Ya. I was a little disappointed, hoping the software is optimized or the next version has a stronger GPU more capable of these these types of workflows.
The speed is due to 2 reasons. The CPU and the RAM speed. Single core performance of 2,800 according to Geekbench 6. That competes with workstations (portable supercomputers). The RAM speed is 8,448 MHz per second. That is currently the fastest in the tech industry for RAM. Makes multi-tasking super fluid.
Thanks for the comment - I'm really appreciating the snappiness. It's a pleasure to use as long as you aren't doing anything too intensive (photo & video editing).
I was really into surfaces but grabbed an 11-inch iPad air with the M2 and have been enjoying it. I have an android phone and am a lifelong windows user, but the iPad may have me switching devices. I prefer a mobile forward device when on the go and I can remote into my computer if I need to do more.
Awesome review and I was so excited...until you mentioned photo editing. I so wanted to be able to do some editing....amateur photographer here. I cringed when you said Apple. Which laptop do you recommend. I was waiting for this one!!!!!😢
Agreed, this's not for content creator with high demand. This's too eaerly Arm Windows beat Apple system. Native Adobe still has bugs. I hope Adobe pay attention this ASAP.
I see no point in having the Bluetooth keyboard instead the standard one, if I attach a monitor to it, I’ll want a standard sized Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The only case would be someone that wants the screen far away from the keyboard but there are very few that need it. Let’s see the sales. I had a SP8 and it’s great but the extra price is of no worth, too big for a tablet, on your legs less comfortable than a laptop. The only use case would be for designers/creatives that draw and in that case, this is a must because the Surface Laptop 7 supports no pencil.
I too was anticipating it to be a gimmick but like I said in the video, it's turning out to be quite useful. I'd say that even when using it as a normal computer, I probably use the surface with the keyboard NOT attached more than attached.
I've read that the Surface Pro 11 OLED screen produces grainy or somewhat fuzzy text instead of the normally sharp text on the screen. What is your experience with the OLED screen?
It’s funny my surface pro 7s keyboard stopped being recognized (I know the keyboards work), so I’m used an Bluetooth keyboard. I’ll have to using it at a distance.
Can't justify keeping both and I like the surface pro better, mostly due to the tablet/keyboard setup. I also prefer the OLED on the pro, even though the laptop has a very nice sharp LCD.
