Surface Laptop Studio Review Ended in DISASTER 

@@techdictator9116 Good one? What is a "good one" about that? It's not a joke.

@@ToTheGAMES Ikr wtf

Word...

pretty sure if he was just patient enough they would figure out how to get to that screw. although it is unacceptable that manufacturers hide places you need to reach for disassembly, it's also done for aesthetics of the chassis, and that's also catering to casual users who care about the 'clean look'.

I would've run my fingernail along the underside till I felt a dip. Its worked in the past.

tbf to them they said 2022 for the repairability and this product was designed way before the announcement of the right to repair support thing. and also this laptop is supposed to look minimalist and most of the people who are into devices like these shop in that price range too. but they still shouldn't have made it in such a way that it'd break after taking it apart. it could've been the new test laptop for sound quality over on shortcircuit

@@kaneki1056 Thing is, the fact that you can't open it without looking for hidden screws means you can't even open it to clean it. That's a huge factor for durability of a laptop.

@@clnetrooper fair enough, but then again the people who are into this segment of products probably don't bother to do any kind of cleaning work on it themselves unless they're a tech nerd like some of us. the buyers for it probably get it serviced or some shit if it slows down and won't be worried about having to pay to get it checked or something. although i do think that they could've hidden the screws in such a way that it's easy to access and remove them without fucking other stuff up. they're a huge company and i'm sure they could've figured it out

The heck are these replies?

@@Leonard.L.Church I've reported them :P

The sticker isn't to hide the screws, it's for the pen wireless charging which can't be done through metal. So... Hiding the screws is just a convenience.

Also having the battery on the bottom plate makes replacing so much easier as you can work on it without fear of damaging the rest of the device.

Wait until you hear that Dell hides screws under the keyboard. I have a Dell Inpiron 3000 and disassembling it was a pain the butt. I wouldn't know that you'd also need to remove the keyboard and unscrew some couple screws in there for the back cover to come off. 🥴

@@iamwisdomsky I have seen laptops with the keyboard fucking riveted and had to break it off

Now that the screw locations are known, why not remove the sticker hiding the 2 side screws and remove the screws so that furure servicing would be more straightforward?

lol

I legit read this comment right as he said the ad in the video. Very strange feeling haha.

exactly, my sp3 works relatively well till it isn't. now it just sits under my tv as an entertainment set. barely able to do anything other than light browsing and movies. battery is worse too

Yeah, I got a used Surface Pro 3, because it seemed so cool. And yes, Microsoft outdid Apple three ways: 1. It's better than an iPad; 2. It's more expensive than an iPad; 3. It's harder to repair than an iPad.

@@michaelwright2986 Was thinking about getting an used surface pro 5, and this makes me drop the idea like a hot potato

@@mikairu2944 I bought a Surface Pro 3 used at a good price, thinking I could replace the battery if it needed it. Only then I discovered that replacing the battery is like open heart surgery, and the most professional sounding outfit who gave me a quote said they only gave themselves a 50% chance of opening it up without cracking the screen. It's a great device--really, really good, and if you can get a good price which allows for the fact that you will not be able to replace the battery, I wouldn't want to persuade you against it. But you need to know about the unrepairability, first. Also, I thought I would run Linux on it, which kind of worked, but not perfectly, and I don't know enough to do all the tweaking that's needed to get it really smooth. Pity: Linux Mint on a Surface would be such a calm, convenient device to take with you everywhere. I think Microsoft offers an exchange scheme for Surfaces: unfortunately, that's no longer available for the Pro 3, but you might look into the costs of that and budget for it for when the battery life gets too low for you.

Got really annoyed that I took the time to learn how to switch the screen on my Surface Pro 4(which got the hardware failure that happens to pretty much all Surface Pro 4 screens), only for the battery to die two months later...

Framework: _GET OUT OF MY WAY YOU PEASANTS_

"Our proprietary sticker technology allows for the thinnest possible laptop. " Wouldn't it be thinner WITHOUT the anti-repair sticker?

@@goosebyte it's not even thin either

Fair phone : *what?*

Hiding screws under stickers doesn't prevent it from being user serviceable. However it does prevent consumers from retain the same levels of fit and finish after servicing. I visited the local Best Buy and took a look at the SLS unit on display there. The "stair tread" is one continuous piece around the unit, with no apparent seam around the pen charging area. If that doesn't give away the fact that it's plastic I don't know what does. The tread cover piece has a different feel to the touch than rest of the chassis as well. To be fair to Linus, he was going in blind, and the Microsoft rep he was in contact with fed him bad information. Had he investigated further he could've figured it out, but production schedule and all that. I don't think there's anything awfully wrong with the path of entry into the SLS. The modularity deserves some criticism, but it's not materially different than the Flow X13 I'm using right now (only the NGFF SSD is replaceable). The battery is glued, which again deserves some criticism, but at least this time it's glued to the back lid and not the keyboard deck. In this case, Microsoft's big mistake is not publishing the service manual. Had they done that, I would call SLS' serviceability below average but acceptable.

