The 13.5" Surface Laptop is FINALLY competitive this year. The AMD base model is pretty good value and has great battery life.
Thought on nr200p please review more pc cases
Wait for an hour for Apple event
Pls review the omen and legion devices ....too much phones going on lately ...I expect too much from this channel I guess but...just a request ..❤️
the 2021 iPad Pro that will be released tonight will be better I guess. Do a stream on Discord!
I want to see you review the sony xperia 1 iii 🙂
Company:
Over 100 hours of battery life*
*When plugged in to the outlet
Or sleeping. 1000hr probably.
*becomes a bomb after 100th hour
@KASHIF SHAH 🤣
😞😞😞
@ODIN Force well technically your hand is a mortal being so it's not unlimited
Dude. I can't stress enough how efficient/refreshing you are, jumping into the topic right a-f'n-way. You're not a comedian, you know it and you don't waste our time posturing. You've understood that having informative, clearly stated facts is 'personality' enough. Excellent job.
I'm so tired of all these "comedians" *Shakes fist in air!"
Right! I find him and Marques Brownlee to be the more professional and serious youtubers. My go-to when looking for an opinion on a device.
@@mherrera7111 mkbhd is good but I find him just a bit too over produced, like the quality is a little too heavy.
Dave makes his videos feel more personal while mkbhd feels like it's coming from a big company, if that makes any sense
@@ai00436 I understand. You're right. It does feel more personal with Dave
@@ai00436 The irony is, MKBHD has always done it all by himself. He has a couple people help him now, just due to the logistics of how much content he makes, but if you watch MKBHD videos from a few years ago you'll see him in his college dorm room still trying to pump out the highest quality videos he possibly could. The reason it looks overproduced is MKBHD is really into cameras and video aesthetics, he isn't a camera review channel but he talks about his gear from time to time, and he has a massive collection of very expensive camera equipment. It really is all him, but he's pushed the quality so high to the point that it no longer looks like it's made by a single person.
11 hours of battery is lightyears ahead compared to the mere 2 hours of battery life I currently have 🤣
My laptop's current battery backup is 5 minutes 😂😂😂
@@shubhamnain5511 hey it's something 😂
My lapto.. oh I mean my fridge cannot be turned on without connecting it to the power 😂
M1 MacBook lasts even longer
0 on mine as battery has to be replaced monthly on HP laptops when they first die :/
“Someday I’ll have a laptop with more than 2 cores.” That’s a happy thought!
Yes..I'm having 6core laptop! Just moved from 2core.
Using 2 core laptop for my entire life... From core2 duo to i7 5500u to i5 5350u to i3 10110U. One day I'll upgrade to a 10 core or higher laptop. It will probably be in the ddr5 era. :)
My Mac has 6 core
Someday I'll have a laptop....
Using an old MacBook with 2 cores. Tomorrow I upgrade to a brand new G14. I cannot wait
I will always take this guys advice, he make amazing quality content and he is honest.
he put g pro superlight in a tier just because it doesn't have usb c
@@fuju3695 Yea makes sense, what kind of ancient tech doesn’t put at least one usb-c
@@fuju3695 yeah that’s pretty fair
I bought based on him once. Regret it. Not entirely his fault as we always forget/overlook the longevity of the device as a part of decision.
@@fuju3695 makes sense, I would be mad if a company used micro usb which is 20 years old at this point
I've been watching many reviewers on youtube such as MKBHD and whosetheboss, etc. And I'd say you're my favorite. You always go straight to the point, without having an excessive intro and cringy reactions. Just pure, unbiased reviews. Keep it up, Dave.
MKBHD was always boring to watch and after he said he hated white people i stop watching this tool.
@@xibeon wut
It's his thing
@@xibeon you gonna link the video where he said that? Or are u making up some bs
@@xibeon you a crybaby.
Dude, you'll never know how much i appreciate your lack of background music. I think it's crap and i love it that you do it without it. Thank you!
Calling out Microsoft on their 19 hour claims but still recommending their product. I appreciate this level of criticism and appreciate for good products.
Thank you for including Fan Noise in your reviews.
It's become a very important consideration for many.
It’s because it’s competing against the new MacBooks which are very quiet
@@LorianandLothric not quite but literally fanless and underpowered.
@@stuffcoolboys Underpowered? These M1 chips are powerful.
@@LorianandLothric yep, extremely underpowered for everything except web browsing.
@@stuffcoolboys lol why do you talk about things that you don’t know about? Do the research yourself. I’m not going to educate you.
Dave’s vids are always so relaxing, informative and honest!
