@Superkirbeh The Surface Pro is a very different product with different properties and use cases. Please don't confuse them. But yes, they have already reviewed the Surface Laptop (is the right term), and here you could see the changes: Now repairable, USB C instead of Display Port, you can switch the SSD by yourself, but not the RAM or battery (maybe battery in 5 years theoretically but only by heating the glue and ripping it from the chassis, pretty difficult to do), they come in new colors with or without Alcantara and also in 15", Windows Hello works very good, and of course updated processor with iGPU. That's all.
Isn't it all Surface products past the OG Pro and Pro 2? ngl, 3:2 on a writing tablet is great and makes the lack of good 16:10 options for a laptop hurt a lot less. long live Wacom EMR tho.
Linus said that Linus Cat Tips isn't a LMG channel, it's own by Linus itself. So maybe it's gonna be the only place where we're gonna see Linus in the future when Alex will take the place of Linus and rename it ATT.
Also it slows down thief's because they expect to just grab it while walking past your working space but instead it doesn't move an inch. On the other hand you can use it to knock out the thief and lay it on his chest so he can't move while you wait for the police to arrive.

The bit where he talks about the 4:3 aspect ratio reminds me of when my old school 'upgraded' from 4:3 monitors to 16:9 monitors, that were the exact same width, but shorter
If I'm going to have a standalone monitor, give me 16:9 or 21:9 and maybe a couple 16:9 in portrait to go with it. If it's on a laptop that the body is likely already going to be a bit taller than 16:9, why not fill the top and bottom bezel with screen instead? The width would be the same for either aspect ratio because it is limited by the size of the chassis, but the height would be increased.
@@MrMopbucket Precisely. It's not 4:3, it is 3:2. If you scale those ratio's up just so you have an easier time comparing them, 4:3 is 12:9 and 3:2 is 12:8.
Even though Alcantara feels good, it looks like absolute shit after 6 months of use. If you are a mindless consumer throwing away laptops avery year, then yeah go for it. For anyone else, who actually plan to use a laptop for many years, the metal finish is the perfect choice as it's durable, easy to clean, and won't fade and degrade from everyday use.
At first I thought this was an LTT video, so I was super confused with the tone/purpose of this video. I was even a bit put off because it just seemed weird compared to the normal LTT content. As soon as I realized this as the new ShortCircuit channel I was fine with it though. My expectations for the two channels are vastly different, which was the intent of the new channel as far as I know. I guess what I'm trying to say is good job LTT & Crew for providing more content in a way that retains the original style of LTT while bringing us something new.
2:38 so options are bad? I like how they gave you an option between the Alcantara and the metal versions, especially if you keep a laptop for a longer period of time you might want the extra durability of the metal version.
Slavik Leskiv there’s 3 variants of the Surface Laptop 3 with metal, and 2 variants with alcantara. Are you seriously trying to complain about having the choice of having EITHER?
Ironically the metal version of the SL3 has issues since there is no soft bumper with the display, and if some hard particle falls on the palm rest, it will crack the display when you close it. Totally not an issue with the Alcantara model
Well, making the screen bigger by just increasing the size with the same pixels doesn't do anything for you. Making it bigger by changing the aspect ratio and adding pixels accordingly and makes a huge difference for an ultrabook (speaking from experience). Imagine it like a phone. Just making it bigger sucks. 21.5:9 aspect ratio which has emerged recently feels great and I don't know anyone who would rather just "have it bigger physically"
Screen real estate and size are completely different. You can have a larger display but have the same or less real estate, which is just usable pixels.
You'd want metal over the alcantara for durability. Yours looks surprisingly good for how long you've been using it, but I've seen more then a few pictures from people with either type covers for surface pros, or surface laptops where it looks dirty or has rips in it (though it's usually more durable then your standard fabric). That's not something I'd want to deal with, so I went for the aluminum version.
Microsoft is having issues with the metal. For some people the screens are cracking because if the contact with the metal. They are currently investigating the issue.
Came here in 2024 to see if the surface laptop 3's USB c port connects to displays. ended up decided against the metal and 15" version for a 13" fabric. great video.
It's not a review though. He literally takes it out of the box and gives it a first impression while talking about specs and updates. A review means you used it for a period of time before talking about it.
I think the rating is according to the year they where put off. The No2 was one of the best of its generation while in the No3's geration there are better options
Any video which is just 10 minutes of Alex I will watch. He's the best member of staff at LMG because of his semi-deadpan, semi-serious attitude. Love him.
I have to say Alex your style is very unique and I am a big fan. We definitely need more Alex unboxing videos on this channel. This is pure unabashed, unashamed honesty. I mean it's not 100 percent accurate but it is 100 percent Alex. And that's why I freaking love it.

@@flarebear5346 A lot of people do light gaming on that kind of machine. If you don't want to play AAA games on the go, but enjoy smaller games, you can totally do it. I still game at Minecraft, Civ VI (and a ton of other small games on Steam) with my 2013 MacBook Pro 13 inch, which is probably less powerful than a recent MacBook Air.

