I don’t own a single USB-C device and I only know one person who does. Most people still use USB-A USB sticks, type a hubs, type a devices like iphones, printers, mice, (i even have an S-Video/Composite to USB-A) there are so many USB-A devices that don’t have a USB-C equivalent. So I can see why Microsoft said people didn’t want it.
do you still have the same idea? Just because people dont use it, more ports are better. This laptop cant play ANY game thats not minecraft, a usb-c port w/ thunderbolt allows for that. unlike USB I can use a dongle(annoying but) and be able to have a drive and other things connected without worry of the port slowing down.
What's a USB C? Haha just playing. I recently found out from looking for a new computer the last 2 weeks. Dont see what the big whoop is, dont know of anything I'd use it with.
Leave a 👍🏼 for Canada's 150th birthday tomorrow! First video back from VidCon LA last week, sooo many more videos being worked on at the moment, hope you guys enjoyed this!
Benyamin Lorit the fabric doesn't feel as fabricy as you might think. It's mixed with a a special polyurethane coating. So it feels smoother than you'd expect and I'm sure it's more resistant to getting dirty than if it was just pure fabric. Feels like it to me at least. Check it out in a Microsoft store or something
I feel like pretty much all laptops can do the general productivity stuff you might need for work really the only time there's any difference is if you're using it for video editing or gaming (or like me watching so much content you just need a kickass screen and speakers)
pls dont make assumptions if you really did not experience it like what you said about the i7 version.. but great video.. we like to hear the review of your actually experience on the product like what you have here on the i5 version.. hope you do more videos soon
Is it just me thinking 3 commercial in middle of a 11 min video is insane? Not sure is it youtube or you but I've never seen any tech reviewer put so many commercials in one review. It's intolerable, literally. Ruined the nice video.
USB 3 can be in USB-C or USB-A form. USB 3 isn't synonymous with USB-A. However, I agree. I think manufacturers should be focusing on USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 now with maybe 1 USB-A port for every 2 or 3 USB-C ports.
Great video! I'm a Mac guy(2015 13" MBP), but if and when I buy a Windows Laptop, it will probably be this one or maybe, just maybe a Surface Pro. It will be one or the other, though.
get a spectre as the keyboard on the surface laptop will ruin as years past.If you really want a good looking laptop with decent specs,get the macbook pro without touch bar. It has very good speakers and has an awesome screen and is the same price as both of these machines.
Should have USB 3 and USB 3.1 type-C w/ thunderbolt 3. A lot of peripherals still use the old ones, but definitely should usher in the new as well. Minidisplay port doesn't make sense nor does the proprietary charging (unless it's due to problems with aftermarket usb type-C cables as one reason)
just hope new Surface laptop 3... 1. i9 processor 2. oled panel 3. bezeless design 4. dedicate graphics 5. huge trackpad i can paid it 3k - 4k usd as well i can get that spec... every programmer n designer will love this spec...
Is it ok to buy i7 with 8gb of ram. I am asking just because it doesn't sounds good to me to have a i7 with only 8gb of ram. I don't know why my mind is saying that there should be atleast 16 gb of ram with i7. Please give me some advice i want to buy this.
having more ram is better and having a faster cpu is better. either one will increase performance. though without a spefic task in mind you should be fine with the i5 8gb model
I’m a graphic designer and I’m thinking about buying this guy just because of how sexy it looks, but can it handle AI and Photoshop tho? I don’t really edit videos but mostly illustrate and use Adobe Illustrator for designing so is it good for that kind of use?
Awesome mate! Cant wait for the review. I'm in need of a new laptop and was considering importing the new gunmetal 13" model from the US (I live in Aus). I've heard a few horror stories about Razer quality control and their support so I'm a bit scared of taking the plunge, especially when Razer only offer warranties for the country which the item is sold in. Do you have any experience with them at all? By the way, your content is on the same level as those bigger tech reviewers, baffles me that your channel is not bigger.
You sound like you are reading a shopping list and can't wait to get through it. Slow down. Also manufacturers are not shipping HDD cases with USB-C en masse. Which means if you want to keep your old drive as a back up you still need USB 3.
"Microsoft is very well known for its build quality ....." Idk...I bought a surface 3 and I had to took it back and exchanged three times to get a properly working one. Nice video anyway.
Euron Greyjoy It costs a lot more than competing laptops with similar specs. So technically, yes, you do have to be 'rich', but not in the literal sense.
