LG producing new tandem oled for laptops.LG claims that tandem panels can hit over three-times the brightness of standard OLED panels. Tandem panels consume up to 40% less power.
Who cares about brightness. 600 and its good.
Lifespan is more of a factor that tandem really improves
“This is a Sensel haptic touchpad, so you’re gonna get the best haptics in the business.” 🥰
Means a lot coming from one of the best laptop reviewers in the business. Thanks so much, Andrew! 🙌
Thank you for finally solving the issues with touchpads that windows laptops were facing.
I can't go back to non-haptic touchpads.
@@maddada You’re so welcome! 🥰🙏🙌
I got this for my wife but had to return it as it would not play some of her light games. Hope they update thing to get it to work with all apps. It was a really nice unit though
Can you make a video comparing the 13 inch and 15 inch Surface laptops? What about the LCD vs OLED Surface Pro 11? Thank you.
I bought both and the surface pro oled just isn’t better enough than the surface laptop. The laptop is way easier to deal with on the move and the 120hz, brightness, pixel density 6+ hr extra battery life, thinner bezels, lack of screen door effect, heat dissipation, and overall affordability is just better. If you’re an artist buy an iPad Pro
All I would want on the Laptop is a better coated screen and the web camera from the Surface Pro. The camera on the Laptop isn’t bad, but this one is obviously miles better. A comparison between the 13 and the 15 would be great!
@@PrestoMoto02I wonder why the laptop has better battery life when it’s only a 1 watt-hour larger battery. Basically the same battery.
I can only assume it’s due to the higher resolution on the Surface Pro
Thank Andreo for the great efforts as usual. What i didnt like in the surface is the reflective screen only I liked too much the M4 ipad the non-reflective version. That one is greater for art works and drawing under room lights
I am so excited for these Surface devices. Typing this comment on my laptop 7. I am putting my iPad 11 up for sale today, as Apple is so restricted, and I am enjoying Windows again.
The cost for the keyboard is insane. Who does Microsoft think they are..... Apple?
I don't have a issue with the price because last years keyboard works if you don't want to spend that much. If that wasn't the case it would be bs.
Got one from bestbuy bundle keyboard+pen promos for like 85 bucks, there are cheaper options and that's point you get to choose unlike the fruit company.
U can use any good wireless mechanical keyboard. Good thing they havent bundled it with surface pro
@@adan2343exactly. These falks don’t even expend 5 minutes to do their own research. MS sells cheaper keyboards for the surface.
A bigger company than Apple
Another great review Andrew love your review so good 1
Thanks 🙏
Great review. How did you measure the pwm at below 30?
Great review as always Andrew! It is great to see good webcams finally coming to the convertibles and laptops, courtesy of dedicated ISPs on Snapdragon chips. I hope the same makes it way to Intel and AMD chips as well. I would love to see next Snapdragon chips paired with a dedicated GPU.
It’s criminal that you don’t have more subscribers
Thanks
If anyone was on the fence about the Surface Pro 11 all you need to do is watch this thorough review by Andrew! There's a lot of potential here and I would definitely get this in a heartbeat. Expensive proposition it is but if you can afford it, I'd say go for it. Screen burn-in in 2024 should be a non-issue so I wouldn't let that deter you from getting an OLED display. I love that it is super bright, great webcam quality as well as internal mics. The AI effects are a nice add on with a long lasting battery life. In conclusion, I really don't see any negatives here except maybe the price which may throw off some potential buyers. Other than that and as I have a already said, it's a great product from Microsoft and worth your consideration! Brilliant review once again Andrew!! 👏😁
Looking forward to comparing it to the Asus ProArt PZ13. Thanks Andrew
Coming soon
Great review! Detachable style is not for me though. Andrew, is a review of the ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 "Coming up" soon? 💻
Just my experience… (I have the 32gb version Elite) I’m still seeing quite a bit of heat on the back of it and quite a bit of fan (though quieter). A little bit better battery - not a shocking improvement. Adobe is way behind. I’m trying to use Lightroom Classic and you can clearly tell processing is taking a long time on most tasks. I know it’s emulated. Granted, it’s new and they have some catching up. “Edit in Photoshop” action does not work at all. Tried all kinds of different versions, install order, etc. Just doesn’t work. Not taking it back as I know this will all clear up and I really like the Surface Pro form factor.
Excellent v-log.
It’s just hard to beat the surface laptop even though its not Oled. The Pixelsense screen is still pretty damn good and you don’t get the screen door effect.
the webcam is really nice in this one. so disappointing when manufacturers put a potato in, glad to see this is not the case here.
My concern is how does running a separate 4k or oled screen work with the laptops you review as separate screen? Like the Omen with only 300 nits. Otherwise I'm looking at another $500 to $1000 putting the price tag at $2000 to $2700 for a 16" laptop. I'm 70 this year so budgeting is necessary. I like the Omen 16 for 2023 which surpasses my needs and it's upgradable. But I am worried about the 300nits screen
How well and easily can we use it on lap since it got a stand ?