Alex: "I'm not totally sure why Microsoft would want to give you the option of a not very surface laptop feel" Everyone else: "Since when did having multiple options become a bad thing?"
AL-can-TA-ra. Not entirely sure why anyone would want it - it's just a brand name of imitation suede. Or to put that another way, vinyl with a slightly fluffy surface texture. And yes, they feel nice briefly - until you've used it for a while and skin oils from your hands make it all tacky, and only then do you discover you can't clean it very well. The same problem has come up with car steering wheels finished in Alcantara. It looks all racecar and stuff, but people forget that "racecar" also means "always driven while wearing gloves."
They removed the soft coating on the laptops because dirt and oil from hands would stain it causing them to look very dirty. This is less of a problem for black models.
Sick of his one dimensional comments. just because you want a bit more room to split a screen than a 13in laptop doesn’t make you “old”. Not like 15in is an unusual size. Same with the fabric keyboard... I’ve seen people’s ones get stained. I for one am glad there’s a 15in metal version but it’s not like they took away his 13in fabric version so why is he whinging about there being more options for more people. A bit unprofessional to have that kind of mindset that only people like you exist in the world. Also I’m glad there’s a 15in model with a standard processor. Too many laptops like the MBP or XPS require you to get an overpowered machine if you simply want a high level of build quality and a 15in display. I’m glad this exists.
Really appreciate how Microsoft actually made an effort to make their unrepairable laptop somewhat easy to work on. Have only really been seeing other devices going the other way over the past several years.
What? Are you crazy? First of all who uses their power button on a laptop, I literally shut down and power up my laptop maybe once every two / three weeks. Second of all, you sit it a pretty perfect position in front of your laptop so the face recognition works awesome. My Surface laptop 3 unlocks faster than I could even hope to touch the power button. (Safety J don't know but for me it's enough. ) So good Windows Hello > Fingerprint in Power button. (For smartphones definitely fingerprint)

Alex, it's not a 4:3 screen, it's actually 3:2! And I wish productivity/business laptops would start to use this aspect ratio more often. Or at least 16:10. Gaming laptops with these aspect ratios don't make much sense, that's for sure. And I can even understand, why cheap ones only use 16:9 screens. Even though there are cheap tablets with 16:10 screens. But I'd love a ThinkPad with a 3:2 or 16:10 screen!
I've been using the surface laptop 3 for a couple of months now and I am very happy with it. Using a USB dock versus the weird proprietary charging cable has been much better. The only thing I would change about it would be an additional USB and USB C port, an HDMI port and a Micro SD card reader.
"you know...you know...you know...you know...you know..." "I don't know, I don't really get the trade-off here. Because for me , I don't need a screen that's slightly larger, maybe if you're, I don't know, OLD." Nice job alienating part of your audience.
I was thinking the same thing. He keeps saying how it's worse, but then guess on to describe how it's better. I don't know if he's just bad in front of a camera or not but I'm thinking they need to keep him behind the camera instead of in front of it.
@@lucassatie I think he needs professional coaching. You have to develop a habit of thinking before you speak when on camera. That would probably make a big difference for him. Also, don't alienate your audience by insulting them, LOL.
This channel has much more of a laid back feel (sorry for a lack of better words). You can definitely feel a different vibe from the way the review is presented, a much more relaxed atmosphere in the video that doesn't seemed forced or a video that doesn't seemed rushed.
I love the way his hosting has gone from 2 to a solid 9 in the past year or so. The XPS showcase was the first video where he looked genuinely happy while doing his job. More Alex!
OLD! Yeah, "old" people are the only people that "might" want a larger screen! Oh, I don't know WHO would want to trade off a worse keyboard for a larger screen!? I mean, WHO would ever use a laptop for ANYTHING else but typing! Maybe if someone was to invent some software that was NOT Word, and more focused on Visual things, like, oh I don't know Photos. For use is a Shop that deals with Photos? Old . . . what a tool.
@@Qytrh This whole channel is basically based on testing and reviews of 3 things. Cell phones, computers, and HUGE monitors and TV’s. So, WHO wants a larger screen? Well, apparently “they” think it is a HUGE number of their own audience. Hell, the third video on their new channel is all about a HUGE monitor.

Thank you for reviewing this. Your laptop reviews are the best. Thanks.
Thank you
Don't know why they messed with the keyboard. It was 10/10