It's clearly not...

@@fjjwfp7819 a not glued chassis and a removable ssd is literally STANDARD Lmao plus the hidden screws under camouflaged plastic stickers and the screws under the removable(but clearly made so if you remove them you can't put them back) rubber feet is very anti-right to repair hiding basic (should be easily accessible) aspects of a device for maintenance

@@mura_saki To add on that, dust cleaning and TP swap. Look at the mainboard design. IF you want to change the TP and clean the dust out of the device, you need to remove the mainboard. Just... WHYYY?

@@mura_saki its designed to look minimalist, some people hate seeing screws on their devices, and most of those people usually shop around this price

When was MS's statement about Right to Repair, also that means they provide the info and parts to repair. Also when was the laptop designed, most likely before the MS statement. Right to Repair doesn't mean it's EASY to take apart. Even Louis said that, once or twice.

hahahaha

These things last 2 years at most before they get suspiciously slow....

in less than 3 years.

@@Fyre0 i've serviced my 2019 XPS 15 yesterday. Heck of a difference in terms of noise from the fans and (though untested) probably higher load performance. Even on non-upgradeable laptops, as long as they are using fans for cooling, the end user should have a way to clean or replace those!

"E-waste in 5 years". And here I am using my notebook for 10 years without open it.

@@felipeaugustobatista6444 I guess it all depends on what you need the laptop for. If a ten year old notebook still meets your needs, that's great! Chances are it still has at least some upgrade path (probably RAM and hard drive) at that age. My five year number was meant to be more of an average across the full range, from those who still get everything they need out of old hardware to those ultra power-users who need to upgrade every year. I tend to find myself somewhere in between, not needing the "latest and greatest" but still wanting to extend the machine's life with a few upgrades before shelling out for a whole new one

i had an old lenovo laptop that I almost broke back in the day because for some inexplicable reason there was a screw under the keyboard (???) that you had to pop out and unscrew first before you could remove the back plastic panel. makes NO sense and i would have broken it for sure if not for youtube tutorials

@@kartiiik That's very common among older laptops! Usually used to hold the optical drive and/or hdd-bay.

Hardware Enthusiast and MSP Tech here, can confirm it's a pain working on certain laptops because of hidden screws, needing to remove the keyboard, plastic clips that break even if using proper tools, hidden ribbon cables, soldered components, you name it. Point is, it's my literal job and my specialization to take these things apart and even I get frustrated with these sorts of things. I really hope companies like Framework give the industry a proper kick in the pants. HP and Lenovo... I'm looking at you, get your act together!

God that's a mood. I sell old laptops for a living and sometimes I just get sick of a convoluted disassembly process and decide the hit to value is worth not taking an eternity to get the hard drive out and go full caveman.

@@Henry_Jr_Watsson Yeah my old dell inspiron had some screws that I had to first pop out the keyboard to access them to too but that meant a way easy to replace keyboard lol (harder than "replacing" a dedicated usb keyboard but still easy with some cheap plastic tools).

Fking bots go crazy today...

Also the fact that they didn't even have an SD card slot LMAO even apple has them.

@@VideoWatcher8888 if Apple has them and you don't, that's just sad

If there was such commentary from MS, it should've been added to this video, right in 14:23

Yup, the older Surface Pro 7 tablet is like 10/10 unserviceable.. Heat gun needed to remove the glued on screen, integrated EVERYTHING. Glued in battery. If its broken, toss it.

Isnt it funny that they made this ugly mouse from recycled plastic waste in the ocean......and then produce something like this? :-D

They said they would start doing that in 2022, while I'm not excusing them, don't hold that against them, because they never claimed that for before 2022.

Lesson: Never trust Microsoft

If he isn’t dropping it, he’s straight-up breaking it.

It wasn't dropped though, sadly lol

He broke it harder than saber breaking the holy grail

@@EghosaUgbo 💀

the amount of p### bots in here

I remember a keynote from Microsoft, though I can't remember what year it was, where Satya Nadella opened up a Surface (Book? Pro? Iunno) (although he noted that the screws had bee pre-removed) to show that you could get in fairly easily if you needed to. They obviously didn't say it was a jab at Apple (who had recently made their machines even less serviceable), but it very much felt like that at the time.