I mean its a "lap"top right
Not great on the lap
I would be interested in the Surface Laptop 7 15" if it had OLED. I have upgraded all devices to OLED and cannot go back.
Nice expensive pc. Nice looking with the blue color. Camera and mics are good. Display good. Would like to see it with a full size standard ssd drive instead of this odd miniature ssd. Until full software compatability is achieved with this new processor one might hesitate buying one of these pc's at this time. If you are running software applications that do not currently run on this processor then having longer battery life is not much use for you. In several months down the line these new processors as compatability issues are worked out will outshine the current Intel and Amd processors. Another great quality review.
Great review.
Personally the OLED isn’t worth it IMO, and the X Elite is also not really a massive improvement on top of the X Plus. The power play is to buy the entry model (ideally with the discount) and upgrade the SSD yourself.
The upgrades are at Apple-level pricing but the entry level LCD is a hell of a deal. I can’t really feel any difference in web dev work between the X Plus, M1 Pro or M3 Pro MacBooks (both MacBook 14” version - using ARM native toolchain on both)
Oled va lcd display video?
Can you create a comparison video of Ultra 7 vs Ultra 9 processors? I am getting Asus Vivobook S16 Ultra 7 at 1400 usd and Ultra 9 at 1600 usd. Worth adding extra 200 usd?
Great Video, Whats your thoughts one the Surface pro 11 being your one and Only machine. Including hooking up displays at Work space. Think it can handle a basic work machine?
Yes it certainly can just stick to the basics.
I have one and have yet to find a working Virtual Machine. That would be the only reason for me to return it. I really love the device to be frank, so I'm torn on if I should return it or not.
I have the 32gb RAM version hooked up to a docking station that connects to 38in LG ultra wide and works just fine.
@@WillChi23 One quick question, what made you get the Pro11 over surface laptop 7?
@@abdul9 function over form
Can you map a network drive? If Windows arm can't connect to my nas that would be an absolute deal breaker.
I connected wirelessly to my Synology NAS today.
Thankyou @@r62ewa
Will thunderbolt 3 work with the USB4 connectors? Are they officially compatible?
Yes it should work
Have always loved Surface! The Surface Pro w/ X Elite & OLED looks very promising. The performance per watt is truly impressive! However, the absolute raw performance, including the graphics, just isn't there yet. Decided to get the Surface Laptop Studio 2 w/ RTX 4060, 64GB RAM, & 2TB storage. Found an insane deal w/ $1k off. Cost the same as the top SKU of the Surface Pro 11 w/ 32GB RAM & Flex Keyboard. Not regretting my decision. Hoping the next release of the Pro has a marked step-up in the graphics arena.
I bought surface pro 9 in April and in June, after just 2 months it started to flash microsoft logo and nothing more, that's all it does. so apparently Microsoft is famous for bios problem after automatic update it happens. very dissapointed, I love the design and since apple doesn't offer something like this. it was my first and last microsoft product.
Has there been any programs outside of games that have given you trouble to run?
All the main apps for me work. Only thing not working is Google drive app
@@andrewmarcdavid that’s gotta be coming soon. Thanks for the response man
@@andrewmarcdavid Makes you wonder if google is dragging its feet because it doesnt want to support MS competing with their chromebook business.
Cand we use sd card with this device. Thank you
There is no SD card slot so you will have to use an adapter
Only a 9 on the webcam? I thought mic and webcam where superb.
Patrick bet David said this the perfect laptop for Tom Brady. Boom.
It does unless an x86 app that uses the GPU. ARM is not designed for x86 and the translation layer will not bridge it.
I really wanted to try the Surface Pro. Returned my Surface Laptop 7 for the Yoga Pro 9i and i could not be more satisfied.
If this didn’t have like zero ports I’d actually consider it for music production and on the go editing, but it’s worse than a mac regarding to ports! What gives?
Still have concerns for the ARM prosessor compatibility. Wish rhere will be an AMD 370 version would be awesome while I know that microsoft will never do it and I ll never buy this surface for myself 😂
Nothing justifies that insane price tag
But you would be happy to pay that for a n iPad Pro running a mobile OS and no way to upgrade the built-in storage?
Yeah compared to an iPad Pro with the functionality you get, it’s pretty solid. That, and you can still get the base version with 16GB of ram and upgradable storage for a grand
Apple's Silicon's Single Core performance is still unmatched
M4max will hit 28500 on geekbench6 with a 4000+ single core.
That is definitely unmatched by anything except the new ryzen 9950x desktop
Most modern software uses multicore
Like my coment if you hate adobe and windows spyware!
Once they release the bootloader it's Linux time!
Yes!!!
