I was pleasantly surprised by this laptop. It gets insane battery doesn’t overheat or kick the fans on and just works.

[balloonredd]

your coverage of these new machines are some of the best. thanks for your work

[zargis]

I wish there was some testing on X Plus. Considering that these machines are basically only for light use, the base price model (999$) seems like it could be a great deal.

I've had my Surface Laptop 7 running ARM and haven't noticed the fan kick in once, if it has, i haven't heard it. Loving it so far and it's so responsive. Awesome reviews Andrew A+++

I'm in love with the sapphire blue version of this laptop. It is simply gorgeous! Thrilled about the battery life, the Sensel Haptic Touchpad, the premium build and the Surface Connect Port. The AI effects is somewhat gimmicky in my opinion, the webcam and mic audio are clear. I do prefer the 15" version however as I like a bigger screen. While not a dealbreaker by any stretch of the imagination, it's somewhat of a letdown that there is no OLED option. In conclusion, The Surface Laptop 7 (2024) has peaked my interest and I might be ordering one but not before I see it put through its paces by the Great Andrew Marc David! Thank you again my friend!! 👍😁

Finally a genuine upgrade for this laptop, been waiting for this forever. Based on the Surface Laptop 3 I have, it should be incredibly reliable! Time to upgrade!

[RovexHD]

The webcam couldn’t be any better really.

[inigab]

great video! waiting for lenovo 7x review

[akin]

Great to hear that the battery life has actually lived up to the expectation for this laptop. Now they just need the drivers for all the X86 apps and Linux distros.

[williamcopeland]

Awesome video! Look as if it's time for me to upgrade my Surface Laptop 5 now.

[anthony]

Yet again, the fountain of all things tech! Great video, can't wait for the other 432 Snapdragon videos you'll have to make. haha. Thanks

[iCrackr]

20 hours is insane, wonder how the XPS 13 9345 stacks up with its OLED

[yu-gi-oase]

I absolutely love your reviews. Keep up the good work! Nonetheless i catched one misinformation here. The brightness actually is 600 nits for both hdr AND sdr content. But i even better xD

[diegoms]

Something that concerns me its the "low resolution - i know it's not", compared do the surface. You you say its much different to the eye from someone coming from the surface pro 8? Cause i've been think to go back to an laptop, but really like the surface line. Right now, on a surface pro 8 i7, 16gb DDR4

[hikeskool]

These snaps dragon CPUs don’t natively support x86 and x64 programs right? Namely thinking about Steam 👌

[EduardLevesque]

interesting, its a 54wh battery that means it would be drawing about 2.8 watts to get 20 hours

[itsmilan]

11:27 considering the m3 max as 2 m3 fused together and 2 core disabled that's still great as X elite 80100 is a m3 competitor

[MarxMarvelous]

Can't wait to get mine on Monday. Very curious how that battery life will hold up in real world usage scenarios (web, Office, etc.). Also curious how previous gen SL5/6 did on the same video rundown test.

[adequatequality]

For the first time, I can actually make out the additional $200-300 you're paying for the Surface Laptop compared to the other Copilot+PC that have been released. The battery life and haptic trackpad alone make it worthwhile tbh

[alphabasic]

Love your reviews. Did you get a Yoga with the haptic touchpad? That’s my only concern with the Yoga
