The unique week experience of Microsoft Surface Laptop notebook.
IT 168 Evaluation Surface Laptop is Microsoft's first real notebook computer. Relatively speaking, the previous Surface Pro and Surface Book were two-in-one tablets in form. Although Surface Laptop is a notebook that looks very traditional, through Surface Laptop, we also believe that Microsoft does not want her to have the same appearance as a traditional notebook. How to make her look unusual? Especially in positioning, at least give educators, students and consumers a reason to buy laptops. At present, this Surface Laptop notebook computer has been sold in Microsoft China Mall, and I believe many friends have already experienced it. What kind of computer is Surface Laptop? What changes can it bring to my life and work? After a week's experience, let me give you a summary.

Appearance specifications and configuration

For me, web application, text input and image processing are my main work contents, that is, Office, Photoshop, Chrome browser, QQ, WeChat and other common clients. In fact, a lot of work is mainly done on web pages, such as email, network disk, music, video, shopping and so on. Used for calendar, weather, news and other applications. I am also used to using the application of Microsoft App Store, which is convenient and different.

There is also an extension of USB interface on the power adapter of Microsoft Surface Laptop notebook, which is really convenient to charge the mobile phone. There is a USB interface on the body of Surface Laptop. Because I use a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse, there seems to be little demand for the interface.

The processor of this Surface Laptop notebook I experienced is Intel Core i5-7200U, dual-core four-thread processor, Kaby Lake architecture, 8GB memory and 256 storage space. At present, there are other versions on Microsoft official website. Due to its thin and light design, Surface Laptop does not use a separate graphics card. In addition, in terms of battery life, 14 hours of office is enough for one day, so this is also the reason why processors, graphics cards and other accessories are designed with low power consumption.

Anyone who has seen the Surface laptop will say that it is really beautiful. It looks like a laptop, but when it is turned on, the soft and durable Alcantara material on the keyboard is very attractive, similar to suede. However, due to special treatment, it can be splash-proof, stain-proof, moisture-proof and easier to clean. We are probably most worried about pouring coke and getting wet hands. Actually, it's easy to clean up The application of this material is also one of the biggest differences from other notebook computers.

On the whole, Surface Laptop still has the shadow of Surface Pro, with the same exquisite and simple design, but the thickness of 14.4mm is much thinner than that of Surface Pro, and the weight is only 1.25kg, and I got silver. Surface Laptop has four colors, as well as bright platinum, deep wine red, gray cobalt blue and graphite gold, all of which are my favorite colors.

Not only in the office, going out for meetings, or going to coffee shops, I will naturally bring this Surface laptop. I didn't like to bring a heavy computer after work, but now I have a Surface laptop, which has changed my lifestyle a little. I spend more time browsing the web, and I can handle the work that needs to be handled in time at any time. Of course, no matter where it is, it is eye-catching, which is also expected.

The display screen of Surface Laptop is quite good, 13.5 inches, the resolution is 2256× 1504, the aspect ratio is 3:2, it supports touch, and the color display is very clear and gorgeous, which makes me not tired of using it for a long time. Above the screen are webcams and ambient light sensors, which can be used to set up face login, and its login speed is very fast. I have experienced other face recognition before, and Surface Laptop is obviously the best at present.

Since it is a notebook computer as a productivity tool, Surface Laptop has done a good job in dealing with the keyboard and touchpad. Not only does it feel good, but even though I have a lot of text input and PPT production, the operation experience is perfect, which is much better than my expectation for ultra-thin notebooks. Of course, with the three-level adjustable keyboard backlight, the convenience is obvious in poor light environment.

Such a thin body will definitely sacrifice the interface, but Surface Laptop still provides USB3.0 interface, DP interface and earphone/microphone interface. The power supply adopts magnetic interface, and there is also a USB interface on the power adapter. This design is also very clever.

Surface Laptop also performed well in terms of battery life. According to official data, the video can be played for 14.5 hours. In my daily use, office, web pages, videos and so on are all fine. 9 10 hour. If I use it every once in a while, I don't turn off the system very much. Wherever I go, just cover it. You don't need to bring a power adapter for a day's work.

You need to know these characteristics.

What is Windows 10 S?

Microsoft's Surface Laptop notebook is pre-installed with the Windows S version of the operating system. Many people may have heard of this system for the first time. Why not the home version? It's not a professional version either? In fact, Windows 10 S is a specific configuration version of Windows 10 Professional Edition, which can provide a familiar and efficient Windows experience and be simplified to improve security and performance. Windows 10 S only uses the applications in the Windows Store and uses Microsoft Edge to browse safely, thus ensuring that your computer runs quickly and safely every day.

Can you understand? Simply put, the S version is simple and safe. For many users, the requirements for using computers are very simple, that is, work, browsing the web, work plan and so on. In particular, you won't download too many third-party software installations, and the applications in the Windows App Store are enough. Therefore, this version of the system is characterized by simplicity and security.

Can I change it to Windows 10 Professional Edition? How to switch?

You can switch to Windows 10 Professional Edition, which is free from now until 20 17 12 3 1, and then you have to pay for the upgrade. If you want to use more functions, such as running applications outside the Windows Store or using remote desktop, BitLocker and other functions, you can easily switch at any time.

It should be noted that switching to Windows 10 Professional Edition is one-way. If the switch will not be able to go back to Windows 10 S, customers who have received Office products (the gift activity is valid before 20 17 10 15) need to switch their operating systems to Windows 10 Professional Edition. It is recommended that you install and activate the received Office products before system switching.

Who is Windows 10 S designed for?

Windows 10 S is inspired by the interaction between teachers and students, which is more suitable for schools. Windows 10 S is also a good choice for Windows customers who pursue consistent performance and higher security. Since only the applications in the Windows Store are used, Windows 10 S is suitable for users who can meet their needs only through the Windows Store and don't like to risk downloading applications from other platforms.

A little advice

I have said a lot about the Excellence of Surface Laptop, but it is not perfect. What I want to vomit most is the interface. It is precisely because Surface Laptop is thin enough that there are only USB and DP on the interface. Needless to say, HDMI should have at least Type-C and lightning interfaces. This is a trend now. For many devices, it is more convenient to have such an interface.

In addition, the resolution of 13.5 inch display is only 2K. Although it looks good, I believe it can reach 3K or even 4K screen. Of course, a high-resolution screen also means power consumption, so if the next Surface laptop can achieve 4K, and the battery life will not be reduced, it would be really better.

Summary:

Although it hasn't taken long enough, everyone who sees the Surface laptop will have a good impression, especially the unique keyboard surface. Students and some young office workers will further ask about the price after reading it. Surface Laptop is attractive enough to consumers in appearance, light and beautiful, and its performance has not declined. 8GB of memory and 256 SSD make it run quite well. In addition, the battery life is good, and you won't be embarrassed when you go to the meeting because there is no electricity. The price of Surface laptop is not expensive. If students buy, they can also enjoy educational concessions. For such a high-value notebook, I think Surface Laptop is very worth recommending.
