laptop on ARM though. After two Surface Pros I'd like a clamshell. Still a great Surface Pro though.

Great review as always! I'm still using my Surface Laptop 3 that I bought about 3 years ago from the US during a Cyber Monday sale...$1199 for the 16GB/256 Core i7 version, absolute bargain considering the same laptop in the UK was £1799!! Been working great during this time, performance is on point! Everything runs just as it should! Only downside would be the battery life like you mentioned seems to be the same problem with the Laptop 5, I'm definitely getting nowhere near the 8/9hrs quoted by Microsoft! Even though the Laptop 3 only has Intel Iris Graphics (not Xe), it can still run some games pretty well, including The Outer Worlds, and Wolfenstein New Order!

I bought one of these a week ago, 15 inch 512ssd, i7 1255u. I was able to spend just 1.4k instead of 1.8k. I use it for coding with python and doing web development, absolutely fine and with the touchscreen I find myself more than comfortable for adjusting windows size during productivity sessions. I'll recommend it also if you have to type a lot, like me. It's much better than anything else.

Honestly, it is hard for me to recommend anything other than the M1 Air for people doing normal computer work with no gaming (browsing the web, office work, etc...). It is thin, light, has a fantastic keyboard, best trackpad in the industry, Touch ID, best battery life around with 18 hours, and it never even gets what I would call warm to the touch. You can get it refurbished for $750 and brand new you can often find it for $850 or everyday from Apple for $899 with an education discount (no proof needed). I've had mine since the beginning of June 2021 and it has been the best laptop I've ever purchased and I own a LOT of tech.

@@nintendork07 I have the M1 Air 16gb/1tb/8core gpu and I've noticed that most older games are totally playable through parallels if you crank the details down on some of the more demanding ones and that crossover will make some of them playable with higher details. I have a pretty big backlog of older/indie games that are now totally playable on it + like you said, pretty much any emulator runs great. However, for those who are exclusively gaming, or playing competitive shooters, they need to stick to a gaming laptop. I mainly use my switch and my xbox for gaming though so I'm fine.

I really love the idea of sticking to MS and the Surface family, but the Dell XPS is not allowing me to make a final decision. I might end up getting the Laptop 4 at the end of the day, but just waiting another week to see what Black Friday brings, here in Canada.

I just got one of theses for work, I got $800 off so the price is right for me, good build quality, and I work primarily with Microsoft products. I had/have a 2019 Dell XPS 15 with Touch Screen which now becomes mine (work paid for it, and the SL 5 too), but to be honest I was put off getting another XPS because initially they are a pain in the arse having to fix drivers and get the bugs out of it and now and then it gives me grief. I just wanted something minimalist that works cleanly. The dock is a bit overpriced but I got a discount on that too. Was tempted by the Surface Pro 9, but the stand and keyboard designs just don't work for my set up, and the pen stylus still works with the Laptop 5 anyway.

If a person is in the Apple ecosystem, this is not even a question. The M1 or M2 Air is a better machine. If a person is upgrading from another PC, this could be an excellent choice. I just got one second-hand for under £400. From Microsoft (MSFT) it is currently £1479. MSFT is NOT trying to make the cheapest or most performant devices. They create devices that have that “I love it” factor. Just use one for a week, and you’ll get used to the loveliness of the device. Other laptops do not give you that. The XPS line looks good for a while, but then they begin to look grubby. The plastic looks like plastic, even though when it is new they tell you it is "Carboin fibre" and you can see the wear. Have you ever seen someone with a cover on their XPS 13? No! I have seen covers on MacBooks all the time and on Surface laptops because people think they are lovely devices and want them to stay that way. Again, I understand that they are not the most performant, but who is buying them? This is for someone who is doing email, surfing, possibly some video watching, maybe some photo editing, and consuming Netflix, etc. It’s a computer for work and using work applications-not for someone doing coding or graphically intense tasks. It’s for someone who would be using a MacBook Air but is not in the Apple ecosystem. Someone who wants something more durable than an XPS and looks great. Something that will last 4 or 5 years. The fact that it’s made by Microsoft is a real bonus. I wish the bezels were smaller and that it was lighter and faster, etc. However, it is an absolutely gorgeous machine. Every time you open it and it logs you in, you can get straight to what you were looking to do. I know lots of Windows laptops do that, but none do it quite like this. The closest thing to this is a MacBook-and that is off the menu. HP, Dell, Asus all have alternatives, and the HP is probably the closest in build, but none of them come really close to the build quality here. It really is that good. Look, I am obviously saying all this in the context of getting it for under £400. Would I have paid the full price - I don't think so. If anything - just like you suggested I would probably have gone for last year's Ryzen version. The device is a winer and the touch screen is a differentiator for me. Using Surface laptops is it's own thing and I cannot imagine not doing so at the moment.
@Kevllarr
@Kevllarr 2 жыл бұрын
Hmmm, glad I've seen this review. It seems that there's better alternatives to the surface, such as the HP envy x360 13" 2 in 1 at this point at a similar price on paper. It's a shame because if the surface had better bezels and more of a selection of ports, it would deffo be a good choice worth considering for a thin and light ultrabook. At least it seems that way to me anyway.

