@@deltax7159 I'm in the same boat as you. My sp7 dies SO fast and it runs super slow imo. I have no idea why it's being so slow but I swear I don't remember it being like this when I first got it. It also overheats super easy and I don't know if the newer ones have a fan or not but LORD does it need one. This thing gets hot just from browsing edge. Yes EDGE. I can't even use google chrome because it chugs too hard with it. I'll be going to college next year and I'll need something that isn't close to being a brick and has more storage (I have the i5 128gb model). The surfaces are just so appealing due to the pens and ability to take off the keyboards (I also loathe apples UI so I'm a bit limited lmao)

The use case that works for my wife is as a student. First as a tablet with a stylus to take notes in class, then later in the library with its keyboard cover to type things up, and then finally at home as a desktop replacement, with it connected to a 27 inch monitor and full size keyboard. The drawback is when it comes to taking notes in class using it as a tablet, it weighs a ton compared to iPads.

I normally agree with Josh but having used this machine travelling extensively between europe, USA and niddle east, I have left my M4 iPad at home as it could not compete with the surface pro and my macbook pro stays with it. I use it for heavy duty content development, presentations, database management and management of resesrch programs. Battery life, speed are all amazing and when in the office it easily runs two extra screens. I'm not a reviewer but a practical user, and the surface pro has been worth every bit of investment.

Worked like that for 6 months and then another 2 very successfully. While at home I used it as media device, music listening (dac and headphones), for reading comics, on holidays for watching movies in hotel room with my gf....I mean, I LOVE this thing And it proved suprisingly well built, running 2 extra screens at 1440p for teamviewer + native screen for youtube distraction while working, got really hot during summer but never failed me once..

All the reviews, including this one, I have watched so far all mention that Surface Pro is heavier than iPad and Yes it is, BUT it is actually lighter when you use the device with keyboard. Apple's magic keyboard is magically heavier than iPad itself, making it heavier than Surface and some thin laptops. And I think this is really worth mentioning because when people want to use it for productivity purposes, they will most likely use it with a keyboard.

I think it matters when someone use it like a hand-hold tablet device. detach the keyboard and only use the top half, and this is when the weight matters. in terms of laptop use, tbf no one cares about less than 500 grams of weight difference when purchasing a laptop device. So having an excellent keyboard experience with some compromises on weight is totally acceptable.

It’s also very clear that Josh didn’t actually weigh the device himself and even misleadingly rounded up the officially overestimated weight of 895g to 900g, while using precise figures for the other devices in his graph, for a more dramatic effect. People who actually weighed their SP11s have reported weights in the range of 865g-878g for LCD and 878g-883g for OLED. I suspect that the official 895g is a margin for the upcoming 5G version. Also, he didn't take the built-in kickstand and enhanced structural rigidity into account, and the fact that you rarely have to hold a big tablet suspended in mid-air for extended periods of time, since the load is almost always shared with your hips, legs, or stomach.

Since I teach chemistry, math, physics and technology like 3d printing I geht every Software I need, sometimes eben very old Software like Chemsketch. The price is irrelevant, since I buy These items once every 4 years. I got an Ipad from my School and never used it since it would be too much of an hassle to find workarounds for everything I use so far. I hatte the battery life and that it is not really "lap operatable". For my next device I might opt for a 360 convertible like the HP spectre.

Josh you got 5 hours at full brightness because display consumes most power at those high nits. Even MacBook can't last most than 8hrs at full brightness.

I only manage to get about 2 to 3 hours from my Lenovo Yoga 7 i7 (bought last year), while I can get 6 to 7 hours from the Surface. This is one review that I have to disagree with Josh on.

I think this device is best for students. I bought the SP7 years ago and have used it throughout my undergraduate studies in statistics, and now my graduate statistics program. I take notes in class, I use Rstudio, SAS, and VScode for all my python machine learning code and it works perfectly for all of these things. It's really nice to be able to go from taking notes in class to connecting it to an extended monitor and coding my ML stuff. At the end of the day, I will also just lay in bed and watch KZbin on it. Maybe any professionals that need to take notes or write would also benefit from this. My only gripe is the battery life. It's really disappointing to hear that this new Qualcomm chip only provides only an extra hour or so to what I get right now. But, as a student, I take notes while in class, and then in between classes I just go to my office and connect to monitor and charge. I also keep a really great power bank with me. Regardless of the battery, I have LOVED this device for school.

