for years my favorite laptop on the market and then they just kind of didn't do much with it for years and years and a couple more years but we have the fifth generation here and it looks incredibly promising they haven't changed very much but what they have changed I think will make a big difference do you want to see the 13 and a half or the 15 first big big okay all right it's 12th gen we've got the P cores the e-cores I think it's looking pretty good nice simple packaging I don't know why they went with a nice fancy one for the 13 and not for the 15. here we've got our power adapter and this one is 65 Watts one thing that I love about these surface Chargers is that it also comes with a type a port right here it only does 5 Watts but that's more than enough to just like plug in your phone and get a super easy charge not having to worry about packing all of your stuff so here we have the silver model on this side all that you get is Microsoft's proprietary BS surface connector port on one hand is pretty great so I really appreciate that it has sort of like the magsafe technology so you plug this thing in here and then your child or dog or whoever runs by they hit the cord your laptop doesn't fall on the ground excellent that said in the past pretty much everything that you want to do had to be done through this port so you wanted to connect it to external displays docks or stuff like that you needed to do it through Microsoft's proprietary bs1 that was incredibly expensive not anymore 3.5 inch headphone jack excellent we also have USB type A I believe that's a 3.1 the bit that is incredibly exciting we finally have Thunderbolt Thunderbolt 4 Port right here so you can Chuck this right here into the garbage and instead you can use your just normal Thunderbolt dock like you would for everything else awesome thank you so much Microsoft it only took you five generations to do the absolute bare minimum that the first generation really needed they did it though they did here we have the 13 and a half and this one is in their new fancy sage color on the overhead right there it just looks like gray like sort of like apple space gray or something in person it looks green IO is also identical in the 13 inch so surface connect Port 3.5 Thunderbolt 4 USB type A excellent Thunderbolt is such a game changer for this I cannot put into words how much Microsoft has finally done the thing that was obvious let's go for the 15 first a little open oh wow it logged me right in I set this up earlier with a facial recognition and as you can see it works great on their surface devices it seems to just work the best with them like the way that it worked right there I just open it up boom you're immediately in everything else it might take like a half a second or something we already opened these up but before I can tell you about that I need to tell you about this fantastic segue to our sponsor brilliant thanks to brilliant for sponsoring this video

the first 200 people to head to brilliant.com ShortCircuit will get a 20 off annual premium subscription let's have a look at just how these feel they fixed it Brandon so the first two generations of the surface laptop had fantastic build quality they were some of the best on the market third and fourth Generations were not the same that is because the service laptops one and two were held together using glue so if you wanted to take it apart you ruined it you destroyed it this is a big problem because I had a friend that bought a surface laptop too and it had a very simple just BIOS failure well they bought a Macbook afterwards because they could not fix it because it was completely unrepairable man they did a good job on these one interesting thing that you can see here is that it's all aluminum except for this top portion right here so that would be your Wi-Fi antennas because those have a lot of trouble going through you know aluminum like this okay let's do a little tour here so this one right here is 2256 by 1504 now one of the annoying things here is that they haven't really updated it I was hoping especially after the Surface Book Studio that they would come out laptop Studio doesn't matter it had a 3x2 display that was 120 hertz and it was freaking awesome this right here has not changed at all I'm pretty sure this one right here does have some Dolby stuff that helps with you know correcting for your room and how you would be perceiving this stuff but this is essentially the same display that was on Surface laptop the first there's a lot of things like these bezels are pretty big for 2022 don't really care it's just a bit annoying brightness is fine colors are fine it's it's all good but it no longer like Wows you like it would if it was an OLED display or a mini LED that'll sear your eyeballs or something the display on the 15 is very similar although I think it gives you a little bit more resolution excellent displays wish the bezels were a bit less bezily Microsoft has some of the best touch screens available just the way that you're able to move around on it works great actually now that I think about it everything that you interact with on these laptops is just fantastic the trackpad excellent that said these days like the one on the 13 and a half excellent I'm pretty sure they just reused the hardware on the 15 which is kind of disappointing this could definitely be larger like uh I have a 14 inch MacBook here as you can see it's very possible to fit a larger trackpad I'm guessing that Microsoft just doesn't do the kind of volume of the 15-inch surface laptop to justify making a whole new SKU for this also fantastic the keyboard across the board on their surface devices Microsoft does an excellent job with the keyboard and it is no exception here the surface laptop has always had a fantastic keyboard although the three and the four weren't quite as good going back to that hole when they switched to having repairability the chassis wasn't quite as stiff the chassis stiffness is a huge factor of how good your keys feel how good your key switches are does not matter at all if it's going to be in a squishy chassis this right here they stiffen it up for the number five and once again this is among the best on the market it's a little bit softer so there's like a lot of travel it's really nice and soft it's also super quiet let's give you a little listen you probably can't even hear it someone's walking up the stairs and that's way louder for comparison these are some of the quietest Keys around but like even that's way louder than the MacBook now one of the biggest upgrades with the fifth generation they have new processors wow who would have thought so in here we have the i7 1255u which is not the most powerful of processors ever you have two P cores