Microsoft's Surface series has always been the benchmark product of the Windows notebook/tablet, the workmanship and design aesthetics of the Surface are at the benchmark level, and the Laptop 7 is a new thin and light notebook of the series, what is different about this Surface Laptop 7, I will share it with you today.
Hi ~ Hello everyone, I am Feifan Feifan, a digital enthusiast of home appliances who likes to study and decorate 8 houses and 2,000 square meters of office.
I believe that there is no perfect product, it has at least 1 dimension that will make some users feel that it is a disadvantage, how to show the advantages and disadvantages of the product to everyone, to determine whether it is suitable for you, is the purpose of my sharing.
Whether it is advertising or personal experience, it is the basic principle to strive to ensure that the experience is true and objective, and I hope everyone will supervise it together!
The workmanship feel丨 is on an equal footing with Apple
Of all the Windows laptops I've come into contact with, the top-of-the-line products can be described as "almost perfect" in terms of workmanship and feel, but I have never felt that any one is 100% satisfied, and it always seems to be a little bit worse.
After 10 minutes of playing with the Laptop 7 13.8-inch, I can responsibly say that the Windows notebook, workmanship and feel are finally perfect!
This golden Laptop 7 has a warm texture, but there is no doubt that it is an all-metal case.
B-side screen left and right narrow bezels,The upper bezel is placed with a camera and a face recognition camera,There is no notch design,I give Laptop 7 both hands in recognition。
Don't say anything about "bangs will gradually get used to it", okay? It's really uncomfortable.
This is an IPS touchscreen with a resolution of 2304x1536 (201 PPI), and yes, you read that right, a ten-point touchscreen with a dynamic refresh rate of up to 120Hz.
The official did not give specific color gamut coverage data,But from the YouTube tube/B station, I saw that many gods have measured it,P3 and sRGB have more than 98% coverage,P3 and sRGB color accuracyΔE average value is within 0.5,The screen quality is very good。
I tried the commonly used sliding operation of the tablet, and the support effect and feel are very good, such as the sliding up of most of the area in the middle of the bottom is the start menu.
Swipe up on the bottom right to get the control center.
Highlighted on the right is the Notification Center.
On the left is a user-customized widget.
The whole operation is very silky and can be used when opening other programs, similar to the priority of the phone's status bar.
Compared with the company's other touchscreen notebook, the screen quality of the Laptop 7 is more delicate, and the roughness and screen feeling close to the pixels are not obvious.
The measured manual maximum brightness can reach 567 nits, which is a very bright level in the laptop screen, and the fonts on the screen can be seen clearly when used in sunlight, but the target users of the Laptop 7 should be very few outdoor workers, right?
At the top of the screen, you can see the main camera and the left and right 3D structured light cameras, and the screen is unlocked when it is turned over, and the recognition speed feels like the phone is a little faster.
The C-side keyboard uses a combination of brown and gold, which looks very blended.
Compared with the MacBook Air in your hand, the feel of the keys is more solid and not so loose, and the texture is better, which is the most comfortable in the notebook keyboard.
There are two special features in the key design, one is that the power button is misplaced and switched with the DEL key, and the other is that the arrow keys are magnified left and right to make the keyboard look more coordinated.
The pressure trackpad with vibration function is the highlight of the Laptop 7, the surface material of the touchpad is very silky in contact with the skin of the fingers, but it is not the silly slippery metal surface, and at the same time supports a variety of one-finger, gathering, sliding and other operations, combined with the mouse and the system in place, after a few days of experience, I feel that the quality exceeds the MacBook Air in my hand, and it is the most comfortable trackpad I have ever used.
The bottom is extremely neatly made, there is no common heat vent, and there is no design for any open cover, and the 4 soft pads hide the screws.
The ports are all placed on the left side, and the headphone jack and USB A (10Gbps) are 1 each, and the 2 C ports are USB4 (40Gbps) and support up to 60W PD protocol charging.
In addition, the two C-mounts also support the Display 1.4a protocol, which allows users to connect to the screen for use.
Try using my 65W charging socket with power display, and when the battery is below 80%, it will charge at about 60W, and the power will gradually decrease after reaching 80% power.
On the right is the magnetic charging interface, which is officially equipped with a 39W Surface power supply as standard.
Did you see that there were no seams in sight, and it didn't seem to see any connecting seams?
The workmanship of the Laptop 7 is excellent, and the design allows the shell to be formed as one-piece as possible, and the seams are almost perfect.
A whole digital craft!
The Laptop 7 has a total of four color options to meet the needs of different users.
Performance and battery life丨A new balance between Microsoft office laptops
Based on the characteristics of mobile office notebooks, the Laptop 7 uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite processor based on the ARM architecture, and users who understand the difference between ARM and X86 will worry about software compatibility, while users who do not understand it may not be aware of it. Because at the moment Microsoft has done a very good job in the compatibility of the two architectures.
At present, the software ecosystem on Laptop 7 is implemented in two ways: native Arm+X86 translation.
In a month, I tried the commonly used software, and the specific schedule is as above, and I can't feel the difference between them in actual use, no matter which one is actually used.