I keep a power bank with me that can charge it up twice for those rare situations where I need it off charger for more than 3 or 4 hours. If the SP11 comes out with an intel lunar lake variant that lasts 12 plus hours I will upgrade for sure. Being able to take notes and still have a full windows OS is awesome. If I went mac I would have to bring an iPad and a macbook with me to school, where as with the SP I just need 1 device.

My primary device is a desktop PC and I need a secondary device for work/multimedia when I travel or for the bed/couch use. I had a Macbook Air, I used it during travel but at home it was collecting dust 99% of the time because its inconvenient to use in bed. Now I swapped it for the Surface Pro 11 and I use it all the time as a tablet at home + as a work laptop when I travel. I got a tablet "hand" stand on Amazon that I put near my bed that holds the Surface right infront of my face when I'm lying in bed, its SO convenient. I also got a small foldable table stand for 20$ on Amazon to lift surface closer to my eyes when I'm working since Bluetooth keyboard allows it. For my use case Surface is way better so I sold my Macbook Air.

I have spent the last 3 months trying to find the best laptop that is good for my work, light weighted, can connect to multiple screens easily, do not have annoying fan noise, and have a charming display. I have read tons of research and gone through all the videos I can possibly find, and purchased a few different ones and finally decided on the surface pro because (1) With the keyboard, it is still 100 grams lighter than the macbook air M3 13 inch (2) It can connect to multiple external screens easily while the macbook air M3 is lacking in this perspective (3) I contacted my work's tech support, apparently they get more complaints of using Mac OS to connect to Citrix than using Windows OS (4) The device's display is great, compared to the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (5) I also tried the Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 12, but its fan noise was unbearable, so had to return it. Overall, this Surface Pro 11 is a much better option than all of those I tried: Macbook Air M3 13 inch, ASUS zenbook 14 OLED, and Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 12.

Aside from the drawbacks you pointed out (lap usage) it does it so well, i dont need to bring both my iPad and my Macbook everywhere.

Good review, but there are some things you say that I can't really understand the logic behind: 1. You say that because it's 13", and not 13.8", it's too small. Well, in my view even my 16" laptop is not as large as I'd like it to be, so for me even 13.8" is way to small. But that's the point: some people do prefer the 13.8" over my 16" laptop, and I am pretty sure some people would prefer the 13" super-compact tabelt-laptop here than a heavier, larger 13.8" normal laptop. I don't really understand these people - but I know they exist... 2. You give the battery life figure under normal use, which I really appreciate. I think these tests that other KZbinrs use, where they, for instance, dim the screen to 50% of its brightness, are stupid. Why would I buy a laptop with a bright screen and then dim it so much so that it becomes hard to use? However, you say "5 hours of normal use", without comparing it to other laptops. That makes it meaningless, because it's not as if your point is: "laptops suck, don't buy them", but rather that you hint that other laptops achieve better results than those 5 hours. Which other laptops? How much better? What are their drawbacks?

It's very light so traveling is easy (and I travel a lot) but you can snap it with a monitor and keyboard and you have a great system when you need more screen space. Not the beefiest of the machines but if you need something really powerful then servers/cloud is the way.

I can tell you who the Surface is for - its the Best of both worlds. its not a great tablet and not a great laptop, but it can do both pretty okay. I Use it as my Main Device every day as a master of electrician. In the Moring i use it for Office Work and ansering Mails. While the Workday i use it mostly in Tablet mode to comment and edit PDF Files (Wiring Diagrams) , take notes while im at the Customers house with the key in Onenote (Sync them Right to the Cloud so my Office knows what the Customer wants) and Work with it with some electrican exclusive Programs (ETS 4 and 5) to Programm Smart Homes. (These are Windows Exclusive Programs ) In the Evening i can use it to do more office work while Plugged in into my main Monitor and external keyboard. When i want to i use my External-GPU Setup to play some games with it. EGPU Isnt supportet yet on the ARM Plattform so i will wait a litte bit longer ... So its almost the perfect device for me, when the 5G Version will arrive i will Probaly upgrade from my SP9 to SP11 to get more connectivity. I Have a Ipad Pro M2, i was sure it will replace my SP9, but cant get even close, in the end i use my Ipad only for webbrowsing and netflix / youtube. It can take notes too and do it really well, but when im on my way to a customer i cant switch it into a full productivity device and run real applications on it, so its just a really really expensive toy Best Regards

