WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.510 - This right here is the Surface Laptop too. And I'd consider probably the best laptop on the market, 00:00:05.510 --> 00:00:09.690 which might make you think, why has this Surface Laptop 3, 00:00:09.690 --> 00:00:14.370 which should be better in every way not made it into my hands yet. 00:00:14.370 --> 00:00:19.370 Well, it has and we just didn't really bother to cover it. 00:00:19.470 --> 00:00:24.620 So let's take a look at why 'cause I actually do think this might be the best laptop out. 00:00:24.620 --> 00:00:28.820 Just it would have been a lot better if it came out two years ago, 00:00:28.820 --> 00:00:30.870 we just get to unbox it here, that's fun. 00:00:33.420 --> 00:00:35.263 There we go, it's a laptop, wow. 00:00:36.540 --> 00:00:41.680 Who would've thought? And just, I really liked the finish on this one. 00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:47.600 It's a bit, I don't know what you'd call it, a bit Applely for my taste almost, 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:52.110 but overall I'd say I really like it. You do have other options of course. 00:00:52.110 --> 00:00:53.310 I really liked this one. 00:00:55.210 --> 00:00:58.250 Moving on, you get your typical power cord 00:01:01.819 --> 00:01:06.470 I actually really like this. it's basically just mag safe except not. 00:01:06.470 --> 00:01:09.870 So you get the classic, you put it in here, 00:01:09.870 --> 00:01:13.213 you go and you trip over it, laptop's not dead, perfect. 00:01:14.310 --> 00:01:20.510 Then what else do we have, a little box that says Surface Laptop, 00:01:20.900 --> 00:01:23.010 getting started, plugging the power cable 00:01:24.020 --> 00:01:29.020 press power button Windows will guide you, sure. 00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:31.813 So here we have it, the Surface Laptop 3, 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:38.880 really the most interesting thing that I can see from just right here is that it has USB-C. 00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:42.470 Who ever would have thought to include that on a laptop in 2019? 00:01:42.470 --> 00:01:48.890 Not Microsoft the first try around. I've had trouble working with like my TV and stuff, 00:01:48.890 --> 00:01:52.143 getting high quality dongles for it, It's just not that simple. 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.640 Opening it up though and we'll see their main reason 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:02.800 why I don't like this one too, oh, wow, it's already open. So Windows Hello is awesome. 00:02:02.800 --> 00:02:06.300 If you couldn't tell I've already installed stuff on this 00:02:06.300 --> 00:02:11.350 'cause we don't wanna spend the next hour just updating Windows that would be a pretty boring video, 00:02:11.350 --> 00:02:16.070 but Windows Hello is so quick on this thing. That's maybe my favorite feature of these 00:02:16.070 --> 00:02:19.400 because it's just so simple. You're just immediately in 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.850 and you're able to get to your work, but the big problem that we have here, 00:02:23.850 --> 00:02:28.490 where did the Alcantara go? It is an option but I just don't know 00:02:28.490 --> 00:02:34.140 why it's something that you want to give up. This just feels so smooth and it feels so great on the hands 00:02:34.140 --> 00:02:38.460 when you're typing, this feels well, it feels great, 00:02:38.460 --> 00:02:41.590 but it feels like every single other laptop on the market. 00:02:41.590 --> 00:02:49.380 So I'm not totally sure why Microsoft would want to give you the option to have a not very surface Laptop feel, 00:02:49.630 --> 00:02:53.780 looking at the track pad. It's kind of the first thing that you can see. 00:02:53.780 --> 00:02:57.440 It's just bigger. They have a little bit of space here 00:02:57.440 --> 00:03:03.540 and they have just used it up. And as far as I can tell the rest is all preserved. 00:03:03.540 --> 00:03:08.203 This thing is great. The overall feel of the chassis is actually excellent. 00:03:09.457 --> 00:03:15.560 I think it's slightly stiffer than the old model. Although oddly enough, it doesn't feel quite as premium 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.290 just going back to the whole Alcantara thing, I really like this stuff, 00:03:19.290 --> 00:03:24.290 and yeah we have the same 2256 by 1504 resolution display. 