The Surface line is really appealing, I've had good experiences with Surface devices in the past, but I'm waiting until the Snapdragon laptops mature. Thanks for the review.

I have bought one, and i m really impressed by how the package is good : impressive battery life and incredible Multi core ! The only one to do this on windows, really impressive even considering apple m3 et m3 pro,

To me the real big upgrade is to be able to have incredible battery life without down core performance!

Great laptop, but had some trouble ordering it for my son. Ordered shortly after preorders opened, and got an email on the 12th of July saying it was delivered, while no package arrived and no money was withdrawn. Called support the day after, and no one picked up for an hour. Later that day, it said my order was canceled. Had to reorder and is now arriving end of August. Still love the laptop!

Really happy with my yoga slim 7x. Runing llms locally and no non arm software. So far really pleased with performance and battery life. Certainly better than a mac

Mine arrived last week. It's perfectly serving my purposes for having a mobile laptop while out on my porch for web browsing and light productivity. 86Box and MAME both run fine with Prism, as to be expected, as they only need to emulate old machines. But really hopeful this becomes the predominant future of mobile Windows.

I didn’t buy the laptop but I did start investing in Qualcomm stock after researching this. Let’s give the M chips some fair competition in terms of battery life and efficiency

Loved the video!
Watching Mr. Schulze from 🇮🇳🇮🇳

2:20 - You are wrong by the way. USB4 is Thunderbolt 3 open sourced and works with Thunderbolt 4 accessories in basically all situations, including PCIE devices.

I’m planning on replacing my iPad with the surface pro 11. Looking forward to the native blender port so I can do some light npr blender animations

[craigarnold]

Great review for the basic, every day user like me.

As for "false clicks" on touchpad just reduce the sensivity in the settings and the problem is gone.

[majestyblur]

This laptop looks soo much like a MacBook… it’s a good move for Microsoft. I love it

The next iteration should feature a bigger touch pad

[seannightwal]

I'll wait for the next one with a bigger trackpad and an OLED display.

I want to love this laptop too and I hope I don't return it. I've had weird issues with a letter key ("K") wouldn't work for 20-30 seconds (this happened twice so far in 3 weeks). With my displays, I have had flickering at least once per day, hopefully that's just a driver issue. My Dell TB16 docking station still doesn't work - still trying to figure out if it is a Thunderbolt issue or software issue. Other than that, ARM applications are a dream to work with on this device. This is definitely an "early adopter" product right now.

[rnavedojr]

Is amazing. I am a developer and the only thing I can't do is to run a local SQL server for now. Other than that is being butterly smooth 😊

[roearchive]

That's it! I've been on the fence about either getting the Fold Z 6, or the Surface 11 Pro! This vid settles it for me!

[hussaingul]

thnx for tell every pros & cons of of this machine

[Joftar]

With updates and some time to mature, is it possible for these chips to become a lot better for gaming compaired to what they are now?

I guess what i am asking is, yes they are bad for gaming now, but could that change? Could driver updates make these gaming capable or are they simply limited by hardware? (Im talking steam deck + gaming performance here)

Would be nice to know that if i buy a surface laptop now, it will get better at gaming over time

[carlandjennifersilva]

I have this computer and I can say that it’s basically got the performance of an M1 MacBook Pro. I use my M1 MacBook Air for everything I do. I’m a musician and writer that dabbles in photoshop and light video editing. My Air can do it all, the surface could too but the software is a little buggy. I bricked the windows install twice accidentally installing some apps that aren’t compatible and had to reinstall. Microsoft and developers need to get off their butts because otherwise these x elite chips can replace most PCs.

Hi there, do you see any paint coming off on the laptop after usage?