You have to factor in the dock. People who use it as a Desktop but also want a laptop or tablet for on the go are the target buyers. Yes you can do the same with most laptops, but none of them are also a tablet and in the end, small and light is still small and light. This then becomes the "one" device. No copying, no worrying if you uploaded to the cloud. It's all there on your one device. Great for business travellers who live in constant fear of forgetting something on the office computer. If Apple was smart, they could do that with their iPhones but that would require making IOS useful - and open. Microsoft was moving in this direction with the Windows phone. Like many Microsoft ideas, a little too early to the game. Imagine a world where every hotel, every office desk every bedroom, had a USB-C dock with keyboard and screen and you just plugged your phone into it. There is no technical reason we couldn't have this today.

Someone once said that a reviewer's value is in their consistency. Every other laptop review of yours includes a standardized battery life test, usually consisting of a video playback loop, with 60hz and at 200 nits of brightness. And yet, for some inexplicable reason, you chose to basically eyeball the battery life for this review. No standard test, just "I couldn't get more than 5 hours on MAX brightness doing unspecified tasks". I don't know if you got too caught up in some attempt to be different from other reviewers, if you just got lazy, or if you were intentionally trying to mislead your audience by using a completely nonstandard battery life test, but in any case, you should consider issuing some kind of clarification or completely redoing this review.

Wow, for someone who prides themselves on being accurate, you are being EXTREMELY disingenuous here when you said you can get the SL7 and an iPad (+ Apple Pencil + Magic Keyboard) for less than the corresponding SP11. You are talking about an entirely different screen size for the iPad. For individuals who do a lot of PDF annotations and handwriting, a large pen-compatible canvas is paramount. So you SHOULD be comparing the SP11 to the 13" iPad Pro, not the 13" Air (lacks ProMotion, lacks OLED), and CERTAINLY NOT the 10.9" model. Hence, you have failed to acknowledge that for people who need to lug around a tablet and laptop for all their use cases in a day, the SP11 fits in that workflow perfectly while not only costing less, but also weighing less and occupying less space than the combination of SL7 + 13" iPad. This is the exact reason why anyone should get the Surface Pro family of devices, and it baffles me that an 'expert' such as yourself has such difficulty deciphering that.

Do you take notes on the phone talking to clients or while listening in class or meetings? Do you want a full desktop computer with access to the normal programs students and professionals use daily? Well, if you are weird enough to fall into this group (as most of us do), then nothing beats the Surface Pro. And, performance and future-proof adaptability for the ARM-program future are tops with the Surface Pro 11. I wish its battery lasted longer, but it is fantastic and Josh’s struggles to find a use case for the SP11 are hard to understand.

@@JustJoshTech Excellent point. Spectre14 is a fabulous counterexample. I have one. For me, though, I take a lot of notes. I am an attorney and part-time judge in a local municipal court. The tablet is easier to use for taking notes than flipping the whole gizmo around. That said, the Spectre 14 is wonderful and I think is a better option than the Surface Laptop 7 precisely because the Spectre lets you take notes but the SL7 does not. Truly weirdly, if the Surface Laptop Studio was lighter, it would be my favorite. It has all the advantages of the laptop and the ability to take notes just by pulling the screen over the keyboard without having to turn the machine upside down. That probably speaks to my strange tastes, but I love that arrangement best of all -- except the damn thing is too heavy. In the task management/efficiency world, they talk about having a "single source of truth," a single repository where you look to see what you must do and the information related to that obligation or task. In the computer world, an iPad with a Zugu cover is light and easy to use and take notes on. (The iPad keyboard makes it f-ing heavy.) But, I use the cross-platform program OneNote and it has lots of add-ons (OneTastic, for example) and features (synchronized recording and transcripts for notes) on its Windows edition that are not available on the other platforms. So, the Surface Pro gives me the single machine with the best options. Perfect. Not close. But I am far more of the limiting force than that amazing machine in my work. Love your channel. take care and get some rest.

