Only one USB A and no USB C…why?
I bought both the macbook pro 13 256GB non touchbar and today I picked up the same spec’d surface laptop. I have to say that microsoft is doing a very good job and I have been a macbook pro user for years upon years. On paper the Macbook uses a better 7th gen processor than the surface and also better ssd’s with faster read write speeds. In reality I have not noticed a differnce for running developer grade software. The macbook also used a better integrated graphics card. So I dont know what the clear winner is ehre but this laptop cost 300 bucks less with student discount and I instantly upgraded to windows 10 pro. So far I like this keyboard much more than the macbooks, the screen is amazing and I actually use the touch portion for scrolling up and down webpages. Battery life so far has been great. I am at 70% after 5 hours and that was with light coding and installing all the programs I need and endless youtube videos. I might just keep this machine.
That Battery Life O_O
I love this device but I disagree about the fact that you compared it to a MacBook. MacBook is way powerful than this, you can export/import & edit 4k-8k files with ease & the rendering Time is really fast. This machine is premium, I’ll give that. But it cannot do intensive tasks. So, basically comparing this to a MacBook is like comparing a slow Rolls Royce(surface) with A Bugatti(MacBook).
A bit late to the party aren’t ya
I am waiting surface laptop giveaway, when it’s end? 🙁
so obvious that he gets paid for this review, espescially when he talks about windows 10 S
Actually, compared to Apple, it can run with it…
only for fools.
nice review dominick cruz
15:38 My thoughts exactly! It’s literally just another overpriced joke, this time, with a Microsoft logo…
Yea beautiful but impossible to repair.
No Micro SD card slot, WHY? WHY? WHY?
I think for similar prices, you want to get the Surface laptop instead of the Surface Pro. You have to pay extra for the Surface Pro keyboard, Pen and the Dial if you needed. Of course the keyboard is a must have. With all that money spend on the accessories, might as well just get a Surface Laptop.
too expensive!!!
It’s not clear if you had any complaints whatsoever.
Can this handle middle end video editing? (After Effects)?
10:06 isn’t the 7200U an i5 series CPU?
macbook ripoff..
Nice review. Detailed and in-depth. Great Stuff 🙂
Its just CLEEEEAAAAAAANN!!! Period.
I am going to study IT in university and I will be programming. Will the surface laptop be a good choice?
sure Xiaomi mi notebook air has a notch but you can also open it one handed
he lied about the i7… the coloured models only ship with the i5
So I need a new laptop as I am starting my 2nd year of uni. I do computer science n my current laptop is currently dying slowly. I have been looking at the surface pro 4, surface book and now the surface laptop. I mainly use the basic programming languages and adobe products. What do you think the best option would be as I would like to carry it around to university with me. They gave us a iPad but that’s just not cutting it for me. Thank you for everyone who replies!
I don’t how you can justify purchasing this laptop when you can get the soon-to-be-released Samsung Notebook 9 Pro 13″ or 15″ with better specs for less money.
This thing is going to require adapter after adapter in a year or two. The I/O is already obsolete. I mean seriously, the SP4 which came out in 2015 has the same exact ports
