I also set the power slider to better performance because I found best performance wasn't needed, with the brightness was set to medium. Most companies cite numbers much higher because they run synthetic tests like MobileMark or just play a local video on a loop, both of which won't come close to replicating real-world usage. It's fine, but it doesn't stand out.Īs always, I do my battery testing by using the machine as I always would. ![]() This is what I expect from an ultrabook with an average size battery and a 15W processor. As it stands, the best I was able to get is six hours and 50 minutes, while the average run was between five hours and five and a half hours. It's a bummer since a form factor like this really has the potential to have great battery life. It actually cites lower battery life for the 15-inch model, so I assume that both sizes have similar batteries. Microsoft doesn't publish the battery size on its specs page, only how much battery life it expects you to get. The Core i7-1255U has 10 cores and 12 threads. From 8th-gen through 11th-gen, all U-series processors were quad-core with eight threads. Intel has always done well on single-core scores, but with its 12th generation, it started gaining ground on multi-core thanks to its new hybrid architecture that has performance and efficiency cores. The Surface Laptop 5 benchmarks right where it should. ![]() Surface Laptop Studio Core i7-11370H, RTX A2000 Interestingly, the Surface Book 3 is still available to purchase from Microsoft’s store with a £1599. It did not see the contents of this review before publishing. The Surface Laptop Studio will be available in early 2022, with prices starting at 1599.99. A 120Hz display looks pretty, but in tough times with rising prices, it's an easy feature to leave off of your must-have list.Ībout this review : Microsoft sent us a 15-inch Surface Laptop 5 with a Core i7-1255U, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD, for review. When I'm pricing out a laptop I'm reviewing that comes out to over $2,000, it's worth wondering if it's worth it. It's just that some compromises have been made to hit a price point, and as someone that reviews almost every mainstream laptop, I have to ask how much value those lacking features add. ![]() Aside from that, the webcam is still HD, although it's been separated from the IR camera for better quality. For example, after the Surface Pro 8 got a 120Hz display last year, that was something we expected to see on the next Surface Laptop. The Surface Laptop 5 also doesn't have some of the features we expected it to have.
