In 3, 2, 1..
0:02
I think that was you. You did it so fast. Surface Laptop 3, number 3
0:11
I talked about this thing from the moment that it was announced
0:15
You guys know I'm into laptops. I use them. I love them
0:19
I like them. Microsoft Windows. Connection. Synergy. Incredibly thin and light for what it is
0:26
This one is 3.4 pounds. It's also got a 3x2 display, which is unusual in the laptop segment
0:33
It's metallic. At this point, this looks very promising. And this could very well replace my ThinkPad relationship
0:41
Permanently? Temporary? I don't know. So this one is the Ryzen 7
0:46
It's important to note the 15-inch model of the Surface Laptop 3 has a chip, an AMD chip
0:53
in collaboration with Microsoft specifically for this unit. The 13.5 inch Surface Book 3, which is the size they've been making for all the previous versions
1:03
Not Surface Book, Surface Laptop. Surface Book is another product completely. So anyway, the 13.5 inch is still on Intel
1:10
This one goes to AMD. You can get it with the Ryzen 7 or 5
1:14
The price tag goes up substantially if you want the extra horsepower. But that 7 chip also comes with an improvement in the graphics performance storage
1:23
SSD 512GB, 16 gigs of RAM. This is around 2,000 bucks. The other one the entry level starts at around 1,200 bucks
1:32
So this probably won't be the most popular model. This one is in the platinum metal color
1:37
The lower spec version that I'm also going to show you is in the black The surface product line
1:47
It's a cool name the idea that all of these things are just surfaces for whatever it is that you want to do on them crazy
1:54
It's crazy, impossibly thin, very thin. It's making a MacBook Pro look fat
2:00
Well making a MacBook Pro look a bit fat I tried out many different devices with the matte black finish and it tends to pick up fingerprints This one on the other hand it always stays looking clean
2:12
Our power brick, this one is magnetic tube-style connector with the magnetic component over here
2:19
So it fits into this slot. If you have it hanging off the desk, you're working
2:25
you're in the workplace environment, as you would be. Someone walks by this thing comes out so easily that your laptops not flying off the table how sweet it is
2:36
Yes Extra USB port so go ahead and charge your phone while you're at it one power brick to rule them all
2:44
Okay It's a nice flat gray to it Jack It's a nice flat gray large size trackpad so simple to the point
2:54
It's a slab a crazy slim, thin slab. You have no fingerprint scanner but of course Microsoft's been
3:03
trying to push people towards the face unlock so this does have the Windows
3:08
Hello face unlock available to you. This one is 2496 by 1664 resolution. That's
3:16
201 ppi. It's a multi-touch display as it would be considering it's a surface
3:21
product so you can reach up and touch it. Since they are still making the 13.5
3:24
5 inch version of this laptop that one is gonna come with the Alcantara
3:29
potential on the deck the 15 inch on the other hand the aluminum metallic deck I
3:36
presume you have the bigger body a little more rigidity can you say that word
3:41
rigidity rigidity okay around the device you have typical USB connector type C
3:53
which yes you can charge via type c a headphone jack and then just your proprietary magnetic
3:59
charge port on the other side all right now i also have the black one here so let's do a quick
4:05
comparison i could see this one being popular because the whole matte black thing you can see what I talking about You just get some smudges and things like that It inevitable You have the matte black 4Jack
4:17
Kabam. There it is. About as simple as can be. Platinum metal represented as well
4:25
Let's go ahead and continue on the black one. We saw enough of this one now. And so I cracked this open
4:29
And you're going to catch your first glance here. You saw, did you see that Jack? With the windows, hello
4:34
You just go like that. It sees me, bang, I'm in. And so if you have this option available to you
4:41
you're probably using it over the fingerprint scanner. It's a seamless kind of experience when you use it
4:47
There's your three by two display. Do we have a nit update? Well, you're the nit guy
4:52
So yeah, it's 380 nits. 380 nits, not the brightest screen we've had here
4:57
One of the things I like about the implementation here is just how symmetrical the bezel is
5:03
on the outside of the display from the top to the sides. There's slightly more of a chin
5:08
but the top and the sides, it's just identical. And that's a pleasing look
5:14
Symmetry. Symmetry is pleasing. I think the next generation MacBook is going to also be symmetrical
5:19
We'll see. Many intuitions today flying around. You have any? A few
5:27
You'll share them later? Yeah. Okay. When the moon is in retrograde
5:31
and Virgo approaches Leo. Whatever. Astronomy on the third Tuesday of the fourth moon
5:47
I think this is going to be a thing you want to put on your lap. I'll tell you why. You get the higher edge with the 3x2
5:54
The impossible thinness here. You're not feeling anything. You got a 15-inch laptop
5:59
You don't even feel it. You got the MacBook Pro. is cooking you right now. Oh yeah
6:03
You're like a fried egg sandwich. Yup. The keyboard. You know it's gotta be about the keyboard
6:09
Couple of brown foxes. So like a lot of the laptop here it is a macbook vibe to it chiclet style i think that going to be satisfactory for a lot of people you got the backlight it is what it needs to be trackpad
6:25
is feeling satisfying as well fairly large yes we can live speaker time uh we have some
6:36
new information it has popped up now on DxOMark these are the guys
6:42
they're trying to turn photo performance into a number well they got their number
6:46
now they're sending the audio through the keyboard this is a compromise
6:50
this is a decision it's a design decision and you can hear for yourself 112
6:55
is what it scored I would say it's it's actually surprising clarity considering
7:01
where it's coming through it's like I think people will be satisfied with that. I think it's in that satisfactory range. The screen resolution
7:09
it's not the most. The brightness, it's not the most. The keyboard, it's not the most travel. The
7:14
speakers, it's not the loudest. You know, it's like a soup. On their own, you just got ingredients. That's all you got. A cut of beef, that'd be less
7:24
desirable. You say, what are we gonna do with this beef? Yeah. You throw it in a stew. In the stew
7:29
You spice it a little. You come with the onions. You come with the carrots
7:34
Together, greater than the sum of the parts. That's fine. This is a beautiful thing
7:40
I'm going to use this laptop. And I'm going to see if I miss the ThinkPad or if Microsoft is in it to win it
7:48
This episode is sponsored by Bessie. They make shoes with a proprietary knit upper material called Dymatex, which is the first technology of its kind
7:57
The outer layer is hydrophobic, causing the water to beat off. Now the mid is a waterproof membrane with nanopores small enough to keep water molecules out
8:05
but large enough to let moisture escape from the inside. And the inner layer is designed for comfort, morphing to the shape of your foot
8:12
And you can wear them in any condition, rain, snow, mud, or sand. If you're interested in these shoes, check out the link down below