I do a bit of video and image editing, lots of writing, and lots more research with my current laptop. It's big, powerful and heavy. But considering a Surface Pro for these reasons: Travel light to my workspace, leave the charger at home and connect it to my external monitor at the office. Touch display makes the research work more accessible on the couch or the desk and lightweight. Got a Bluetooth MX keys mini, so the keyboard and mouse thing is not an issue. I don't do serious typing without a proper keyboard. The X Elite feels robust enough to handle what I need for my work and will last for a day. It runs full-blown Windows 11; most apps I use support natively for ARM. Surface Pro supposedly solves all the complaints I have with my current laptop. It's bulky, the battery is a shame, it takes up too much space, and it is less portable, and I have to switch between my tablet and laptop for work and entertainment.

Except for meetings, I always connect it to external screens and I never work outside anyways. :) I would love the detachable keyboard.

Very confusing with your accent talking about return dates. Ah wouldn't it be nice to be able to do that here in Australia. Are you sure you're testing the Snapdragon version re battery life? I tested out the previous Arm Surface and got around 10 hours out of it....same as what I get on my iPad Pro 12.9 M1.

Need Microsoft to release a Surface Pro 11". Similar form factor as the fanless Surface Go-series but with better performance (obviously wouldn't match larger devices, but if it can be quietly cooled with fans with 80-90% performance that's a compromise I would be okay with), and premium screen (higher brightness, higher refresh rate). The big 'if' is whether such a device could be made with acceptable battery life due to even smaller battery. The use case would be for people that really value portability and one-handed tablet use.

Sir I am from India and I am starting college this year. I wanted some advice on this laptop "Lenovo legion slim 5 gen 9 16 inch 2024". I need it for computer science and for some casual gaming.

I thought the Surface Laptop 7 trackpad was on par with the MacBooks? Is that false?

It is the best Windows trackpad. And I would say second best only to Macs. Certainly, I would recommend the surface laptop 7 if the trackpad is important.

I just think the form factor needs to be looked at again to make improvements. I had surface pro for about a week before I gave up and returned it, it's just sooooooo clunky compared to a laptop even if it's well built. At least this looks to be the best surface made to date, fixing a lot of the issues like heat and fan noise, so that's good for those that do love the form factor.

I thought i was the only one that notice the subpar battery life, i don't have the elite model, i have the X plus, but i do have LTE with 5G and the Flex keyboard. I notice that the keyboard and pen keeps constantly charging and discharging, so i think this might have something to do with the bad battery life... I was going to go pickup the normal keyboard (non flex) to see if it increases the battery life of the unit. I hardly need to use the keyboard separately from the laptop. But yes, i was sold on the battery life, but my old surface go 3 is only marginally worse... Albeit it also having terrible performance to verses the Pro 11.

Good to see that majority of people strongly disagree with this pathetic review. This guy keeps taking a diss a qualcomm. I am convinced he has some personal issue with Qualcomm! He is the only reviewer to say QC battery sucks. Just to prove his point he takes a shameless dig at others and says "QC has paid millions in advertising". This man is really subpar and lacks class. I have tested myself and the battery is way better than x86. So many unpaid reviewers have said the same thing. I am convinced this guy is doing a hit job.

I did say in this video it was better than Intel and AMDs' older processors. At the end of the day, the most important thing is that you love your laptop. That its right for your use case.

I went through multiple written reviews, and many used watching videos at only 150 nits as their guide to battery life and averaged about 12 hours. But the ones that did real-life tests, like CNBC and Guardian, to name two, also only got 8 hours, which is close to my runtime and this review. Now, if all you do is playback media, you will get more than 8 hours, but multitasking and doing office work with 75% brightness in light mode only gets me 6-8 hours. It is better than Intel, but if you do more intensive tasks, then it is very close.

I am only 15 seconds into the video, but let me say, I am so so so happy that you titled this video, Surface Pro 11 Review, instead of 'Why I am returning the SP11' or 'not' returning the device. Those titles are an immediate turn off. I expect nothing like that from this channel, thankfully. Okay, I'll be quiet now and watch the review :)
