[@whirlwind872]

@@ai00436 The irony is, MKBHD has always done it all by himself. He has a couple people help him now, just due to the logistics of how much content he makes, but if you watch MKBHD videos from a few years ago you'll see him in his college dorm room still trying to pump out the highest quality videos he possibly could. The reason it looks overproduced is MKBHD is really into cameras and video aesthetics, he isn't a camera review channel but he talks about his gear from time to time, and he has a massive collection of very expensive camera equipment. It really is all him, but he's pushed the quality so high to the point that it no longer looks like it's made by a single person.

I've been waiting for your review! I'm currently on Surface Laptop 1 and debating if I should wait before upgrading.

[@b.elzebub9252]

I had the option to trade in my surface laptop 3 for a surface laptop 4 recently. The 3 was great. Without the doubt the best laptop I've ever had, and I really doubted the 4 would be any better. But it only ended up costing me 20 bucks for the upgrade, so seemed a no brainer. I was very wrong. The 4 is way better than the 3. Not in any very obvious or flashy way, expect the battery life. The battery life is almost double on the 4. So if the difference between the 3rd gen and the latest 4th gen is noticeable, I can only imagine the difference between the 1st and the 4th gen!

[@sBirktoft]

Thanks! Best and most relevant review so far!

[@leledumbo]

What I love from AMD is that they can trail M1 in both performance and battery life, using the same old x86, although thermal is still an enemy. This shows that x86 isn't over yet, and there could still be ways to squeeze more out of it. Still, if AMD gets their ARM CPU (or was it SoC?), I'm gonna be just as happy since it's almost 0 migration for us, Linux users.

[@faziolifairmont8125]

the whole cpu evolution is a play. microsoft asked for their amd chips to be twice as energy efficient as it was designed to be, and amd delivered it within weeks. intel and amd have the entire future planned ahead, and they have cpus that are even byond quantum computing as well. becuase quantum computing is an overrated hype thats not well understood and not at all fitting what consumers or even businesss execute. And quantum computing is a scam to farm money from investors without even delivering an working prototype that does get half the answers wrong because its scientifically not even possible to make noiseless. i am much more interested in theevolution of software, as that is where everyone is capable to compete. and the open source community and inux doesnt really seem to provide, making me a real fan of microsoft for pushing companies to move to security, AES, TPM, encryption and all that. Microsoft is a wonderfull company, and their products last 10 years under heavy load. while competitors other than apple fail within 2,5 years under heavy load.

[@tanmay______]

Hey Dave, I really like your honest reviews on laptops, I trust you more than other reviewers because you keep the average consumer in mind. That being said, I do have a suggestion for you. You should talk a little more about the repairability (other than the hard drive and the RAM) of the devices you talk about. Many machines look really good on paper, but they're a nightmare to get fixed if they go bad. If you can fix them at all that is. Some fruity companies lock down their devices really hard and that's keeping me from buying them.

[@Dare2Blink]

Great video Dave2D you are the man. I think its also worth pointing out that the Surface laptop, unlike the mac, has a touch screen and even is compatible with the surface pen (which is handy to sign documents and the like). Also you did not even mention the webcam which is supposidely quite good, although not quite as good as the surface book and surface pro line.

I consistently got between 10~12 hours of local video playback which was on par of what they originally claimed. Right now my battery has quite a bit of wear and degradation due to 4.5 years of heavy use, so my battery life is about 75% of what it used to be with over 1000 cycles for each battery (tablet and keyboard base). So yeah, the Surface Book hit big numbers, but of course that's with a big ass battery as well.

"It'll last you 19 hrs if you don't use it!" Is Microsoft talking about their laptop here or ......... 🤔🤔🤔

[@TodorSRB]

Honestly an 11hr from a x86 architecture vs 13hr from ARM is actually incredibly impressive

[@donttellmejustlisten4598]

Lol its 11 vs 20 not 11-13 , coz Microsoft achieved 11 hours only never the claimed 17 but apple achieved their 20 hour claimed at their given settings ,but 13 hours is what you will get on normal use .

Picked up a 2nd hand surface book 1. i5. 8gb for 250 in mint condition. Best purchase in a long time. Ms won me over with this surface book as my tastes have change. Before it was dell. Will definitely be looking forward to more MS laptop in the future. Love your videos btw!

I just bought one (AMD) and your review is the first honest one I read out of 20. Subscribed.

[@elimiller-buza549]

one of the problems with reparability that i found is that none of the parts seem to be available anywhere even for the laptop 3

[@AbhayKumar-og9ep]

your videos are so clean. it has no useless background music 😂

[@CABAJO9]

Love when companies compete...pushing their boundaries and making better products...i hope intel wakes up more...

[@Doge317]

I am still interested in the pure performance on the new surface laptop. You said the performance is good, but what does that mean? Maybe test it with a real world use case like compiling firefox (cpu intensive), or rendering a video (gpu intensive). Would be interested how it compares to the M1.

[@magicspellscorner5887]

nice work

[@SurajSharma-wp8eg]

Hey Dave, my girlfriend asked if you could send us the link for the lights you've used. She loves it. :'D Thank you

[@Timo-M]

It used to be unimaginable to have impressive battery life combined with decent performance in a lightweight device without fan noise. Along came the MacBook Air M1.

I like the video starting/intro. audio and video👍

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

Straight, objective info. No fanboy crap or excess bias here. Worth a sub for this alone.
