That’s the sign of great design.Ī tall 3:2 display aspect ratio defines the laptop’s boxy shape. The Surface Laptop 4 is nearly identical not only to the prior Surface Laptop 3, but to the original Surface Laptop released in spring of 2017. This should help the Laptop 4 compete with Dell’s XPS 13 and Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 line-but can it catch up to Apple’s MacBook Air? The Surface Laptop 4 has new AMD and Intel processor options that promise not just a boost in performance, but also battery life. The Laptop 4’s size, weight, and screen size are nearly identical to prior models. Even Surface fans will be hard-pressed to spot any difference between the new model and its predecessor. The Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 is a small but important step forward for this mid-range laptop, though you wouldn’t know it at a glance. Keep reading for the full product review. Again, these chips are quite close on paper, and we will have to see how they perform in a real-world setting.We purchased the Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 so our reviewer could put it to the test. The 8th Gen m3-8100Y has two cores, four threads, 5W TDP (up to 8W), 4MB cache, and a 1.1GHz base frequency. The 10th Gen i3-10100Y in the Go 3 has two cores, four threads, 5W TDP (up to 7W), 4MB cache, and a 1.3GHz base frequency. Performance is likely not going to be wildly different if you're coming from a Go 2 with the Pentium chip. The 6500Y does have a larger cache (4MB compared to 2MB) and a slightly higher max frequency for its integrated graphics. The Gold 4425Y in the Go 2 is also a dual-core chip with four threads, with a 6W TDP and 1.7GHz base frequency. The Pentium Gold 6500Y in the Go 3 is a dual-core chip with four threads, 5W TDP (up to 7W), and 1.1GHz base frequency. The Surface Go 3's CPU choices don't look that impressive on paper. While benchmarks and performance numbers are not plentiful for either of these chips - we will have our own set of numbers once we have a Go 3 in for testing - we can compare them to the older Go 2 CPUs. This isn't a huge bump in power, and it's looking like the same issue of "barely enough" that we saw in the Surface Go 2 will be true once again. It's now available with either an Intel Pentium Gold 6500Y or a 10th Gen Intel Core i3-10100Y. The Surface Go 3 saw mostly a performance upgrade.
