I bought this laptop for the NPU-acceleration for LLMs, 45 TOPS and the Phi-Silica model. There is an API to submit inference queries directly from Windows applications. All locally on the device, no network, OpenAI or Azure needed. It's a new kind of machine entirely.
That's way more than I do. The most I would do is Photoshop with AI. But you're right. That's buying the like this. Curious to see the new ryzen and lunar lake
This will be an unpopular opinion but as long as its between a M1 and M3 in performance, doesn't get hot doing basic things, has good real life battery life and doesn't feel slow to boot then to me it's living up to expectations. But it def seems the performance could use work. I might wait a few more weeks to see how it fairs before commiting to a purchase.
Since you asked, World of Warcraft offers a native ARM client for Windows that should run well and might be a great option for testing native gfx performance.
It's the 12 core. My scores do a bit worse than everyone else's because it's hot and humid where I live in Florida. Also, on cinebench I do the 10 minute run which doubles as a thermal test. I'll look at some other videos now that mine are out to compare.
@@consumertechwarehousewhats the better screen size . Is it worth losing out on the dune and saphire color to get the larger 15” screen. Asking cause i have my saphire 13.8 inch being delivered tomorrow and just seeing if i should exchange it when it arrives for the black 15”
@@consumertechwarehouseThat's helpful info. I'm doing apps development on virtual machines so considering the 64gb that's only available at Microsoft. Great that the SSD can be user upgraded. Thank you.
@@stachujones7820 it doesn't on most other laptops. But I remember PC World mentioning it when they were at Computex. It's up to the manufacturer to determine what voids warranty or not.
Nope it doesn't. And I mentioned that half way through the video. Glad you asked that question though. I complain about that a lot on non gaming laptops.
Good to know. I don't know why I said that. My music production experience is only on GarageBand with never more than a few tracks. I should have cut that little segment out.
But the thing is though, the m4 destroys it either way. I want the best for windows. So hopefully Intel and AMD can catch up while still being efficient. Can't wait to test tnose
@@consumertechwarehouse It will catch up eventually as it has already catched up with M3 chip even 15% faster than it let qualcom bake the chip a bit more and let the app optimize and driver and firmware updates it will be a smooth ride plus apple has shifted to Silicon for what now almost 4 years now so Qualcom did a great job I think on their first try
I just got my Surface Laptop today and while I am overall quite happy with it one thing bugs me alot. When i scroll with two fingers on the touchpad and lift them up usually on other devices (both macbook and other windows laptops) the page usually scrolls a bit further. On the new Surface Laptop the scrolling basically immediately stops which feeld super harsh. If i flick really fast, or make a long movement on the touchpad it often times scrolls further after i lift my finger. It kid of feels like there is a threshold in terms of length your fingers moved or speed the fingers have to move to continue scrolling after lifting the fingers. Did you notice something similar?
I just tested that further it feels like it is actually the physical distance if i just "flick" my fingers fast it basically stops immediately while when i swipe a bit longer no matter if slow or fast i can see the scrolling continues after my fingers leave the touchpad. Depending on the speed it scrolls only a short amount or quite far. But when i just flick my fingers slow/quick the moment my fingers leave the touchpad the scrolling stops when the distance my fingers moved was under 1cm (or so)
Those are just differences between MacBook trackpad and windows. There's more polish to the Mac. But I turn off mouse acceleration and tweak the settings in terms of sensitivity. But scrolling just isn't as good. Hopefully you get used to it. It took me some time and it doesn't bother me anymore
@@consumertechwarehouse Also compared to other Windows laptops (Huawei Matebook 13s and HP Z Book) and as far as I remember all other laptops I ever used, the scrolling was just different. And I dont like it at all with the new Surface Laptop. The haptic touchpad was one of the biggest selling point for me. I prefer Microsoft Precision Touchpad drivers in terms of customisation and also in terms of the gestures it supports, but the scrolling on the new Surface Laptop 7 is just not pleasant :( Its surely a driver thing with these new sensel haptic touchpads and I assume the Microsoft Surface Studio Laptop has the same behaviour as it also has a sensel touchpad.
@@consumertechwarehouse My other response got deleted i guess, so here again: I also tested current windows laptops (work laptop HP Z Book and my "old" Huawei Matebook 13s) and both have the scrolling how I "know" it and very similar to the Macbook. So it is definately not a Mac is better thing. I am quite confident its a issue with the new sensel haptic touchpads Microsoft used on those laptops. The Surface Studio Laptop probably has the same scroll behaviour. I will definately test that out at a store. And maybe they also have some other Snapdragon X Elite notebooks or a Surface Laptop 7 in display to test out.
It's not. My biggest audience is gaming laptop videos so I was speaking to that crowd. But looks like this video got a lot more attention outside of my core audience.
If you're talking about the 3DMark tests those are rendered in Vulkan. So it's a good representation on how each platform measures those. For the other benchmarks it's just meant to give an idea of what's out there. They're all running the same benchmark on their perspective platforms.
