@@mabbah4396 Funny how Apple fanboys fail to understand that nothing Apple does is originated from Apple. They have copied so much from Braun and Dieter Rams that they should give him percentages.

I got this 2 days ago...yeap its been good, actually great!. MS has done a great job at tuning this thing. No fan issues nor heat problems. Battery has been great for its size.

Great first look, thanks! The webcam looks great and the sound is almost indistinguishable from your professional mic! Are you sure you switched to the mic of the webcam?
@Shadowolf1230 but there are certain programs that don't run on mac. If you use a program for work that doesn't run on mac then a mac is not best in every way
A surface laptop was my first ever windows laptop (before that I used Linux and ChromeOS) - i'm sure the great hardware has contributed to me staying on windows for a while. (i'm 42, software / unix guy and bought my first ever windows device last year)
For windows users this maybe giant leap for battery and all those AI shit but in ARM race I'm not sure of gaming, which was the major usp of windows machine.
this is honestly best windows ultrabook. I wish samsung would bring out nice colors like this, a haptic touchpad, good front facing speakers, ir sensor, no bottom intake fans because of all ecosystem features, but this is honestly the best thing we've got
Not really as I feel like AI isn’t a must have for daily computer tasks and on a downside it makes you more lazy than ever. But on the positive note, Recall isn’t here (yet) because of the massive controversy.
@@djking1168 We knew that gaming performance was going to be unacceptable based on the specifications. Snapdragon CPU powered PCs are designed for business and casual applications where users want to dabble with AI.
Microsoft has come a long way when it comes to the way that they package their products. I have a Surface laptop that I bought back in 2019 and it has been flawless.
I did my research on this laptop for a while and this is the first time I've heard that its 120hz. Is this actually true? I cant find a specsheet that shows the refresh rate
Despite the budget speakers, your recorded sound was quite good. I would like to know how functional the touch screen is across various office applications. Thank you.
If Lunar Lake is anywhere close to this in battery life and what Intel is saying, then I'm getting Lunar Lake instead for complete app compatibility. These Snapdragons are hardly setting the world alight.
@@wilko8225 Yep. What gets me is, why in the hell are their multiple versions of the X ELITE? Should be just the higher 84-watt version and of course the standard ELITE version but with higher wattage version of that one. Perhaps after some FIRMWARE updates the performance will be better, but from what I am seeing so far, I am not impressed. LUNAR LAKE definitely won't have any compatibility issues and the battery life more than likely won't be as good, but this time around I believe INTEL will focus a lot on that. Can't wait to see later this year.

Hello , I love your videos and I need your advice , I am planning to buy a laptop to help me with my education “data analytics” . What do u recommend? MacBook Air m3 13 inch / surface laptop 7 13 inch
As Aaron was showing the different colors for the Surface, I kept thinking it would be cool if Apple offered those same colors for the MacBook Air because they sure look like them! But yes, it’s difficult not to see an “Apple vibe” in these Surface laptops. Even the unboxing is eerily similar. I’m impressed to be honest but nothing from Microsoft will cause me to stray from Apple.
Good first look Aaron. Appreciate Windows laptop coverage on this Apple-focused channel. Would like you to compare this to Mac Book Air M3 -- only you could be the most fair Apple reviewer.
I’ve had my surface since college and I’m looking to getting this new. I love these laptop! Way better than apple and most of my products are from apple
Excels at nothing. It is for MS fans who love having a Surface device. That includes affiliated Windows business and Enterprise, though the latter is more likely to buy the Intel versions.
Lux presentation - looks cool! Considering buying the Surface Pro Snapdragon X elite for work. Would love to know if ON1 Photo RAW 2024.5 will even run in emulation on this thing. The Software support cant/will not answer this
It would be better to wait a couple of months. Most games and apps are not updated yet for ARM on Windows. And Qualcomm might announce the next generation of Snapdragon X Elite at the end of this year (since this one got announced 2 years ago).
@@ibraheem1224 it is by no means safe to assume it ever will made for ARM - and it is relying on specific videodrivers. So i want to know if it runs as intended under x86 emulation. Its make og break i for my schools decision on microsoft surface investments.
Hey great video man, you should try comparing it to Samsung galaxy book 4 pro, I think it’s a pretty good match ! And I’m kind of hesitant between getting a surface laptop 7 or a Samsung galaxy book 4 pro. If you could help me out that would great!
just got the 15 inch one as well but it doesnt seem like the battery is gonna do 22 hours on a charge. Maybe more like 12 unless youre not using it continuously. i havent actually let it run out yet though...
Just got my SL7, I really wish they had the OLED display and a bit better speakers because then imo it would be amazing and perfect. But still, I am extremely impressed and happy with my device, it's amazing.
So is the singlecore Geekbench score of the Macbook Air M3 2093 (as written) or 2993 (as spoken)? You also forgot to mute the studio mic for the microphone test.

I really like the color coordinated boxing. Refined experience.
The color looks nice
It is
Hope that doesn’t fade as my MacBook Air lol
The area where I rest my palm for touchpad has faded unfortunately for the rose gold colour.
Nice hardware. Pity about the operating system.
Holy.... That microphone sounds so good damn!
surface was the first brand to come up with studio mics on laptop, apple copied that later
The screen looks so spacious. I love that aspect ratio

What an interesting aspect ratio.
i think your geekbench overlay for M3 air is mistake, audio says 2993 but the overlay show 2093
I absolutely love the color.
Just bought my M3 but this device looks awesome!!
Your single core GeekBench score for the M3 MBA is odd, it benches around 3,000 not 2,000.
For windows users this maybe giant leap for battery and all those AI shit but in ARM race I'm not sure of gaming, which was the major usp of windows machine.
As always, thanks for the video, Aaron.

1:40 You need to remove the rubber feet to open the bottom plate.
I figured, but I didn’t want to rip them off if they’re glued
Thank you, great vid!
Macbook Air M3 has a SC Geekbench result of cca 3000 points, not 2000 what you state. That is a 50% difference.
I bought a surface pro 11th gen. It's on the way, do you think it's worth it?
A windows computer that lasts a day. Its perfect

Your review is to the point. Can you please test Microsoft Money sunset edition to see if it runs on ARM?
What a gorgeous device!
Can you run Power BI software?
Where is the fan intake and from where the air comes out? I am planning to use it mainly in the bed. Would this affect the airflow?
