Microsoft Surface Laptop - Pros & Cons!

2018-01-10
this is the surface laptop by Microsoft the version I have is in a rather special color called maroon it features Windows 10 s which is a lighter version of Windows 10 you can only install apps available in the Windows Store which limits your selection of applications widely so I just installed the full on Windows 10 OS instead which is free by the way and in this video I'm going to be talking about the pros and cons that I noticed during my couple of weeks with this laptop so let's get into the pros the first Pro being its awesome design and quality picking up the laptop you can definitely feel the quality and even more so when you're using it it's got a metal shell and a very soft like textured feel on the inside it's hard to describe but it feels awesome another Pro is the phased recognition with Windows hello and it works like a charm just set it up once and then when you need to log in or approve of things just look at the display and it takes less than a second to know it's you this is so much better than fingerprint sensors and of course just using a password the keyboard and trackpad are also great the keyboard is clicky and is very easy to get used to likewise with the precision driver trackpad I'd have to say that these are probably the best in the Windows market maybe tied with the XPS 15 the screen is also phenomenal it's a touch 20 256 by 1504 display I know weird AF resolution but it looks great colors are vibrant and true to life viewing angles are good and it gets fairly bright as well definitely up to par with MacBooks the portability of this surface laptop is a big pro as well and the fact that it's both well made sturdy and all of that plus being light small and easy to carry around is by all means very impressive this is definitely a good laptop for people on the go and with around 7 hours of writing on the surface laptop before it dies the battery gives you enough juice for a whole day of work so that's great as well performance wise the laptop can easily handle things like 4k video watching browsing the web with multiple tabs open Lite video and audio and photo editing etc and I rarely came across any lag with those tasks so if what you do falls in between the things I mentioned in terms of you know toll on their CPU etc it's gonna work very smoothly now I would not buy this if you do any professional work like CAD or video editing though that's when the two course starts choking now let's get into some cons the first one being is iron on the left side you'll find a full-size USB port a mini display port and a headphone jack on the other side there's just the charging port and so my problems with this layout are as follows one the charging port should be on the left side not on the right side - why are there no Thunderbolt ports this leaves you stranded with just the port's you have if you want to connect a full-on Ethernet jack you can't if you want to run dual monitors you can't if you want to connect a wired keyboard and mouse you can't there's just a whole lot of limitations here if the surface laptop had just one Thunderbolt three USB type-c port we could have added all of that with a dock and charge the laptop at the same time so the fact that that's missing is definitely disappointing my next and actually final con of this laptop is the price of it the laptop starts at $1000 and for that you get an i5 128 gigs of SSD storage and just four gigs of RAM yeah that's that's not good if you want the i7 with eight gigs and 256 gigs of storage which is the best model to go for you're gonna have to cough up $1600 and the top and model 16 gigs of ram and one terabyte of storage is $2,700 for a laptop with a dual core i7 that's hard to justify so what do you guys think about them up so what do you guys think about the Microsoft Surface laptop let me know in the comment section down below and I'll see all of you guys in the next video peace you