@Anne-[S]EX-Vlog Go to My Channel dude, this comment is completely coherent. are you a bot or a person?

@@winspaarkiebarkiebarker they are both shit

right to repair movement is all about having part available for repair, it's all about computer shops not the users

@@e21big well the schematics and user guides can also help end users. but yeah it is mostly about the shops

@@e21big anyone who buys the parts, aka end users as well? it's not exclusively repair shops

Looking at the positives! This is actually a pretty useful idea lol. You sold me on it

I still don't believe them after I've seen this lol

Considering this thing was announced weeks ago and already released before their announcement re RTR, pretty obvious isn't it?

Well actually you are not really wrong there since designing a hardware takes months or even years. This Surface Laptop Studio is likely being developed for more than a years or two, considering they already released a patent way before this. So it means, this has been in the R&D for so long, and maybe why Surface Book 3 remained practically the same as the first Book since they are instead working on this one. We will see how much they will change on version two, I hope upgradability will be considering this time. Surface Laptop 2 can at least able to open from the top lid using magnets. Maybe they can do that with SLS.

100% that is a PR lie and they do not support right-to-repair. FFS, how many lies do these multi-billion/trillion dollar companies have to tell until you start to understand that they lie about almost literally everything?

Actually, Microsoft DOES NOT support right to repair... just a few of their shareholders do... so they are compromising and sharing schematics... It's a step the right direction... but it's not the final step...

I don't think Surface laptops should ever be openable. PC should be, not Macs or Surface laptops. Nerds and geeks always want to open everything, get a life, nerds.

@@siipi6331 lol. So you don't think anyone should upgrade their storage or ram? And pay nearly twice the amount for getting a decent storage?

@@androwindo Yes, I think nobody should upgrade their RAM themselves but only via Microsoft support and if they can't do it or don't have that service, nobody should even try. If you can't buy the option with more RAM & SSD, you should not even contact anyone to do it for you. You buy the option you want to use and that's it. It's not a PC.

@@siipi6331 "Why replace the battery when you can throw the whole device away and give more money to Apple for a new one?" get a brain, simp.

@@oM477o I don't care if I give more money to some company, lmao. I just order what I need and if I need more, I contact Microsoft and pay them. This computer is so cheap compared to my Surface Book 2 i7 which cost me 3500€ (or actually I bought it for 0.5 bitcoin), so I could easily buy more services from Microsoft. I'm not buying this laptop, though. I think Surface Pro 8 is better, I have waited ~1,5 years to buy it. Surface Pro 8 i7 + Samsung Galaxy S22 + Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. I want them, now. :) Windows 11 is perfect.

i think the idea is that it is made of recycled ocean pollution.

@@rightwingsafetysquad9872 I had thought about that. But if you do that, why make new trash from it?

@@notthedroidsyourelookingfo4026 It is a bunch of buzz word crap too. Ocean plastic recycling is not feasible at all, I watched a video on it not long ago. It’s such an extensive and frankly expensive process that if things were truly made from 100% recycled ocean plastics, they would be ridiculously expensive. Edit : Here is the link to the video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4o9-FkSHGWA.html

I uploaded my Face Reveal....

Bots we don't freaking care

Not the case here, thankfully.

I’ve literally loved the idea of this laptop since I first saw it and have made a fool of myself defending it in a couple of comment sections already, but that simple fact has turned me away from it. This seems like an intentional way to ‘punish’ or trick people who try to upgrade/repair their own machine and make them destroy it. Reprehensible.

However, as a laptop my employer purchases for me, I don't care about repairability. I just need to persuade them about the price.

@@DocMoth 100% agree. If it's my money being spent, no way I'm spending it on something user hostile. If it's someone else's money? Just give me something that leaves me as the bottleneck for getting work done.

@@fjjwfp7819 Well, what if you needed to clean the dust out the laptop? its going to need a deep clean one day or another and i doubt many repair shops are going to have little trouble getting those feet and stickers again; once its open its not looking the same again irregardless of if you're linus or not

Buy the Linus's funded Framework laptop

Well said friend. Apple isn't on this level. They need to be innovative 💡 Apple getting old. I got rid of my macbook after a year because real businesses and real productivity comes only in windows. I finally got rid of my iPhone 2 years ago because samsung is creating foldable devices while Apple is reusing iPhone 4 designs to say that they have a new iPhone design

@@Stardust342 yes they have. From the very beginning

@@adrian8967 yes real laggy "productivity" on windows, no logic pro, no final cut, i love the bloatware that windows comes with, the large 40gb boot file while mac os is only 15gb. i love how lightroom and photoshop does not flow well in lightroom, rendering is a nightmare and airdropping photos from a pc to an iphone does not work.

