Very interesting laptop. The webcam is only 720p, which is a disappointment, but compared to 720p cameras on other brands, it actually had better quality. The microphones also sounded pretty good as well. It'll be interesting to see how that alcantara surface holds up over time to heat and oils from the hands.

Why are there non-USB4 or Thunderbolt 3 or 4 equipped USB-C ports in mid 2021? Meh on USB-A. This chicken and egg issue will forever be a thing until all new devices dump USB-A like how past old ports were dumped. That proprietary port is more a waste than useful for the 99% of the time. It's a less convenient than USB-C. Could have been two USB-C ports on the right. At least we have the XPS line to move things forward.

Another great unboxing video. My employer purchased thousands of Surface 3s last year at the start of the pandemic when they had to create a work-from-home strategy from scratch. The units have performed admirably with little retraining other than how to install Cisco VPN software to dial in and WebEx software. The webcam does look a little better from last year's version to me. Also, a point with last year's Ryzen chip....those will likely a) be available and b) keep the price down for corporate/government purchasers who buy in bulk.

The intel version has deals already for about 1089 euros with 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM, and the screen seems awesome with 100% DCI-P3. And the AMD 5000 series versions are launching or about to launch now. Could be an amazing small and light laptop for media consumption and videogame streaming services like Stadia, xCloud, etc with that OLED screen and huge battery. It's just a shame it doesn't have 16:10 aspect ratio for non-media related tasks.

Surface laptop will be truly competent when the display gets above 500 nits, bezels become less than half it's current size, webcam becomes 1080p, audio is on par with macbooks and battery becomes around 85kwh. Untill then it looks okay but there are better options... Until then if it's surface laptop you want, it's better to buy a surface laptop 3 on clearance sale. It's almost the same...

For me the Surface Laptop is the most beautiful laptop ever created. Clean AF. It's a shame that they didn't go for the AMD 5000 series instead, mainly for the single thread performance improvement, efficiency and extra cache for some specific tasks. The Surface Laptop Go intruduced smaller bezels and less reflective screen, I thought they would include both on the Surface Laptop 4 but it seems like they didn't. They haven't added USB 4.0 either. The screen has amazing aspect ratio and resolution (not FullHD no 4K), but it's too reflective, and colour accuracy and brightness are behind MB, XPS and quite a few other Windows laptops now. Upgrades are too expensive, equal or more expensive than upgrading a MacBook Aire/Pro M1. I feel like Microsoft is putting half effort into this.