"I don't get why Microsoft gives you an option"
- Alex 2020
Absolutely love the new channcel so far!
Keep it up!
He’s quirky, I like him lol
Really appreciate how Microsoft actually made an effort to make their unrepairable laptop somewhat easy to work on. Have only really been seeing other devices going the other way over the past several years.
Windows hello < Fingerprint Scanner in the power button
*Change my mind*
Fingerprint over face recognition anytime, exept for my work phone
What? Are you crazy? First of all who uses their power button on a laptop, I literally shut down and power up my laptop maybe once every two / three weeks. Second of all, you sit it a pretty perfect position in front of your laptop so the face recognition works awesome. My Surface laptop 3 unlocks faster than I could even hope to touch the power button. (Safety J don't know but for me it's enough. ) So good Windows Hello > Fingerprint in Power button. (For smartphones definitely fingerprint)
@@ibonitog I taped my webcam, how am I supposed to use Face Identification?
Also: placing your index finger on one specific spot takes like 2 seconds...
@@ibonitog If you allow your laptop to take an image of your face multiple times a day and upload that picture to a database where they use the data for unknown purposes, you're an idiot.
Thinkpads let you put a shutter over the camera at all times. They're for people with brains.
@@adultlunchables do you use social media and put pictures of yourself on that? Even if you don't what are they going to do with a picture of your face? They gon get your social security number? Your credit card information? What? Dont call people idiots for something that's unimportant, or anything for that matter.
Alex, it's not a 4:3 screen, it's actually 3:2!
And I wish productivity/business laptops would start to use this aspect ratio more often. Or at least 16:10.
Gaming laptops with these aspect ratios don't make much sense, that's for sure. And I can even understand, why cheap ones only use 16:9 screens. Even though there are cheap tablets with 16:10 screens.
But I'd love a ThinkPad with a 3:2 or 16:10 screen!
Outro for ShortCircuit: "Subrscribe, I guess?" :D
Thanks for the new channel!
Alex ~ "Probably 2 best laptop keyboards on the market"
Almost every ThinkPad ~ Am i joke to you?
Watching the nicest guy in Canada review his favorite laptops had aboot as much conflict as you’d expect...
if you turned that into a hackintosh you could literally just take it to a genius bar and ask for a replacement macbook
I've been using the surface laptop 3 for a couple of months now and I am very happy with it. Using a USB dock versus the weird proprietary charging cable has been much better. The only thing I would change about it would be an additional USB and USB C port, an HDMI port and a Micro SD card reader.
"you know...you know...you know...you know...you know..."
"I don't know, I don't really get the trade-off here. Because for me , I don't need a screen that's slightly larger, maybe if you're, I don't know, OLD."
Nice job alienating part of your audience.
I was thinking the same thing. He keeps saying how it's worse, but then guess on to describe how it's better.
I don't know if he's just bad in front of a camera or not but I'm thinking they need to keep him behind the camera instead of in front of it.
@@lucassatie I think he needs professional coaching. You have to develop a habit of thinking before you speak when on camera. That would probably make a big difference for him. Also, don't alienate your audience by insulting them, LOL.
Being able to replace the fabric in the new one is also very nice
Feel like this needs a bit of background music
I couldn't stop thinking how great Alex's hair looked throughout this entire video. Man's got style.
4:57 RUDE. Or if, I don't know, maybe you're an artist or something?
Yeah, there are many reasons people want bigger screens. It was strange statement from Alex.
I like the style of this channel, just chill review
Getting Started "Turn on...Come back in 2 days when Windows Update has finished"
Shadow Get an SSD man.
it's gorgeous. Tempted to have it be my next laptop. And I love the sandstone! Just a beautiful computer.
I would love it if you could do a review of the new Dell XPS 13 (9300).
Really liking this new channel. Keep up the good work. :)
0:32 end of video.
A+ Channel so far!
Paging Gamers Nexus. Would Gamers Nexus send a dozen build mats, stat!
This channel has much more of a laid back feel (sorry for a lack of better words). You can definitely feel a different vibe from the way the review is presented, a much more relaxed atmosphere in the video that doesn't seemed forced or a video that doesn't seemed rushed.
“I’d really like to finish in that one”
Gross, man.
Alex be tossing the laptop like it's pizza dough
The magic of TH-cam! 9 views and 16 likes.
I love the way his hosting has gone from 2 to a solid 9 in the past year or so. The XPS showcase was the first video where he looked genuinely happy while doing his job. More Alex!
OLD! Yeah, "old" people are the only people that "might" want a larger screen! Oh, I don't know WHO would want to trade off a worse keyboard for a larger screen!? I mean, WHO would ever use a laptop for ANYTHING else but typing! Maybe if someone was to invent some software that was NOT Word, and more focused on Visual things, like, oh I don't know Photos. For use is a Shop that deals with Photos?
Old . . . what a tool.
Now say that again without crying
@@Qytrh This whole channel is basically based on testing and reviews of 3 things. Cell phones, computers, and HUGE monitors and TV’s. So, WHO wants a larger screen? Well, apparently “they” think it is a HUGE number of their own audience. Hell, the third video on their new channel is all about a HUGE monitor.
I really like this simple and easy going format
the way he kept throwing the laptop in his hands is pissing me off
The way he kept saying Alcantara is pissing me off
I'm really enjoying these ^^
Here we are in 2020, and someone from LTT is trying to justify a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Its actually really good, (for anything that isn't gaming)
I just bought one. Had it for a week. It's the Windows equivalent of a Macbook. It does everything I need it to do, highly recommend!
Last time I was this early,
Jk I never was this early
Loved the review and pace!