Dennis Xu I needed to buy a 3000 dollar laptop and I'm not rich it's not about being rich it's about what you need your aptop to do for you. It's an investment into your education.
You said you'd include the link to upgrade to W10P in the description, but I cannot find it there. I might be blind though, I only see the link to get the PC from amzn and social media links.
Basically fantastic laptop. Shame about the fabric keyboard which makes it a complete failure. Furthermore lack of USB type C which is about to become universal for everything is a major shame.
I don’t own a single USB-C device and I only know one person who does. Most people still use USB-A USB sticks, type a hubs, type a devices like iphones, printers, mice, (i even have an S-Video/Composite to USB-A) there are so many USB-A devices that don’t have a USB-C equivalent. So I can see why Microsoft said people didn’t want it.
I personally prefer using USB-C for charging.
do you still have the same idea? Just because people dont use it, more ports are better. This laptop cant play ANY game thats not minecraft, a usb-c port w/ thunderbolt allows for that. unlike USB I can use a dongle(annoying but) and be able to have a drive and other things connected without worry of the port slowing down.
I agree but it is becoming very clear that usb type c is beginning to be used a lot
What's a USB C?
Haha just playing. I recently found out from looking for a new computer the last 2 weeks. Dont see what the big whoop is, dont know of anything I'd use it with.
It’s still the same in 2021, Lol
No - Shipping a Laptop with USB A in 2017 still makes sense - shipping one without USB C is the one that doesn't makes sense
It's not the same
Audie Liem I agree with you!
Audie Liem this is trash
coming from other part of the world... USB C is far from us... :( but well, most of my device are wireless connect anyway.
Leave a 👍🏼 for Canada's 150th birthday tomorrow!
First video back from VidCon LA last week, sooo many more videos being worked on at the moment, hope you guys enjoyed this!
Happy Canada Day man, hope you have a great day tomorrow
Justin Tse your the best love your videos wish you upload daily
Justin Tse If you bye this laptop don't drink any coffee around it lol
Justin Tse do you live in toronto cause i do
+Nicholas Rambaran Nah, Victoria.
You can clean the Alcantara with specific liquid, or even soap and water. Mine was a demo model, looked new after cleaning
Just got this laptop in red. I'm really enjoying it! Great review, Justin.
+Tanner Mecham Thanks Tanner!
Is the fabric holding up good for you? I'm thinking about getting one but I'm worried about how the fabric will last.
Gloria Mo I own one, it holds up fine, i have used mine daily for 7 months and I have seen no difference
bro need to buy separate keyboard or ?
Wow man. That was an incredible review! Very well edited and very informative / succinct.
Thank you. I appreciate this
Michael from Sydney
God this laptop is so sexy...
Benyamin Lorit
Shame about the fabric keyboard.
R C Agreed. As much as I like how it looks, I don't think I would wanna touch it.
Benyamin Lorit the fabric doesn't feel as fabricy as you might think. It's mixed with a a special polyurethane coating. So it feels smoother than you'd expect and I'm sure it's more resistant to getting dirty than if it was just pure fabric. Feels like it to me at least. Check it out in a Microsoft store or something
Actually it feels even better when you really have your hands on it, and burgundy is gorgeous XD
Benyamin Lorit Then take a look at the 15 inch MacBook pro.
Everything about this review oozes quality and style. Great job with the presentation.
Great review and video. School’s about to start and this helped me choose which laptop to buy.
I feel like pretty much all laptops can do the general productivity stuff you might need for work really the only time there's any difference is if you're using it for video editing or gaming (or like me watching so much content you just need a kickass screen and speakers)
Yet, Another Great Edited Video. I Personally don't use Microsoft Computers but it does look like a good computer though
+William Wong :)
Justin Tse ddd
Justin Tse eeeyy
it is my everyday school laptop and is probably the fastest one in my class
it is great
Dude, this has to be one of the best reviews I've seen on this laptop. Great work!
+Andrew Thanks Andrew!
pls dont make assumptions if you really did not experience it like what you said about the i7 version.. but great video.. we like to hear the review of your actually experience on the product like what you have here on the i5 version.. hope you do more videos soon
I've seen review of this laptop from many UA-cam,r but now I'm seeing it from one of the best
+Danaria Scott :)
I so much agree with all what you said. But to me the catch is the awesome design. It is just so unique.
