999$ with 16GB of RAM is pretty amazing!

[sebastianbenner]

Really wanna see some real world performance tests of the new ARM CPU's.

This video did more to sell me on these devices than Microsoft's own event, lol. I love the appreciation to the subtle details in the design that you guys show by zooming in, slowly panning across the design, describing the colours, etc.

2:25 "all day battery life of this laptop but this time they TRULY mean it ..."

So you want to tell me that THIS TIME Microsoft isn't lying about the battery life (and everything else). Let's just say that until I see accurate benchmarks, I won't believe a word.

They have never matched the gray color of the first SurfaceBook, it was glorious. Now, in silver, it's fine, but the other one had an almost textured touch that was sublime.

That flex keyboard should've been done millennia ago but I'm so glad it's here now

The Snapdragon X chips look promising! With everyone complaining about the Intel models' battery life, it makes sense Microsoft switched to Snapdragon for better efficiency. Plus, both the new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop coming with Windows 11 make them even more tempting!

Won't the new pen compartment cause the pen to make markings in the screen?

[RILDIGITAL]

Glad Microsoft is finally listening to feedback on the thick bezels and battery life.

Pre order only shows the blue for the small screen. Will they offer the blue in the 15 in screen ?

1:35 I truly love the haptic vibration and the simulated click will be an exciting feature to use. It may not mean much for everyone but I believe a strong haptic vibration is easy for anyone to get comfortable using. 😎💯💪🏾👍🏾

Guess two classic Surface Pro things came back from the past, the battery and a BT enabled Type Covers. I owned (and still have somewhere) the original Surface Power Cover for my Surface Pro 1 which was a big necessity back in the day to make the thing last more than 3 hours, and I also remember there was an add-on for a Type Cover that made it work like a BT keyboard, not sure if it ever came out but I guess we have it finally with these new ones.

Also glad to see the Surface Laptop has more than one USB-C port. I/O on the Surface Laptop was always a problem and one of the reasons I don't like it. Glad to see it now has two USB-C ports and still keeps the USB-A port. USB-A ports on thin and light laptops are a dying breed so hopefully Microsoft won't touch the design again for another 7 years so we can keep the USB-A lol.

[EricPardo]

that glare on the surface is still insane

[hellpeppertv]

I nearly spit out my drink when you said that keyboard is $350

[BigEightiesNewWave]

Do these have the embedded into the CPU, Pluton TPM, as the Core series Intel will have?

[aL_]

the pro does look pretty nice with the oled screen. the 45 TOPS number is a bit funny though, that's actually really low compared to desktop gpus... those require alot more power though so yes it makes sense for a laptop/tablet, but its not like its blowing everything else out of the water. AI also requires a large amount of ram too so i really wonder how capable these devices will be in practice, especially for things like video editing

[thesecondtonone]

Finally the upgrade I've been waiting Microsoft to deliver. A premium thin and light Windows laptop that is not overpriced. At 999$ for the base model is actually a good deal!

[chriswilcox]

Do the key letters and texture still wear off way too quickly for something of this price? Love my laptop 5 but not this issue 😢

[summoner]

yes, recall is so cool capturing the screen all the time. So just picture yourself opening your banking apps, and it takes a capture. Then a flaw, or bug, allows someone to access the details in the NPU and transfer that detail out without you knowing. And don't pretend that can't happen with security, we've seen tonnes recently of CVE issues similar.

[dylanchadderton]

So i just checked the website and their wording is still "up to 14/20 hours of video playback" if you're listing those battery life specs as video playback i think you can immediately cut those numbers in half or more for real world usage. I don't doubt the battery life will be better but not nearly to the extent those numbers suggest simply due to the fact it's local video playback.
