@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.

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

@asnodgrass 4 года назад

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.

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.

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.

@filipantoncik2604 4 года назад

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"

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.

After all the various customer reports of the surface laptop 3's screen randomly shattering on them without any sort of abuse inflicted on the machine, I can't say it's even worth considering until Microsoft addresses the issue with a revision

Yeah, there are many reasons people want bigger screens. It was strange statement from Alex.

@LazyBunnyKiera 4 года назад

It looks really nice. I'd like to see some gaming on it, and some thermal tests. Maybe even some thermal paste tests, stock vs.. kryonaut or maybe.. MAYBE even liquidmetal with maximum precautions used. And before people jump in on using LM in a laptop being super bad.. if you take precautions such as putting a seal around the cpu die, then it's not that bad. You can use a thermal pad, cut out the center of the pad to fit around the bare die, so that it creates a gasket around the die. And thermal pads are compressible, non-conductive, and cheap.

Thank you for reviewing this. Your laptop reviews are the best. Thanks. Thank you

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 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!

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.

@DanaLeeGibson 4 года назад

@@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.

It’s been 3 years i’m wondering what your experience is like now, does it still function well? I’m thinking of buying it

@rushboardtechuk 4 года назад

It depends on what surface (no pun intended) your machine is resting on when the cable is pulled out... I've seen them go flying to the ground, warping the screen so bad its chassis needs replacing. The reason they are lightweight is because still very little aluminium is used to make it safe. Most thin and light laptops don't really have great keyboards, in my experience.