so only two performance cores and those ones have the piper threading but then you also have eight e-cores which in total let's have a look at the specs here wow it goes up to 4.7 gigahertz so that is still really fast and a maximum Turbo Power 55 Watts damn okay uh I want to run cinebench on this thing I guess the ryzen 7 1700x so first gen gets nearly 9 000 maybe we'll hope for eight thousand ten cores 12 threads how are you doing there Microsoft 3.3 gigahertz not too bad not too bad I was expecting for it to fall off worse actually but I guess they only have two performance cores so it's not like they have a whole lot to cool oh there we go it's falling off now 2.7 gigahertz still above the base clock of 2.6 you can get a much much faster machine if that's what you care about for this price 8765 so that beat my guess right there so that puts us right around a ryzen 7 1700 x so that is an eight core processor a first gen ryzen not super fast by today's standard it's faster than i7 7700k for everyone that remembers when that used to be really fast what else do we need to do speakers do you want to hear some crab Rave Brandon so far so good Microsoft has done such an excellent job giving you nice detail and bass through the keyboard somehow foreign not bad switch it up for the MacBook Pro the MacBook Pro 14 inch just torches the surface laptop too although one thing that I do have to say is that the MacBook has a super aggressive just v-curve on their equalizer so bass is super boosted treble super boosted it makes it nicer for people that don't know a whole lot about audio but the surface laptop definitely has a much flatter response you can actually hear the mids and I would guess for video calls and stuff hearing your friends will be easier on the surface laptop compared to the MacBook I guess somewhat surprisingly but also not a lot surprisingly these two displays look nearly identical that's kind of surprising because Microsoft advertises 400 nits Peak brightness for this and I think Apple advertises 1600 or something stupid like that when in practice they don't deliver that to your eyeballs ever really unsurprisingly two color accurate displays beside each other both just looks like color accurate displays who would have thought good job Microsoft interestingly the 15 inch does have a stronger processor so here we have the i7 1265u 1265u has 100 megahertz higher boost clock than the 55u both of them have 16 gigabytes of RAM 5200 megahertz which means these are not going to be upgradable 500 Gigabyte SSD from SK hynix and Intel Iris XE Graphics let's give those a little try I don't have very high hopes for the gaming performance of this but at the same time it's not a gaming laptop so if we're able to do 1080p ish low in valheim I will be happy this is way better than I expected honestly are currently running at 60 frames per second so this is not quite 1080p this is 1440 by 900p but we have it on medium low-ish settings and we're getting 60 FPS this is honestly shockingly better than I was expecting as long as your expectations are in place you can probably do 1080p low gaming and get away with it as I said before the Windows hello facial unlock on this fantastic the webcam however is just fine here we go this is a perfectly adequate webcam on a laptop when the surface laptop first came out it blew everything else completely out of the water and much like everything else with this laptop it now is fine to kind of bad but yeah this is pretty soft compared to 1080p that you can get on lots of other laptops now so if you want to do video conferencing and stuff this is okay let's take it apart shut up train we're gonna take apart the 15 inch because I don't like it as much and I'm very very curious if there's just a bunch of space on the inside that's not being used by anything so first of all thank you Microsoft for allowing us to get inside of the surface laptops since the third gen huge improvement over just being glued together that said this is a pretty way to do it we have to remove these rubber feet right here to access the screws and when you do that these rubber feet they might go back on but even if they do they're gonna fall off sometime pretty soon this is one of those weird laptops where it comes apart top there we go when this pops out you have to be incredibly careful about the little ribbon cable uh you can see maybe right there yeah if you screw up that ribbon cable uh your trackpad and keyboard no longer work be careful this uh looks very much like the internals of a 13 inch laptop in a 15 inch laptop that said this little heat shield right here is pretty fun I was kind of concerned when I was using the 13 inch in valheim there that my fingers would be getting a bit toasty actual heat sinkage is a anemic at best have a single heat pipe right here that's not a whole lot of cooling also in the 15 inch they without a doubt could have fit a larger battery like we just have holes here bunch of empty space and the battery itself is only 45.8 Watt hours that's uh they advertise 17 hours for this guy and 18 for the 13 and a half you're going to be lucky to eight and that said you're going to be lucky to get anything because of Windows modern standby it's actually terrible Microsoft I've complained about this to everyone for the past year because Windows modern standby is the worst thing you have done in years and that is saying something if you're losing Windows Die Hard people here to Mac because it's so bad anyway the surface laptop 5 is fantastic and I do really like this Microsoft has changed just a couple things specifically Thunderbolt 4 actually that's like the only thing that they did but that's all they had to do for like the past five generations it has a fantastic display it's nice and light three by two love it I do wish this has Alcantara that is an option still but I just like how smooth and soft the Alcantara is keyboards great track pads great screens great touch screen you don't get that on a Mac it starts at a thousand dollars which don't buy that one it Gigabyte bytes of RAM 256 Gigabyte SSD for that price get something with 16 gigabytes of RAM or buy something that's on sale the first one that I would recommend is fifteen hundred dollars that's kind of rough so that gets you an i5 16 gigabytes of RAM and a 512 Gigabyte SSD as tested this one right here is 1700 and that is pretty steep like the surface laptops have always been pretty steep it's a premium device it feels really good I can understand it it slots in between the MacBook Pro 13 inch and the 14 inch which makes sense 13 and a half inch right here I really like it just fix your stupid battery life anyway if you like this video hit like get subscribed and just have a fantastic day see you later"}