At present, the entire ecosystem is fully supporting the ARM architecture, and more software is providing ARM versions one after another.
Then let's go back to the new Snapdragon X Elite processor, the Laptop 7 is equipped with a X1E80100, 4nm process, with 12 cores, a maximum multi-threaded frequency of 3.4GHz, and a single-core frequency of 4.0GHz.
Using the AMR version of CPU-Z, the measured single-core score is 764.7, and the multi-core peak score is 8094.9, which is very good for a thin and light laptop.
(Intel's latest mobile Core Ultra 9 185H scored 860 for single-core and 7452 for multi-core).
The ARM version of the R24 single-core score is 72, and the multi-core score is 796, and I see that other bigwigs have tested the single-core score of 124 points, which may be that I didn't set it up well and couldn't release all the performance.
Overall, the performance of this Snapdragon chip is basically on par with Intel's Ultra 9 185H.
The main users of Laptop 7 are office as the core, taking into account daily video playback, web browsing, and chat as the main application group, such performance can not be said to be able to cope with it, but can only be said to be more than enough.
If you occasionally need to retouch pictures on a business trip, photo-processing software such as Photoshops and Lightroom can easily do the job, and there is already a dedicated ARM version.
Of course, it's not a problem to play some light games, but it's okay to have a triple-A masterpiece or something like that, after all, who would buy this to play the game!
At this time, someone will ask, in addition to the workmanship is very good, it seems to be the same as a Windows notebook with intel or AMD X86 processors, no different?
This has to mention that one of the benefits of using the ARM architecture Snapdragon X Elite processor is that it has a stronger battery life with almost the same performance as the latest X86 processor.
The official propaganda clearly states that the battery can provide 22 hours of video playback / 15 hours of web viewing, which is the best performance in the Windows notebook.
The official video playback time is local video,Considering that most of the current viewing network videos (Aiyouteng and other APP),I use the reader to watch the video of station B1080P,And turn on the brightness to60% (brightness is about 165nits),Sound10%.
In the end, after 12 hours and 10 minutes of playback, it consumes 84% of power, which is almost the same as the battery life of the MacBook Air!
And if you only use it for text editing, PPT production and other office systems, the battery life will be longer.
X86The most serious standby power failure problem of the architecture notebook,Laptop 7It has also been completely solved,I measured the case of opening QQ、Word、PPT、Web page when the screen is covered,14.5The power has not dropped for 14.5 hours,You must know that the notebook of the X86 architecture notebook can consume 20% or even more power in this case。
With such a super battery life, ordinary white-collar workers commute daily with Laptop 7, and they don't need to bring a charger when they go out, and the excellent trackpad also eliminates the need for a mouse, and you can just stuff it into your bag alone, and there is no battery life anxiety when you use it all day.
I usually go out for meetings during the day with the Laptop 7 to record, the morning and afternoon meetings are a total of 7 hours, and I can still have about 50% of the battery when I get home at night, which is very strong.
And if it is a business trip, two or three days of short-distance battery life is enough, five days of business trips can use the charging head of the mobile phone, 65W PD protocol charging head 0-100 full of about 2 hours.
Tested at room temperature of 28°C, the temperature control of the Laptop 7 is also very satisfying, and the temperature control is excellent under daily office and drama, so you don't have to worry about hot hands in summer.
Another advantage of the Laptop 7 is that it integrates the NPU AI unit, and the AI computing power reaches 45 TOPS, which is the best in the AI computing power of the NPU unit integrated by the CPU.
The biggest feeling I have about integrating NPU is video conferencing,Other notebooks will have a higher CPU usage after turning on Tencent Meeting and superimposing some background blur effects,Multi-person meetings will even have Caton,And Laptop 7In this case, the CPU only occupies 8%,It is easy to deal with multi-person meetings。
In fact, the special effects of video AI computing are handled by the NPU, and the usage of the NPU can be seen when the video is turned on and off repeatedly.
As for more AI applications, such as image creator, Windows Ink speech-to-text, etc., you need to wait for further updates from Microsoft before you can use them~
summary
Surface Laptop 7 in the Microsoft Store 16G+512G version is priced at 11188 yuan, 32G+1T version is sold at 15388 yuan, for a top-level workmanship, with the blessing of AI units, and a thin and light book with a touch screen, the user groups at this price are also obviously mid-to-high-end consumer groups, such as students with good family economies, elites in the CBD, and high-level elites in various industries.
My biggest impressions of the Laptop 7 are:
1. At present, whether it is a Windows notebook or an Apple notebook, Laptop 7 is the best workmanship;
2. At present, the battery life is the strongest among Windows notebooks, which is the same as Apple's MacBook Air;
3. The keyboard feel and touch feel are first-class, and the fit with the system is high;
If you want to talk about improvements, I think there are a few points:
1. At present, there are too few pre-installed applications that support AI, and they need to be updated later.
2. The C port supports 65W charging power, but it is only equipped with a 39W magnetic charger, and it would be nice to send a 65W C port gallium nitride charging head;
That's all for today's sharing of Laptop 7~I hope it can help everyone~
