Very honest review. I also think there are other better options for the same price (or even less). For users that don't need to connect many other devices to their laptop, I think this one is fine, but me personally, I definitely need HDMI and more USB A ports.

[@gagansohal8089]

Mate.. It's got Usb C charging capabilities too!

[@hansangb]

The magnetic power connector has saved me many times (on my Surface 2). LOVE IT. And I was doubtful on the Alcantara (sp?) but after 2.5 years of use, I can't imagine going back to metal. Oddly, Surface 2 laptop doesn't have any of the flex.

[@TuFacez]

The Thunderbolt 4 comment is fair! Although I love the Surface connect charger for the magsafe which can run surface dock etc.

[@icebug]

You should be able to charge this laptop via the USB-c port as well, since you can on the Surface Laptop 3. So while there is a proprietary connector for charging, it isn't locked into using that as the only method to charge the device.

[@sricharaansriram5175]

Microsoft has its own surface dock of 250 dollars. But it’s so costly. Love you man waiting for 15 inch model

[@ebanubisggc]

Brooo I’d love to see the 15” version

[@brainactivity737]

Spot on regarding the keyboard. I was so excited to get the ice blue Alcantara edition which looked gorgeous! A true beauty let down with the flex on the keyboard which made it feel very cheap. However, just go for the metal version and you'll have a solid constructed laptop.

[@Antondepadua]

For me personally, I love that I can use a surface pen on it. I annotate a lot of documents and do a lot of math for work, so being able to jot down my solutions on it is crucial!

[@rooky2king886]

Great video! I’m currently torn between this and the xps13 and the xps is edging it for me atm

[@Sarcasmka14]

Good Design & Bulid Quality this laptop!

[@mohamedhussain3813]

I like how he did finished the title with ?!

[@HiAdventureCast]

They keep the surface connect port because businesses have bought accessories that require it. A large part of their demographic are business customers who just want to buy a new laptop and have it work with their old docks.

Microsoft has done a gr8 job with the surface line. I am using Surface Book 2 since 2018 and love it to date. Windows 11 OS is fine-tuned and compliments the surface laptops. Hardware is gr8 u talk about the keyboard, screen, camera, tablet mode or the pen everything is just mind-blowing. The battery life is still good. The other good thing to mention is that I have never heard the fan going. Many times when I am on a office call with my collegues, I can hear their laptop fan like a chopper going in the background. Also, the windows hello - face login feature is very handy and can't go without it. Once a year I reset the laptop and do a fresh OS install and it has never given me any problems. My only regret is that I went for the 8 GB Ram model at the time and sometimes when I have several apps open and if I am on a vdo call, I get low memory warning. Shame I can't increase the RAM on this.

Love your insight, and objectivity! Keeps me hooked for your pov. Super helpful content keep it up 👍

[@learntheArabic]

Hi, from Egypt.i am learning English with you ☺️🤍.

[@sfiqah_]

Me everytime he start talking..

[@ChrisRidesHisBike]

pretty sure you can charge with the USB-C port.

[@zzkeokizz]

In undergrad I used to write papers while watching movies. The older keyboards from the ’90’s were better than the current crop. They were just bigger than current models

[@CaptainCrunch823]

Weird...I have the same model and didn’t notice the keyboard flex. I 100% agree about the limited ports and hate that it doesn’t support thunderbolt.