Agreed, I think it's the lack of music. A lot of popular reviewers throw in a ton of music
I loved my Surface Laptop 3 and the battery absolutely soured the experience for me. Happy to see Microsoft gave them the bump they needed, but my i5 would also run like a hot freight train juggling PowerPoint, Zoom, and 5 Chrome tabs. My M1 is absolutely silent under the same workload and doesn't even get lukewarm without the fan on the same experience. It's a tough sell for some, but the Laptop 4 is at least more competitive.
then my man throws in a shang chi scene, epicness and everything about this is just so relaxing
Dave will do the cool pose after saving everyone on a crashing tram...!
i am really excited because my brains goes like : hollywood + chinese fighting style movies = great freaking movie
Dude I was just thinking that Dave and simu could be buddies haha
This is y we need this guy 4:35
Honest to his audience(us the customers) no matter what company it is. He does his review honest & best possible! Love Dave2D ❤️💙
We kinda know that by now.
Wish these big tech companies gave more realistic numbers of battery life forwecustomers. the ideals number just don't make sense, not saying it's not true, but misguide consumers one way or other.
@@yifanzhu1470 The thing is, if one company decided to do that, the uninformed consumer might think that it's worse, even though its actually the same, so thw might lose some sales. Every tech company would have to do that for it to work.
This is nonsense. He and other reviewers said Macbook Air M1 was a profound improvement. Now he's saying MS surface 4 is equal. What's going on?
@@worldwidehappiness I pointed this out but had my comment deleted. $999 MBA blows these machines out of the water in CPU/GPU performance but he's saying performance is similar. It's bizarre!
I am a big fan of your videos. I find your videos quite objective. You get to the point without much beating around the bush and you seem to cover all the concern areas while comparing two brands pretty well. Keep up the good work, dude.
4:53 I really appreciate the work you have done. This is what a TH-camr can contribute to the tech world, which is to check if those big companies have fooled the public. This is more or less like an investigation journalist. When it comes to laptop reviews, I always watch Dave's videos.
I personally love the color offers of the Surface lineup, especially the blue one. I think Apple needs to make their products more colorful.
Everyone else: "Apple event AHHH"
Dave: haha Laptops go brrr
Not only that, "Microsoft laptops" too...
@@user-he1rn5uu5w Maybe I didn't get the joke, but he says "Microsoft Laptops" because these literally are Laptops from Microsoft.
@@GreenCinco12Official the joke here is that dave dropped a video about Microsoft laptops which people don't really care about during the apple event, which people, significantly more as compared to Microsoft
care significantly more about as compared to microsoft*
But M1 in iPad pro
I feel like Dave knows exactly what everyone wants because I wanted to see this exact comparison but no one had done it yet! Dave2D has got to be one of the best laptop reviewers there are!
Ikr, it's like he constantly watches people's discussion and bring the best video's.
Keep doing the great work man!
My exact reason for following him back in 2017!
wb Linus Tech Tips?
As usual, your right on top of it and is why I’m a fan of your channel reviews.I really trust in what your saying.thank you for sharing and may this year be kind to you and all of us worldwide....
Thanks for keeping your reviews mostly short, it's appreciated.
Heyyy, the man is back!
yeah he was gone for too long. would be good if he could explain why he kept some of us worried for more than a week....
@@amashaziz2212 maybe because of a spring break for a week. he lives in toronto (im pretty sure) and in ontario there was a spring break that lasted a week last week which is why i think he wasnt uploading at that time
@@aname7295 oh i see. thnx for the info :-)
Greetings from a newcomer in Canada, Dave!
Music in end comes in such a seamless that when it comes some times i get confused and start to look for my phone music is coming from my phone!
Exactly the choice I was contemplating. I have watched Dave2D and my day is complete!
Idk, but there's something undeniably soothing about his background 😌
Yep
Yep
like his intro right?
It is amazing. I met Dave at a bar once and picked him up. We wen't back to gis studio to film a.....intimate video that will never be posted hopefully! Really great guy and location.
@@Tiralful lmao
I'm impressed with the positive reception to the laptop 4
Thank you very much for this review. I really was looking for a thin and light Windows device and I was thinking about to buy one of these for days. Now after I watched your Video, I was quite convinced, that this is the one I will purchise. Now I have the device at home and I couldn't have a better device for what I need it trough the day. A big thank you for your really great review!
Great video, as always. The opposing corner pinch to align the Surface laptops at 1:37 and again at 6:51 ... you’re my TH-cam OCD twin.
