That one is my favorite out of the X Elite bunch.

[prnva_]

Finally Microsoft figured out laptops.

[SenselInc]

Hey @MaxTechOfficial. We're so thrilled that you're a fan of the Sensel-powered haptic touchpad!

[gustinian]

User serviceable SSD, Apple are you listening?

[sholmes_ttyy]

That macbook battery comparison is unfair, apples battery reduction is not even, it slows down the percentage reduction during the initial drain and reduces battery faster when it reaches lower percentages. So basically they are tricking the user to think that macbooks have better battery life. If you let it completely run out of juice, you can see both drain out almost equally.

Qualcomm and Microsoft have done amazing work with ARM CPUs. I am excited to see them join the effort to bring a killer 16-inch laptop with a bigger battery and an option with 8 cores and a higher clock.

[bradavon]

DaVinci Resolve for Windows on ARM is still in Beta. Reviewers REALLY should be saying this in reviews. It's not finished software, yet.

[kakamesh]

It is so refreshing to have such a thorough and balanced review putting aside personal preferences.

I used to not touch my window screen but now I do. There's an incredible productivity if you're doing the same thing over and over again with touching screen combinations with your mouse! Let's say I'm popping out articles like crazy and I have to tap the button over and over again while moving the mouse from here to there, I keep one hand with the finger right where the button will appear, move around the mouse and click that other part, and I just keep rapid firing this process. Way faster than moving the mouse back and forth!

I wish they could also had an option of NVidia graphics. Of course this would negate any battery life improvements, but it would be a solid gaming option for those who needs it.

[JohnCross-rzuq]

I am very happy to see that computer brands that makes computers for Windows OS have a tapered design !

[Neds_Severed_Head]

I've had mine for a few days - I use Windows and Macbooks. A couple things I hope they fix quickly:
1. scrolling on the trackpad isn't smooth, it only scrolls a small amount before needing more input - there's no way to flick the trackpad and quickly scroll.
2. Teams doesn't work properly on it - the web app doesn't detect my speakers, still uses them to play sound, but drops calls regularly. The desktop app doesn't detect the microphone at all.

Is Surface Pro vs Ipad Pro M4 video on your plans ? :)

[GARdotETH]

I moved to a Macbook Air M1 in 2021 having always been a windows user. My last laptop was a Dell XPS 13 4K which was terrible! Always overheating. I had the M1 3 years but didn't get on with MacOS. I run Windows on it via Parallels and have to say Windows was faster on my M1 that it was on my Dell XPS!

I just got rid of my Air M1 as it was getting old. Actually got a really good price for it, more than I was expecting but it was the topped out version.

Having seen this new Surface Laptops, they look likes Macs, and now have the speed and think this is my next laptop! 😁

[rohittkrr]

it's kinda crazy how well m1 mba is currently priced at aussie $1097 which is essentially $699

[EZBlast]

Want it's performance to get even closer to a Mac 3 - buy a two fan bottom/base laptop cooler - the performance increase is noticeable in the CPUZ stress tests - got 10% increase.

[hyperpedro]

Right. You can get a base version, upgrade later with a fast 2 To or 4 To SSD and you have a beast for decent price.

[yellow.artist]

I honestly forgot, that... Microsoft was my first desktop (ik this is a laptop review but still same brand) and I felt some nostalgia from remembering this (from Purble Place to Bookworm Adventures to Mushroom Age)

[technikstein]

The Samsung x Elite is so slow because there is a hidden power profile that you can change in the terminal

[linglongchen]

The key issues are still native software support for applications and devices, blue tooth and usb devices. My 8 years old all in one printer/scanner only has driver for window 7/8/10, does not work with ARM + windows . I don’t want to buy a new printer as it is still in perfect condition.
