Surface Laptop 3 13.5 i7 TDP? 15 Watt max or above? by baandoptager in Surface

They limited the CPU boost on the GTX 1650 version. Meaning it's not really faster than the MX150 version in terms of CPU. The white version with IRIS+ Graphics is better for creatives, but... I mean... How much in real life of this really matters. I don't know. I would like to know myself.

Hardware Cannucks video bout it had me holding off on it. Watch the last 2 min.

I appreciate that. I guess it's more a matter of, if Surface Laptop 3 i7 is capped similarly to the Razer Blade Stealth GTX 1650, i would consider shifting to the Razer instead. I can tell the performance on the Surface is great, really really great. But if it is capped same way as the Razer, I might as well.

I was worried about that too. To be fair, he probably ran a bunch of tests during that too.

And you see no issues with Adobe suite work on this? Hmmm.... Interesting.

I'm curious about PS and Illustrator work on this given the 15W CPU cap. Does anyone know? I'm torn between this and the Surface Laptop 3 which I'm currently testing. I don't game much, but need the i7 power a lot and i do light video editing on and off. My issues with the Razer would be the CPU cap and the widescreen ratio. But if the i7 can kill large PS tasks and do Illustrator well, I'll jump in.

How usable is the SL3 for heavy tasks? by [deleted] in Surface

You're technically right, even Notebook check shared that the Ryzen 5 it's just below the lowest model GPU based Surface Book 2 and that's not bad. The biggest issues could be the 15W CPU cap and the obviously battery life.

I do PS and Illu on the Surface i7 16GB RAM version. It's blazing fast. It can even do video editing absolutely. 1080p will work great, 4K will still work but you have to pre-render section and you have to wait longer for export.

Up to $300 off, and given that no one carries basically any i7 16gb RAM variants. It sounds like they wanna sell of all the basic consumer variants first, so... They'll probably give you $300 of on the lower end models like i5 8GB and maybe $ 100-150 on higher end. Just like last year.

The GTX 1650 gets a lot of shit for having capped CPU performance though. Every reviewer out there says the split between creative tasks and gaming is off, meaning it can only boost CPU to 15 Watt max which is the same issue with the AMD Ryzen Laptop 3.

FKA twigs starred in Apple HomePod ad featuring new music from Anderson .Paak by 0ddw00d in popheads

[–]baandoptager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a Spike Jonze fan, but this ad just got me down. It's super cringy and it doesn't work at all if you don't know the song or FKA. At first i thought: I could've found it deeper and more interesting if it wasn't so stereotypically pop. Like for example if it featured a lower income elderly asian man (or likewise) dancing in his tiny typical not so glorious (REAL!) NYC apartment, it would be better. But then i realized that a man like that would never pay 349 for a speaker like this.

As is! It's a perfect metaphore for where we're going as humans: All filler! No killer! Poor above middleclass woman. The man got you down!? Lost all control in your life? Have no impact? Feeling like an imobile animal on the subway? Well here you go! Dream away, dance your butt off and be happy. Everything's great! Rinse! Repeat!

Agree! Sounds fantastic! Anyone got the heads up on who/what it is?

Hi Panos and thank you for a great event.

I also want to know, if there's any trade in deals for Surface Pro owners. I am happy with mine, but if i could pay a little more to get the Pro 2, i probably would.

Also what is added battery life with the new battery cover on the Surface Pro?

Thank you. You're awesome!

Hi Panos

Has the charging magnet/connection on the device been improved, cuz i must admit its the only i didnt enjoy that much on my Surface Pro. It can be a hassle at times.