Dave starting with "SO" rather than saying alright/okay! 😂😂
I thought I was the only one that noticed it 😂😂😂
this is not a brewstew video
Whenever I hear that outro music start swelling up, I can't help but think that it's Dave playing himself off.
Yeah right XD
wdym I don't get it.
@@destituteanddecadent9106 It kinda feels like Dave playing it himself
@@srisutharsan3089 ah I see (I don't but I get what they meant lol)
All I can see is the shiny lights in the videos. Thanks for the art direction :D , good review of the light.
as always, short, fast, but .. extremely details and information. Like Dave !
The heavy bass in intro❤️
and it's got touch, which is another attribute worth mentioning I think
Clean, straight to the point from the very beginning, not sound, not necessary actually. Perfect length. Thanks Dave!
Dave your videos are therapy. Best reviews always.
Today we might get two videos right? Apple event 😉

I was waiting for this! ❤️
Great review.. you really can't beat this dude's honesty when it comes to battery life.. love it ! Subbbedddd
What I love from AMD is that they can trail M1 in both performance and battery life, using the same old x86, although thermal is still an enemy. This shows that x86 isn't over yet, and there could still be ways to squeeze more out of it. Still, if AMD gets their ARM CPU (or was it SoC?), I'm gonna be just as happy since it's almost 0 migration for us, Linux users.
the whole cpu evolution is a play. microsoft asked for their amd chips to be twice as energy efficient as it was designed to be, and amd delivered it within weeks.
intel and amd have the entire future planned ahead, and they have cpus that are even byond quantum computing as well. becuase quantum computing is an overrated hype thats not well understood and not at all fitting what consumers or even businesss execute. And quantum computing is a scam to farm money from investors without even delivering an working prototype that does get half the answers wrong because its scientifically not even possible to make noiseless.
i am much more interested in theevolution of software, as that is where everyone is capable to compete. and the open source community and inux doesnt really seem to provide, making me a real fan of microsoft for pushing companies to move to security, AES, TPM, encryption and all that. Microsoft is a wonderfull company, and their products last 10 years under heavy load. while competitors other than apple fail within 2,5 years under heavy load.
Hey Dave, I really like your honest reviews on laptops, I trust you more than other reviewers because you keep the average consumer in mind. That being said, I do have a suggestion for you.
You should talk a little more about the repairability (other than the hard drive and the RAM) of the devices you talk about. Many machines look really good on paper, but they're a nightmare to get fixed if they go bad. If you can fix them at all that is. Some fruity companies lock down their devices really hard and that's keeping me from buying them.
Thanks! Best and most relevant review so far!
Just a recommendation. Could you do a yearly review wherein you tell us the best laptops under different categories like Battery, Budget, Gaming, Video Editing?
Really love your content though
Still waiting for the Legion 5 Pro 3070 Review!
look at shortcircuit for preview. I'm personally waiting for the M15 r5 Ryzen edition review!!
@@amashaziz2212 I wish M15s went ryzen. I got an m15 with a 2070 and an intel i7 and the screen cover literally melted in under a month lmao, CPU was hotter than GPU 24/7
@@maanmurry7275 Alienware m15 just went ryzen
If you type a lot, the Surface Laptops are a great choice. I love the keyboard on Laptop 3!
thanks for this video. Really useful
Great review, thank you! By the way, what about the camera? These Covid19 days I find a good camera is more important than I thought.
Honestly, out of all the tech reviews I have ever seen, this one must be the best and most professional one!
Most tech reviewers aren't good. There are only a few who are knowledgeable enough to produce good content.
Linus also is amazing they're both my go to also MKBHD is doing great reviews as well but those 2 Dave and Linus stick to the ground bases and more closer to their Audience
@@shadyworld1 yeah linus is also amazing, but what I meant with my comment is that this review specifically is one of the best ones I have ever seen.
Does he mention how much RAM he had when performing the gaming tests?
I love the aspect ratio you make your videos in. Perfect for full screen on iPhone
one of the problems with reparability that i found is that none of the parts seem to be available anywhere even for the laptop 3
Stripper strips in front of Dave:
“No thanks”.
Shows Dave a laptop with super long battery life:
“How much?”
He was like shut up and take my money!
I'm looking forward to 11 DAYS of claimed battery life. Gonna be a claim changer
You can do that already, just carry around a big battery
@@RennieAsh True, there are some great power bank backpacks out there
watching on my M1 Mac Pro. I bought just because you recommended. and it delivered more than what I expected. Thank you bro.
I've been waiting for your review! I'm currently on Surface Laptop 1 and debating if I should wait before upgrading.