@@Jasonzvo how is it laggy productivity? You've clearly not used Windows at all. Also, most business use Windows over Macs. Say what you want but Windows dominates the market. I'm sure one day you'll be using it at work.

There is no rational reason to even hide them in the first place, let alone under a sticker.

Spirit gum works quite well to re-attach the feet once the work is done.

@@willgallatin2802 Yeah, but then you're attracting ghosts.

@@looncraz ROFLMFAO!!

Microsoft, no, we support the right to repair, we just don't design it to be easy.

Clearly they learn from Apple in all the wrong ways. Hostile opening experience to make it likely to break parts and no replaceable RAM means this laptop is a joke. Glad to know it is designed to become a paperweight even sooner.

IF that is RTR... Then I'm better without it. What is the problem with exposed screws? WTF Microsoft? Why fucking hide them under the feet and stickers? Do you understand what RTR is about???

@@sedixmrboss5625 This was probably recorded before they even announced that.

@@sedixmrboss5625 unfortunately their just released devices are decidedly not rtr, but Microsoft has announced that going forward their devices will be much more rtr friendly as shareholders basically forced Microsoft to go that route

@@fjjwfp7819 Framework has exposed screws. MacBooks have exposed screws. Both look premium. One is RTR ready, the other... well let's not talk about that. And while hiding the screws makes the device look... better, it also means that IF something goes wrong or you want to upgrade, you will have to destroy the looks. I haven't seen a laptop where the rubber feet would just stick back on it after removing them, and my ThinkPad lost them without me even trying to remove em. Also the statements that Microsoft out out are contrary to one another. On the one hand, they are RTR friendly. On the other, "There are no user swappable parts", and "the harddrive should be replaced by an authorised Microsoft blablabla". That sounds more like Apple then like a RTR friendly company.

@@Andrew-se9be That makes no sense but ok. Why would you say smth because someone forced you to, but then do the contrary?

This still leaves the question: WHY?

@@anlumo1 to look more like Apple. Which imo is meh. I hate that my iPad Pro has rounded corners. Looks ugly and chunky

@@RiceCubeTech nothing from Apple has rounded DISPLAY corners ffs, especially not Macbooks.

@@RandomUser2401 he said his iPad pro, which indeed has rounded screens

@@roodiger what it also has is an OS that properly supports that geometry. And the ipad is not a laptop ffs.

The Asus Pro art the new one looks good but the pen input is through the touch pad rather than the screen. Though I know cad professionals who prefer their wacoms to not have screens so they can focus on the big screen without hands and pens in the way which ultimately is an evolution. It's probably a pretty good product for stuff like z brush etc

Pls let me know if you find a bulky laptop like this 🥺

@MEDIA THING Our company have hundreds of Surface Pro 4's. And a common thing for those are that the battery expands and bends the screen. We had many many returned to Microsoft where we would pay almost full price for refurbished models that last no more than a year.

you can punch through the fascia and remove the screws. Or pry it off, afaik Microsoft has't uploaded the surface laptop studio service manual online. The fact that they didn't say that sucks. Also HP does this too. They have a small sticker that you have to punch through to get the small screw (and HP does sell a replacement). That being said, not being able to know that SUCKS. And them operating under the assumption that its only those 4 screws sucks even more.

@@LordZordid I can relate to that. The screen got destroyed in a case I've seen. Not cracked, but not functioning either.

@@LordZordid The firm that told me the bad news about replacing the battery on a Surface Pro 3 said they only had about a 50% success rate with opening them up without cracking the screen, except that if the battery had swollen, the success rate went up to 70%. So maybe the swollen battery isn't a bug, but a feature: self-disassembly when it's time for service.

I do IT for a school district, if framework was capable of taking PO's and delivering in a decent amount of time, I think I would take the added cost hit to use machines designed to be repaired.

It also makes it way stiffer than just having a box

Yeah the design is really nice but i don't see the screen mechanism as very useful and I've opened every single laptop I've ever owned 😂 so this isn't for me

Idk about the audio, lots of other reviews of the Laptop Studio i've seen so far including MKBHD agree the speakers sound pretty terrible. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vBnpGIZK9R0.html

@@mini9503 the xps has shitty speakers. They use a buggy software to increase bass and highs, like a loudness effect. I think it was called "Waves Maxxaudio".