My Samsung S21 is beautiful and I adjust it to escape it's flaws. My recently debuged nine years old Window 7 ZOTAC remains nearly perfect for me. My fifteen years old Window 10 HP beautiful laptop tough truly showing it's performance age does please me when ever I use it. Finally my 42 inch ultra HD Sharp Hensen Smart TV is the best and again I want no alternative. So with no disposal income computers are not a problem. In closing I want to add that my bag of tricks also includes a Sony PSP a Samsung Oculis Gear VR and a Sony Tablet and a Sylvania Bluetooth Speaker plus a Sony Premium Headphones and Jacked Headphones.

I purchased three SL5 and they were all incompatible with Surface Slim pen 2 and Surface pen (and a third party pen). When I kept using the pens, touch screen stopped working randomly. I confirmed these pens work perfectly fine on my Surface Pro3 without any issue so I think it's the issue of entire SL5 lines (which is serious problem I think). I reported this issue to MS customer team, but they were saying only three SL5 units that I've tested could have hardware failure issue, not the entire SL5 lines, and closed the case. I think this is ridiculous that they were saying only three units (brand new) that I've tested have hardware failure because such probablity is extremetly low and it's more likely that it's the issue of entire SL5 lines. I think this is serious problem, and MS should come up with firmware update or something, but they seem not interested so far. I'd greatly appreciate if you could test on your SL5 with Surface pen (or third party stylus) to see if touch screen stops working randomly (you have to keep using it repeatedly) and publish the video so that more people get to know about the issue and MS can start investigating it more properly.

The Microsoft Surface Laptop is my favourite laptops lineup, it's in my opinion easily the best looking laptop. But this is extremely disappointing, no way this laptop is worth buying over other competitors or even over the previous model (with a price drop). I really really hope that there will be an upgrade next year on the Surface Laptop 6 that's worth.

This is honestly a very embarrassing attempt by Microsoft pitched as Macbook Air M2 rival. At very least, they could also shaved off those thick ass bezels, it would be a much better proposition but no. Tbh if one is a hardcore Microsoft everything kind of guy (yes, they do exist), Surface Pro is the ultimate product that represent best of Microsoft imo and unlike Surface Laptop, the Pro at least offers unique (and unarguably the best) experience as 2 in 1 detachable Windows tablet (which is still rare breed to this day). My 2 cents ...

If Apple created their own connector (on laptops) everyone would lose their minds. Now Microsofts creates a bang average laptop with proprietary connector no one cares. It is Microsoft, after all. Their skills is businesses. Apple is a poor value proposition without a particular use case. The company I work for use HP laptops with Windows 10. It is a sound working device. Word, OneNote and Outlook is fair platform as a programmer. Microsoft helps you create software. With all this said, this device makes no sense.

For laptops, windows feels “bigger” than macOS. For some reason when using macOS on a laptop it feels cramped and annoying to use. Too much fidgeting around with windows. Perhaps lack of proper windows snapping. Stage manager just makes your overall window space even smaller and even more annoying to use. Don’t know. Windows just feels easy. I don’t mind MS not making major changes in their laptop line, as long as they don’t put in a notch and keep the touchscreen.
