Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra

“This is still massive innovation, no need to be Apple apologist.”

“this gives you the ability to plug in quickly without having to align it perfectly every time”

“For 2.5k a 512Gb SSD seems extremely disappointing, I'd expect 1Tb on something half that price.”

“The touchpads have been great for a long time, and the newer ones have advanced haptics that Macs don't have yet.”

“But at that point I'm not sure I understand the advantage of just having all your USB-C ports”

“the 15" miniLED with 4:3 ratio and a nice, big haptic touchpad”

“my Windows touchpads are much more responsive, especially when swiping between desktops”

“that surface ultra is the first time I feel like a laptop on the other side of the fence will finally offer hardware parity.”

“I run Windows 11 Pro on it. I like it.”

“I wouldn't hold my breath on the quality of the final software product and user experience.”

“It'll cost more than the equivalent MacBook Pro. It'll be slower too.”

“Surface has superior aspect ratio.”

“this laptop will challenge Apple to work harder. This is good for everyone.”

“The only reason for someone to buy any of the laptops with this chip is the NVIDIA GPU.”

“This is the answer to that. I _must_ run Windows, and I _want_ to have a computer with integrated memory.”

“It would be a steal at $5k tbh, with todays RAM prices.”

“I want to see how Windows on ARM will play out in terms of compatibility”

“All in all, this rig is going to be quite expensive.”

“The problem with this is that it runs windows. The hardware is probably nice.”

“the laptop was already at low (<10%) battery when I closed the lid, and it sat for several days without a top-up”

“Latest ones are pretty dope tho, IME.”

“the overheating during sleep issue can affect any windows laptop made in the last 5 or so years”

“This is an AI native dream machine from what I can tell.”

“love the 3:2 monitor aspect ratio”

“it is going to be $5000+ right?”

“no one other than Apple has the luxury of shipping a PC with second-class Linux support anymore”

“As a Linux or BSD machine, this is a portable beast”

“hardware support in Linux is probably going to be painful as always”

“The screens are a great quality, the keyboard especially in later versions is quite good.”

“The battery life is great. OS is a complete garbage.”

“It'd be alright with Linux, probably better than a MBP if you're working heavily with AI (but no other reason to buy it TBH).”

“I've heard there's still a large backlog of both software problems, and hardware problems with the platform.”

“Microsoft has always made great hardware, often with partners or acquisitions.”

“Real competition in this space could be a great thing for consumers”

“with uncertain linux support (it's spotty even on the dedicated linux boxes that this chip is based on)”

“it will offer something that is really the first instance of a Windows device that's a better choice than an M-Macbook”

“This might actually be cool hardware!”

“The closest I've found are the Surface laptop/cover trackpads, but they have their own set of reliability and repairability issues.”

“The ARM64 Surface Laptop is great and definitely matches the MacBook Air's quality”

“the surface laptop is the only windows laptop on the market with a trackpad that's anywhere close to Apple's”