00:03:24.810 --> 00:03:30.230 It's four by three, which is freaking sweet. You can see so much on the screen that's right here. 00:03:30.230 --> 00:03:33.280 One thing that a lot of people say all the time, 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.700 when I talk about how much I love high aspect ratio screens 00:03:36.700 --> 00:03:40.040 is, but then all that you get her more black bars 00:03:40.040 --> 00:03:45.950 on the top and the bottom, which is stupid because I would respond to that with, 00:03:45.950 --> 00:03:51.350 you get the same amount of screen for like your 16 by nine or two by one content here. 00:03:51.350 --> 00:03:54.480 And then you just get more on the top and the bottom. 00:03:54.480 --> 00:03:58.970 It still needs to be a certain height for it to be comfortable to use with their hands 00:03:58.970 --> 00:04:03.120 because otherwise your palms just kind of fall off the edge, 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.350 moving on, what does it have for a processor in it? 00:04:06.350 --> 00:04:11.070 Let's see here, an i7-1065G7 00:04:11.070 --> 00:04:15.270 which I don't know, that's pretty good. It seems pretty fast to me, 00:04:15.270 --> 00:04:20.150 that has the Intel Iris plus graphics. So we might actually be able to game a bit on this, 00:04:20.150 --> 00:04:24.700 that was definitely out of the question on the Surface Laptop 2. 00:04:24.700 --> 00:04:28.550 But speaking of gaming, there's another one right here. 00:04:28.550 --> 00:04:32.750 It's the 15 inch version, I guess we're here now or unboxing this one too. 00:04:32.750 --> 00:04:39.140 Same basic thing, I'm not really gonna get into this one too much because it's exactly the same unboxing experience 00:04:39.140 --> 00:04:43.230 as the last one, but it's a lot bigger. They have the Surface Book for when you want 00:04:44.591 --> 00:04:50.490 to have something that's larger and this just feels not quite as good when I press it. 00:04:50.490 --> 00:04:54.900 The chassis just leaves a tiny bit to be desired. 00:04:54.900 --> 00:05:00.780 I don't know, I don't really get the trade-off here because for me I don't need a screen that's slightly larger, 00:05:00.780 --> 00:05:04.190 maybe if you're, I don't know old, see how heavy they are. 00:05:04.190 --> 00:05:07.230 It's okay, it's actually not all that much heavier. 00:05:07.230 --> 00:05:11.960 Maybe the most interesting thing about this one though, is that it's not rocking an Intel processor. 00:05:11.960 --> 00:05:15.750 This one has the AMD Ryzen 5 3580U 00:05:15.750 --> 00:05:20.440 Microsoft Surface Edition. It also uses up two gigabytes of your memory, 00:05:20.440 --> 00:05:23.750 which isn't really a problem on this one because it has 16 gigabytes, 00:05:23.750 --> 00:05:28.640 but you definitely don't wanna be buying an eight Gigabyte version of this if it's available, 00:05:28.640 --> 00:05:32.380 they probably don't even have that. Maybe my favorite part of the Surface Laptop too, 00:05:32.380 --> 00:05:37.350 is just that this keyboard is exceptional. There's something about it that I just really love. 00:05:37.350 --> 00:05:43.170 It almost feels like the actuation distance is just a little bit shorter, I can't entirely tell. 00:05:43.170 --> 00:05:47.100 It's like if this laptop here is a 10, 00:05:47.100 --> 00:05:52.910 then I'd have to give this one like a nine and a half. There's nothing that I can really complain about, 00:05:52.910 --> 00:05:56.080 about the keystrokes, it's just slightly different, 00:05:56.080 --> 00:05:59.800 and maybe not quite as far of an actuation. 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:03.690 Moving over to the 15, it should have the same switches, 00:06:03.690 --> 00:06:07.050 but I guess I've been wrong before a couple of minutes ago. 00:06:07.050 --> 00:06:10.177 Oh, this is worse, okay, it's not very good 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:18.383 compared to what are probably the two best laptop keyboards on the market, 00:06:19.940 --> 00:06:24.430 but why would you give that up when you could just buy the 13 inch model 00:06:24.430 --> 00:06:25.803 and not have this. 00:06:29.960 --> 00:06:33.810 It's just not quite as good. It might just be that the chassis isn't quite as stiff. 