I had the option to trade in my surface laptop 3 for a surface laptop 4 recently. The 3 was great. Without the doubt the best laptop I've ever had, and I really doubted the 4 would be any better. But it only ended up costing me 20 bucks for the upgrade, so seemed a no brainer. I was very wrong. The 4 is way better than the 3. Not in any very obvious or flashy way, expect the battery life. The battery life is almost double on the 4.
So if the difference between the 3rd gen and the latest 4th gen is noticeable, I can only imagine the difference between the 1st and the 4th gen!
Thanks for this. Funny how few TH-camrs reviewed this ... Compared to the M1...
@jo e that does not make sense lol even in this review he pretty much confirmed that the m1 is better in every aspect.
M1 was kinda ground breaking and Surface is playing catch-up. If this was sports, the media would give prime attention to the league leader right.
@@BiggMo yes but when that happens, the teams compete in the same league. The Surface laptop is a windows laptop. People who want a windows laptop care jackshit about the m1
@jo e yeah apple processor have proven superior to both AMD and Intel who have been manufacturing processor for over 20 years it is worth the hype .
Its you who is salty and cannot accept that right now apple has a far superior product even Dave took the air let's bring in the 16 inch pro and then compare
It's crazy that Microsoft Claims 19 hours so that it can compete 20h claim of MBP-M1 on the paper. People would think: "Oh 19 hours, thats almost like 20" :)
It's pure misleading marketing. While M1 can hit the 20, MSurface 4 can do this probably only with display turned completely off. :) I mean 14.5 hours vs 19 is 23% deviation.
I was about to send out a search party. Feel like I haven’t seen you in a while.
Stop
dude your presentation is good. but good to see a little bit more of the laptop.
Straight, objective info. No fanboy crap or excess bias here. Worth a sub for this alone.
the base in you intro hits too hard man
I bought the 13.5" i5 16Gb version on release day. So far, I'm loving the laptop. Build quality is top notch.
Heard that there are issues with the keyboard and the hardwear in which when you press on it, it moves... does it actually happen?
@@melo3427 I have the all-metal version. Nothing moves when pushing the keyboard except the keys, as designed.
Pretty much the only reviewer on any platform that is genuine and honest for the consumer.
DAVE. Youre the best reviewer out there that is pure review, no over editing, no selling vibes, this is the real stuff.
i love how he jumps straight to the point!
Bsa7a l7sana a ba Dave. #Moroccanviewers.
ba dave hhhhh
Just love how clean dave’s videos are. No fluff or stupid 3 minute long intros like some other tech reviewers
What about heat output? Do they get really warm compared to m1? Also that medium load has quite a difference in DB for me. Quite good but not yet good enough
Yes Dave but the IPad with M1 just suffocates the Surface lineup unless one specifically needs Windows OS.
the ipad is a laptop at this point tbh
did u guys notice how he avoided the question on whether the surface of the mac is better
Yes because they're similar but it's really up to the user to decide what's more important for themselves.
Keep making such genuine videos 💙💙💙
I respect your reviews and you are a very reliable guy when it comes to tech opinions, but I have actually reached high numbers when it come to battery life in my Surface Book (1st generation) back when it was new... I consistently got between 10~12 hours of local video playback which was on par of what they originally claimed. Right now my battery has quite a bit of wear and degradation due to 4.5 years of heavy use, so my battery life is about 75% of what it used to be with over 1000 cycles for each battery (tablet and keyboard base).
So yeah, the Surface Book hit big numbers, but of course that's with a big ass battery as well.
He is genuine to us. That's the difference from others
You're talking like there's no one else. Come on!
@@Deinorius that’s the point
"It'll last you 19 hrs if you don't use it!"
Is Microsoft talking about their laptop here or ......... 🤔🤔🤔
Great video Dave2D you are the man. I think its also worth pointing out that the Surface laptop, unlike the mac, has a touch screen and even is compatible with the surface pen (which is handy to sign documents and the like). Also you did not even mention the webcam which is supposidely quite good, although not quite as good as the surface book and surface pro line.
Dude I love the way u show your devices without cases but how do u store them all where and with cases or not ?
Honestly an 11hr from a x86 architecture vs 13hr from ARM is actually incredibly impressive
Lol its 11 vs 20 not 11-13 , coz Microsoft achieved 11 hours only never the claimed 17 but apple achieved their 20 hour claimed at their given settings ,but 13 hours is what you will get on normal use .
Master Reviewer... straight and to the point videos as always... LOVE IT
Love your honesty !!!!