The software always crashed and distorted at high volumes. Macbooks are the real kings when it comes to built in speakers.

That was straight-up malicious. I honestly wouldn't be mad at any user who tried opening it and didn't see those screws.

I can understand the screws under the rubber feet, but the hidden screws feels kinda gross.

I highly doubt the intent of the stickers is to maliciously deter people from opening it. It's almost definitely purely aesthetic to make it look "seamless" -- same reason the other screws are under the rubber feet as opposed to right next to them.

At the very least, Microsoft won't brick your device if you don't use official hardware. Apple devices have hardware-level DRM which will prevent your OS from booting if you swap out a part for a 3rd party equivalent.

@@weeveferrelaine6973 Yeah, but not for phone screens or cameras. The majority of third repair parts are going to be used to cheap out, not make your device better.

@@DankoleClouds Oh its not for "no good reason". It has a very good reason and it's perfectly legal & acceptable in our current system. It's what companies are supposed to do, get maximum amount of profits with minimum amount of effort. Which always means screwing over people working there and people buying stuff. When you don't repair it you'll be forced to buy a new one. A repair nets them far less money than a new sale.

its not even that - when was the last time you glanced at the *bottom* of your laptop and thought, "i can see the location of a couple of screws, that clearly decreases the value of my laptop" - bear in mid the complexity of hiding the side screws would add to the cost. (the rubber feed not so much ; its just screw, then glue)

sure when its two sizes too small lmfao.

@@crisnmaryfam7344 lmao his shirt just fits him. It's not 2 sizes to small

Howdy Hey!

Thank You ! Have a thumb-up

Also because even though it isn't the best, it's an important step towards sustainability

@@xmlthegreat whilst also retaining the ability to create proprietary add ons that will fill up landfill and be even more useless than an ancient full laptop. "Oh I've upgraded my framework to thunderbolt 4 and switched the hdmi module for the usb-c ports only." "Really!? What did you do with the old motherboard module and add ons?" "Oh I threw them in the bin". It's not a move to sustainability, in so much it's a way to commercialise whilst undermining the right to repair movement. Desired: I switched out my CPU for more performance Framework: I bought a new motherboard module from the manufacturer.

@@lmaoroflcopter Yes and no, look for parts that's still in use. Memory, SSDs, chassis and screen

@@lmaoroflcopter You're completely missing the fact that because they are upgradable in the first place, changing those things means getting more use out of the more expensive parts. And you are also assuming people are going to just *throw away* perfectly good parts because they upgraded. If the motherboard dies and gets binned, that's one thing. It's better than the alternative of binning the whole laptop because one piece doesn't work. You're making a baseless assumption that people are going to use upgrade opportunities to be wasteful, which is frankly stupid.

@@lmaoroflcopter They actually aim to resolve that problem too. They really wouldn't care if you sold the stuff on eBay, but they are trying to build their own marketplace as well. also why would you throw away the HDMI port, when you can literally just put it back in whenever, with the laptop running? The card slots are just recessed Thunderbolt 4 ports, so all the add on cards are hot swappable. I get that people are dumb, but I don't think they're that dumb. I guess the motherboard situation is a fair complaint, but that issue is something they have no control over, seeing as all laptop CPUs are soldered these days. I'm guessing if they could do a socketed solution, they would have done that from the start. The real attraction there, for me, is burying a new board when I would normally replace the whole laptop anyway. That does pose a design constraint on newer motherboard options, though, since they would all need to fit into the same chassis and have the same 4 ports. I think that leaves Framework with a few options: 1. Long-term product support, where they support a product for at least 3-5 years with part updates. Then, they take what they've learned from the limitations of that product, and make a successor. 2. Long long-term support, where they support it for even longer. Has the drawback of potentially creating hard limitations down the line that they can't fix because they pledged product support for way longer than necessary. 3. short-term support measuring in 1-3 year intervals between a product and its direct successor. All of those options can be supplemented with a steady supply of repair parts for as long as people are using the laptop. Keep in mind a gaming laptop is not a successor to a thin and light ultra-portable model, it's a different product entirely. Speaking of which, I'd love to see Framework branch out a bit and maintain a product portfolio. I want to see them become a big name in the tech space, so long as they don't abandon their ideals.

yeah... i wasn't expecting much, but screws hidden beneath plastic made to look like the magnesium body is just disappointing...

I'm fairly sure that was Linus at 13:01. I could be wrong. (Sure looked like him.)

lol I had to double take ..

Looks at Dell one and has that "Well you tried, kind of." look.