00:06:33.810 --> 00:06:39.750 I'm sure that you guys have already seen stuff about how the AMD version of this one isn't quite as good 00:06:39.750 --> 00:06:43.040 in a lot of ways, and one of the main reasons 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:49.510 is just this Wi-Fi adapter. If we look at it. on the Intel one we get Wi-Fi six, 00:06:49.510 --> 00:06:55.350 on the AMD one we do not. Files just copy a bit faster on the Intel one, 00:06:55.350 --> 00:06:59.220 even when they're both on Wi-Fi five, I'm gonna just retire that one for now 00:06:59.220 --> 00:07:02.700 because I don't get why it needs to be bigger, 00:07:02.700 --> 00:07:07.330 and the keyboard worse, the biggest problems with the Surface Laptop 2 00:07:07.330 --> 00:07:11.750 is that everything is glued together. There's no screws down here, if you want to get into it, 00:07:11.750 --> 00:07:16.570 you just use a heat gun and you absolutely destroy 00:07:16.570 --> 00:07:19.660 all of this, apparently the Surface Laptop 3 00:07:19.660 --> 00:07:23.150 can be taken apart so let's see how that goes. 00:07:23.150 --> 00:07:26.910 I have a nice mat here so we don't scratch it up. 00:07:26.910 --> 00:07:31.510 I don't think this video is a sponsored by iFixit, but they are what we're using here today, 00:07:31.510 --> 00:07:35.613 this is easily the most difficulty I've ever had just getting feed off of a laptop. 00:07:36.880 --> 00:07:42.913 I'm like genuinely concerned for this thing even though I know it's just a little bit of rubber. 00:07:43.850 --> 00:07:48.850 There we go, we finally did it, that was really tough. 00:07:49.230 --> 00:07:55.210 - [David] Wow, you're so good at taking laptops apart, Alex. - Thank you, David, this is always my least favorite part 00:07:55.210 --> 00:07:58.280 of opening a laptop, you just kind of have to jam 00:07:58.280 --> 00:08:03.703 like a guitar pick in and hope you don't accidentally destroy something. 00:08:07.300 --> 00:08:10.633 Oh, seems to be coming apart just fine though. 00:08:11.520 --> 00:08:13.483 Wait a second, I know how this works. 00:08:15.130 --> 00:08:19.206 Flip it over, open it up, we should really turn this off. 00:08:19.206 --> 00:08:22.943 (both laughing) When it comes open here. 00:08:25.147 --> 00:08:28.720 Is the keyboard just kinda come off? It looks like it, oh, there's only one cable too. 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.950 That's perfect. So this guy right here 00:08:31.950 --> 00:08:37.323 is what we have to be really careful of. Oh wait, oh my God, that was so easy. 00:08:38.486 --> 00:08:41.660 (both laughing) So we have three batteries here. 00:08:41.660 --> 00:08:46.450 I think that together they gave you a total of 48 watt hours which is a bit lower 00:08:46.450 --> 00:08:49.536 than what you'd find in the competition. Is that the SSD? 00:08:49.536 --> 00:08:53.850 That thing is tiny, look at this 256 gigabytes 00:08:53.850 --> 00:08:57.440 just right here, this is the first time that we've been able to upgrade 00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:04.040 the storage in a Surface Laptop, but I don't know how much you can upgrade it given the size of this thing, jeez, what else is under here? 00:09:04.040 --> 00:09:08.000 I'm just gonna take off the sealing, that one might not be going back on. 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:14.040 So we've got heat pipes to here and also heat pipes over here, what's this one doing? 00:09:14.040 --> 00:09:17.150 It's bending heat pipe, let's not do that. Let's put that back together. 00:09:17.150 --> 00:09:20.630 Okay, as far as I can tell 00:09:20.630 --> 00:09:23.630 there's absolutely no way to upgrade the RAM. 00:09:23.630 --> 00:09:29.420 Not that that's really expected in thin and lights these days, it's just a nice to have. 00:09:29.420 --> 00:09:33.450 I'm going to say though this is such a huge improvement over the last generation. 00:09:33.450 --> 00:09:36.600 Like you spill a bunch of Coca-Cola on your keyboard 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:39.980 and it gets all sticky and garbagy. You can replace it on this one, 00:09:39.980 --> 00:09:43.680 on this one right here, no beans. 00:09:43.680 --> 00:09:49.126 So I don't know, I guess we're done. I don't really feel like putting this back together, do you? 00:09:49.126 --> 00:09:54.840 - [David] No. - Yeah, I really like it, overall I'd say it's just an incremental improvement 00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:58.360 on what was already a fantastic laptop. They've come down in price 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:04.400 since the first and second generation. So the value proposition is actually not horrific. 00:10:04.400 --> 00:10:09.830 It's not fantastic but I'm going to use it because you just have a bit more screen real estate. 00:10:09.830 --> 00:10:14.434 The area right here is just more comfortable to rest your palms on, I don't know. 00:10:14.434 --> 00:10:18.550 I just really like it as a daily laptop, I guess that kind of comes down to it. 00:10:18.550 --> 00:10:23.470 Elena says I'm a fun boy, but I don't know. Screw that guy. Thanks for watching, subscribe I guess. 00:10:23.470 --> 00:10:26.363 Do we have enough trial for this? Is that a thing? 00:10:27.310 --> 00:10:29.393 Oh, we should probably put it back together.