PC, I'M REALLY CONSIDERING THIS LAPTOP, I LIKE THE BLUE COLOR
Is it just me thinking 3 commercial in middle of a 11 min video is insane? Not sure is it youtube or you but I've never seen any tech reviewer put so many commercials in one review. It's intolerable, literally. Ruined the nice video.
I'm watching this on the exact same computer lol. I love it!
how's the alcantara holding up?
whatslifeanyway i hate when people dont reply
One of the most solid reviews i have ever seen.
I've been waiting for this video so happy it's finally hear
İ am getting this tomorrow
Wi vieuw same :) I can't wait, has it been good?
Same! I’m soooooo excited 😆!!!
Wi vieuw how it after 2 years does it still work fast
USB 3 can be in USB-C or USB-A form. USB 3 isn't synonymous with USB-A. However, I agree. I think manufacturers should be focusing on USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 now with maybe 1 USB-A port for every 2 or 3 USB-C ports.
Road to 200k subscribers! Aaaaaaaaaand PC.
Your intro was sick! It was like an advertisement for Microsoft
Your reviews keep getting better👍🏻, good job man!
+Juan Gutierrez Thanks Juan :)
Great video! I'm a Mac guy(2015 13" MBP), but if and when I buy a Windows Laptop, it will probably be this one or maybe, just maybe a Surface Pro. It will be one or the other, though.
i would like a comparaison between the surface laptop and surface book so much
Justin your videos are rad.
+Jelle Harmen van Mourik Thanks!
Great video as always Justin! Stoked for more PC reviews. I'm curious, where can we get to see that video between 5:10 and 5:20?
I like touch tablet. It's easy to use.
Michael Caywood well then you will love every Microsoft surface product there is!
Gamerred 93 except this product because it's non detachable.
Great review Justin. I love the design of this laptop but I'm so tied to Apple ecosystem I don't want to start from scratch.
+Purple' Same haha!
I can't decide between this and the Spectre X360 15.6" with a 4k display.
get a spectre as the keyboard on the surface laptop will ruin as years past.If you really want a good looking laptop with decent specs,get the macbook pro without touch bar. It has very good speakers and has an awesome screen and is the same price as both of these machines.
Nice video JT......I would like to see some MS phone reviews
I'm planning on getting one of those.
After using the computer for a while did it slow down at all?
If MS removes windows s, cloth keyboard and add type C and type C charging than I am sold
Man, that's one fantastic review. Keep it up!
+François Pérennès Thank you!
Should have USB 3 and USB 3.1 type-C w/ thunderbolt 3. A lot of peripherals still use the old ones, but definitely should usher in the new as well. Minidisplay port doesn't make sense nor does the proprietary charging (unless it's due to problems with aftermarket usb type-C cables as one reason)
+Ronald Chow Yup, HP did it perfectly on their Spectre 13.
i still use a usb 3 flash drive, so I appreciate the fact that they added it. Also i don't want to buy dongles.
Really good and helpful video Dude!
Is it better than a macbook pro?
PC!
Also happy canada day to you justin. Happens to be my birthday today too :)
just hope new Surface laptop 3...
1. i9 processor
2. oled panel
3. bezeless design
4. dedicate graphics
5. huge trackpad
i can paid it 3k - 4k usd as well i can get that spec... every programmer n designer will love this spec...
Best review of this laptop by far !
Love the pc reviews keep em coming bro!!
Your videos are such great quality. Thank you!
+Robert Sanchez :)
I wonder what computer Boruto uses?
Sadiq Yusuf Lawal Don't you dare say that>:/
ISV Productions did you watch episode 13
Sadiq Yusuf Lawal Yeah it was Crazy!!! Did you?
ISV Productions I'm watching Naruto right now
😂
Damn your reviews are incredible! Subscribed!
Thanks!
Is 4Gb model worth buying for photoshop and illustrator work ?
I’m getting this right now. As its 20% off
Great video but that looping background music was driving me nuts.
Should I buy it for programming with i7 8gb SSD 256gb?
What's that sleek pen you got there near the canadian flag at the begining of the video ? It looks so sleek !
this laptop looks downright sexy.
i want one.
I have an m7 Macbook Retina, but I am really considering switching to the Surface Laptop instead
Awesome video Justin! Really enjoyed it. Btw I used to think you're a Final Cut Editor, but you seem to use Premiere Pro haha
+KDCloudy I am a Final Cut editor haha, had to adjust for this video.
