killamch89 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 First off, I must say that I'm disappointed that it has a Ryzen 4000 series processor instead of the new 5000 series because Surface laptops are notoriously expensive. It covers all the pros and cons of this machine. Would you consider buying one of these machines and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 At this price, I'd say apple is reasonable especially the apple macbook pro 16 which is closer to this price. and also only people who may prefer the surface seems to be bloggers, writers, journalists.

Empire Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I think it looks great and for someone that really likes watches, it means they wouldn’t have to worry about scratching there watch or computer deck. Really interested to see if this is the best Windows laptop around. Interested to learn if that transforms this into a viable option against the Mac.

The Mac is actually more powerful and is cheaper (It's a real surprise) and there are far more powerful Windows laptops that cost less as well. This is the issue I've always had with surface devices, they're so overpriced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Yeah mac indeed is cheaper in comparison and also lot more premium quality, because macs survive for years. I have not seen the microsoft devices surviving that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get far better Windows laptops for the price the Surface laptop 4 is going for and that says a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Indeed. And the thing is that considering Surface has WIndows10 X which is small version of Windows 10. I wont be investing much on such chromebook like devices by paying apple price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one about 3-4 years ago that I got as a gift and apart from emulation, I'd say it was very average at everything else. For the price, it's so under powered that it might as well be a Chromebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I am surprised though how microsoft is trying to replace the chromebook with 10x version and it seems like the amount of price they are charging if they are even getting customers for it.

I haven't really checked out the amount of people buying one but I suspect the number can't be that great because the price is absolutely ridiculous. I mean, 1500 -2000 for fully specced surface laptop 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolisticStorm Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I have always found the Surface to be WAY too expensive for what it is. There are other comparable devices that are quite a bit cheaper or at least have better price/performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Yes I'd say the apple air seems to be better too compared to the surface laptop. I have had pretty good experience with apple air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
