Cons

- I've found that the samsungs and surface laptops come close in the look&feel department but they're way overpriced and lacking in performance.
- Parent context: I was on a Microsoft Teams call (using the app, not a browser) when the host streamed a brief video, which made the whole laptop hang for several seconds. At the time, I had about 10 Chrome tabs open across two desktops,...
- Microsoft’s $950 Surface Laptop with 8GB RAM freezes during basic multitasking

The Surface Laptop
Parent context: I was on a Microsoft Teams call (using the app, not a browser) when the host streamed a brief video, which made the whole laptop hang for several seconds. At the time, I had about 10 Chrome tabs open across two desktops, alongside Slack and Signal Reply: It’s Microsoft saying 8GB is fine for Windows. It’s the same saying a car with 10L deposit is fine for today and then people finding out the obvious that you won’t get far with it. Thing is non tech savvy people don’t know that and will buy this trash.

Got a cheapish Surface Laptop. It's no better than a toy. An overpriced toy. Heats up quickly, performs poorly.
The Surface Laptop tested was the 16BG/1TB version that costs $1999.99. The 16BG/1TB M5 air costs $1299 and is faster. Strange that Macs are now the much better value.
