I just unboxed the new Microsoft Surface Laptop Copilot Plus PC, and it needs a big Day One update. Here's how long it took, from opening the lid the very first time to getting to the Windows 11 desktop.

No specs but okay
ff originally is an rpg where you fight in party and you can customize those party members. i know things are moving to more real time base these days but ff15 and ff7 remake still can do it nicely. This one feels like GOW or resident evil where your dog is your atreus. quests get even boring and boring, towards the end there are some unskipabble cutscenes (cant press x to skip) that I opt to skip entirely because I just didn't care about those guys combat system are not interesting. In gow I got my ass handed to me and keep coming back until I beat all the berserker + sigrun. here I lost to svarog once and decided to just skip him and go to the final boss
It’s a shame not many games are supported. I bet if Apple added Vulkan support a lot more developers would port their games over/
if you want some good keyboards or mouss go to keychron and please for the love of god dont get a logitech master mouses
Im 20 hours in and I agree its so boring arround 13 hours in it gets really boring but the beginning is so good
For me, it's so different from the games I played growing up. It doesn't even resemble FF 1-10. Also, the battles have so much going on that it's confusing. Strangely, all of the unnecessary effects make me mentally disengage from the fights ("I'm just going to mash buttons until this is over...I can't even tell what's going on"). In the demo the tutorial fight was really fun/strategic. I'm glad I only paid $20. People talk crap about Starfield and Cyberpunk but I'm having WAY more fun w/ those.
Fc24?
Very helpful, thank you!
can't do AAA games, try cyberpunk at max settings...lol
Looks good. For me,and thinking longer term, I will buy a Mac Studio. If I spec out a Mac Mini, I.m close to a Mac Studio price anyway.
They focused way too much on random unimportant side npc dialogue 🤷 Main characters had less dialogue 🤣
Can i play games on this device for free?
Fortnite I guess
Bruh it’s gonna heat up example: Me watch one vid on my Mac:🔥🔥☄️🥵🥵
@hodanf2829 it has heating issue?
lol AGREED!
But can it run crysis tho 😗😗😗???
Is it FREE or does it require a sign in?🤔
free for everyone, but paid users get more tokens everyday.
@@fiercelypolygons3696 Awesome, 👍 what does the o stand for?
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:5) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:7) When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Mark 2:17)
where can i buy this screen?
i keep at my opinnion. apple is not ment for gaming, you have to make consessions. i love the mac for video editting, graphic design, and for the fact it does not get slow after each update unlike these crappy windows based pc's, wich store way too many useless montoring file in the background, and each update there are more added. this has a value, and should be praised by mac owners, not lame gaming specs.
I'm about halfway through it, this pretty much validated everything I was feeling. It's a good game, but why is it like this? FF fans are so crazy as well, its like every time you mention you'd like it to be old school turn based JRPG with lots of items, spells, colorful cast of fun characters, they just crucify you by saying every FF was completely different than the last one, and this is what they do. Were they THAT much different until 11 came along?
CS:GO ?? That should be the metric
Love the belch
It's incredible how amazing the boss fights and gameplay is only to be diluted by its boring dialogue and poor pacing. If the gameplay is major selling point, why not have more quest with more fighting and less talking between fights? I'm spending most of my time in the boss rushed and challenges because that's where I'm enjoying the game the most.
the non pro variant can show higher refresh rate at for example 1080p or 1440p?
Mr. Ackerman, you were my favorite Editor at CNET. I was wondering what happened? Did you leave CNET or are you not doing videos there. CNET sucks now.
Can you play genshin impact on mac mini?
Interesting to hear you all reflect so thoroughly on industry shifts over these years. Miss working with you and great to hear your voices, Dan and Roger!
Damn I cant do anything without being bored
I freelanced for most of these outlets at some point. I've met some of you at CES and I recognize the others from their previous positions. You all got me thinking about CES, and one of my best trips out there had Snoop at Tao and LL Cool J at the CNET booth when I was freelancing for them. Or maybe those were different years... it's all a blur at this point. Now I'm on the hunt for a copy editor/writing coach job, but those are quite hard to find these days (keep me in mind when you move on to your next great thing!). Like you all said, everyone wants commerce writers, or even people who can pretend they reviewed something in a lab to fool Google SERPs.
This is a panel of legends
What monitor is this?
apples studio one
Literally on my phone right now as the npcs are talking about something
To buy something so overpriced & to get something else so overpriced so that the first one works properly is beyond my imagination. Apple is a good company and a scam at the same exact time!!! This is unbelievable to say the least…….
2500 fps Minecraft 💀 (Rekord void map)
god this is so boring
Why not buy a steam deck?
What is the Name of the last Game?
You never answered your question...
So... No then...
Great idea! I've got about 7 pounds to be recycled, so I'm sure I can spare some to try this!!
Is it toxic to put that stuff in the oven?
Yes it is, I would definitely not cook in that oven anymore.
Please get a toaster oven dedicated for this! And replace or at very least scrub that oven good. This can cause cancer very quickly. Just want to let you know! Be safe!
This is a great idea definitely have to try
Thanks for sharing, I was thinking about it as well, but I heard that you should not use the home oven due to toxic fumes; I'm planning to buy a small toaster oven to do so. All the best.
Man, this game was super boring. I knew I wasn't crazy.
apple is broken
I’m watching this while half listening to a cutscene hahaha 🤣