I am still interested in the pure performance on the new surface laptop. You said the performance is good, but what does that mean? Maybe test it with a real world use case like compiling firefox (cpu intensive), or rendering a video (gpu intensive). Would be interested how it compares to the M1.
I'm so curious about how these laptops would run Linux. Just for the sake of curiosity and see how they perform.
Might be a dumb question but is Linux ARM compatible?
@@willem2099 Yes, the most famous case is the Raspberry Pi, which runs Raspbian, a Debian-based Linux distro for the Raspberry. But if you're asking because of the M1 Mac Chip, it doesn't run there, yet.
OMG Dave didn't begin his video by saying "Alright" or "Okay", are you okay Dave? is everything alright?
Nice video man. I appreciate it!
I like the video starting/intro. audio and video👍
I’m really glad the Surface is heading this direction. I’ve always wanted a MacBook-like Laptop that ran Windows and it seems like they’re finally catching up (for now). :)
I’m impressed. Didn’t expect Microsoft to come out with a Surface that can rival the M1 Macs this soon.
@@LorianandLothric When a company of this scale finally brings it's act together, it's usually something really significant over it's previous products, finally we are seeing some competition and it's not going to be only braindead customers buying macbooks over windows laptops, and that Microsoft was ready to strike back.
@@retrogamer2503 Considering that most people still buy Windows laptops over MacBooks, I don’t think you should be concerned about “braindead” customers only buying MacBooks regardless.
Also, you may want to reconsider using tribal language when referring to people who use different tech products than you. It’s not a sports team or political party, there’s no Team A vs Team B here.
ive heard on the intel macs you can install windows on them
Hey Dave, my girlfriend asked if you could send us the link for the lights you've used. She loves it. :'D
Thank you
I just bought one (AMD) and your review is the first honest one I read out of 20. Subscribed.
What do you think of the new HP Envy 14 inch? That's also doing something relatively novel wrt configuration, offering good value for money (seemingly).
I would love to get a teacher like him! ❤️😇
Love when companies compete...pushing their boundaries and making better products...i hope intel wakes up more...
Great review like always BUT even better that light grey G-Shock watch on the wrist. What model is it?
Used to love their products until I spent 1800e on a Surface Pro 5. For the money I paid it was a bad device, after 2.5 years of basic use for school the battery only gave me 45min, 1 hinge broke, 2 keyboards broke from their connection and now the charging port broke wasn't able to charge anymore so it's finished. Seeing what the M1 chip is capable of the Macbook is going to be my go-to device when the new ones come out.
It used to be unimaginable to have impressive battery life combined with decent performance in a lightweight device without fan noise.
Along came the MacBook Air M1.
Dave you're able to charge your Surface Laptop via USBC as well. Surface Connect is great, since it makes it easier for your laptop to not get ripped out of a coffee table. I always wondered why apple got rid of Magsafe
8:48 love the smooth outro music 🎶 🎶:)
Thanks for sharing Dave. Just one quick question: Why did you compare the Surface Laptop but not the Surface Book with the new Mac?
10-11 hours is definitely enough for me, it's a laptop after all. Nice improvement. Thanks for your video!
Problem is though, the processor is usually throttled when running on battery power. I’m surprised Dave2D did not mention this 🤔
@@huggyuk No it's not.
Even on balanced profile you barely lose 10-15% performance. My Ryzen 5 3500U VivoBook doesn't loses performance on battery! At all!
Neither will this!
It is a..... Myth of sorts that comes from Gaming Laptops. In Gaming Laptops too, the GPU is often given priority so the CPU does slow down, but it is simply because they are Gaming Optimized and CPU doesn't matter as much in Gaming.
Plus those Gaming CPUs can still outperform Ultrabooks on battery sooo.....
@@nikhilpaleti3872 it's dropped but you might not noticed it and it's has been a long problems with windows laptop idk why but I will really noticed when you used it for editing or any performance usage
@@MrAndika747 Dude. It happens, but only on Gaming Laptops. NOT on such Ultrabooks.
It is just a foolish myth run by iSheep as usual
If you want to, be my guest, flip out your Windows Ultrabook, put it in Balanced Mode (default) and run tests.
It is really negligible performance loss. And since you're talking long term, my dear, ALL chips throttle on or off battery, even ARM does. Even my MBP 13 and Nitro 5 hitch during renders.
If you're too ignorant to not want even 1% performance drop on battery..... Idk what to say.
@@nikhilpaleti3872 chill out pajeet.
your videos are so clean. it has no useless background music 😂
Great review!! 👍
everytime they released a new one it always better that the old one!! 😍😍
Honest reviews love it 😊 brother