Its a awesome laptop , I love it... Not sure why so many haters
Is it ok to buy i7 with 8gb of ram. I am asking just because it doesn't sounds good to me to have a i7 with only 8gb of ram. I don't know why my mind is saying that there should be atleast 16 gb of ram with i7. Please give me some advice i want to buy this.
having more ram is better and having a faster cpu is better. either one will increase performance. though without a spefic task in mind you should be fine with the i5 8gb model
Well it depends on what you are using your laptop for but im pretty sure you have already bought it by now lol
Just got mine yesterday! F*cken love it!
Can’t wait to pick up a surface laptop 2; the performance should smoke the first gen.
keep it up Justin, Great review.
+MODESTE Modeste Thanks!
I travel all the time and I need to be able to do photo and video editing. What laptop should I get?
I’m a graphic designer and I’m thinking about buying this guy just because of how sexy it looks, but can it handle AI and Photoshop tho? I don’t really edit videos but mostly illustrate and use Adobe Illustrator for designing so is it good for that kind of use?
Is it good for video editing?
It's a nice laptop, but not as good as its competitors. (xps 13, razer blade stealth, macbook pro)
Your videos are sooo good. Keep it up
thank you for the good reviews -- very helpful
+Jim Wells :)
i want that 'bucket list' note
Really clean video, awesome!
I wanna buy this laptop for my school work
Great review.
Is this the silver or platinum?
what you think justin should i buy sigma 18 35 f1.8 or the one you are using.
Hey man, love your review.
Any chance you'll be reviewing the new Razer Blade Stealth 13?
Razer Blade Stealth arrives tomorrow!
Awesome mate! Cant wait for the review. I'm in need of a new laptop and was considering importing the new gunmetal 13" model from the US (I live in Aus). I've heard a few horror stories about Razer quality control and their support so I'm a bit scared of taking the plunge, especially when Razer only offer warranties for the country which the item is sold in.
Do you have any experience with them at all? By the way, your content is on the same level as those bigger tech reviewers, baffles me that your channel is not bigger.

your videos are I should say modest in appearance. *thumbs up*
Hey Justin. Why do you always quote US prices instead of Canadian prices on your videos?
"Microsoft is very well known for its build quality ....."
Idk...I bought a surface 3 and I had to took it back and exchanged three times to get a properly working one.
Nice video anyway.
Haohang Zhou 1 persons experience =\= accurate representation of company.
Gamerred true
could you do a desk setup tour but tailored to specific laptops? been here since I think this sp4 days or first gen xps 13
Only for very rich students...
Lichoslawo You don’t have to be rich to get this laptop.
Lichoslawo student loans mate
Euron Greyjoy It costs a lot more than competing laptops with similar specs. So technically, yes, you do have to be 'rich', but not in the literal sense.
Dennis Xu I needed to buy a 3000 dollar laptop and I'm not rich it's not about being rich it's about what you need your aptop to do for you. It's an investment into your education.
Dennis Xu there arnt laptops that are the same specs but cheaper
I think because this laptop is aimed at students, it doesn’t need USB type c because when did high school kids use USB type c.
You said you'd include the link to upgrade to W10P in the description, but I cannot find it there. I might be blind though, I only see the link to get the PC from amzn and social media links.
Added. sorry!
Thank you sooooooooooooo much for this video!
Basically fantastic laptop.
Shame about the fabric keyboard which makes it a complete failure.
Furthermore lack of USB type C which is about to become universal for everything is a major shame.
100,000 more subs than in this vid!
Where can I find the background you were using in the video? I just bought the laptop for myself today and want to copy your setup.
+Ben Kargere Ultralinx!
Justin Tse Thanks!
did you get it online
Bro yo hair is dope.
when will this laptop be launched in India?
@Justin This or Spectre 13t x360?
+TheRamboBeast the Spectre 13t is better IMO, but there's something about the feel of the Surface that I think would suit me better.
Is this Surface Laptop 1 or 2?
is backlit keyboard?
How can you make a laptop with only one usb port...
what camera are you using justin. pls tell and what lens?
+Technography Panasonic G7 and Sigma 24-35mm
Justin Tse really the quality is AF . make a video on your camera settings and all. 😊
Microsoft should include some software free as leverage to buy surface products
Balaji TR you mean like Windows 10? Onenote? Shit like that?
can i use linux operating system this device?plz help
Yes you can
would this fit into a herschel sleeve? just wondering what kind of case to find for this since its 13.5
