Hi, I'm Yehwa
Recently, Microsoft has released
Copilot+PC, which I'd like to introduce today!
I brought Surface Pro 11th edition, Surface Laptop 7th edition
There have been many changes since the first launch in 2012
Copilot+PC has been released, which is the first released model
After using this model, my brief impression about it is
That nothing can beat the original
Because of the design, display, its performance, and AI functions
I'll show this model in detail!
Stay with me until the end of this video!
Before showing these two models
For those who aren't usually very interested in PC
They must not be familiar with Copilot and Copilot+PC
So I'll explain them briefly
To maximize a user's productivity and efficiency
Copilot, released by Microsoft, is an AI-based service
To put it simply
It's like an AI assistant that automizes various tasks
Copilot+PC focuses on maximized utilization of Copilot service
What is important is
According to Window version or update status
Copilot can be installed automatically
Even if Copilot has been installed
You can't call it a Copilot+PC
Only the devices which meet the 3 requirements set by Microsoft
can be called Copilot+PC
(#1 requirement of Copilot+PC Hardware) The minimum requirement is that
It has to be equipped with NPU with higher than 40TOPS for on-device AI
(#2 requirement of Copilot+PC Hardware) The minimum memory has to be over DDR5 or LPDDR5 16GB
(#3 requirement of Copilot+PC Hardware) An SSD with the capacity of over 256GB
And it has to be equipped with UFS storing device
To put it easily, for the devices called Copliot+PC
Their performance has been verified
Also, what is important is
NPU
(As of Aug 2024) Out of all processors released so far
The only series which meets the requirements is Snapdragon X supporting 45TOPS
Wait!
NPU? TOPS? What are those..
I'll explain them easily
NPU is chipsets
To make AI functions more quick
TOPS is operation count
Dealt by NPU by second
1TOPS means 1-trillion operation count per second
45TOPS means 45-trillion operation count per second
Isn't it easy?
Snapdragon X series has
Two models: Elite and Plus
You can choose the processor from the options for both products
I'll tell you about the processor later!
I'm going to show you what functions you can use with Copilot+PC
Something different about Copilot+PC from other products is
On the keyboard, there's a separate Copilot key next to the Kor/Eng key
If you press it, Copilot starts right away
You can search the information you want
Or create images!
Normally, to find information at once
You have to go to several websites
I found myself using it often, as I can find information quickly through the chat
To show you how accurate it is
I asked it to solve some questions from last year's Korean SAT
English, math, and Korean history
There were zero wrong answers
And when I'm working on a document
For when we need to find an image to use as an example
You have to find an image that you like
Check the copyrights
And it just so happens
You have to pay for the image that you like
But if you create an image on Copilot
You can save time and do not have to worry about copyright
And as I use it, it can be used for images
For brand logos, characters, and product drafts
I thought it would be great for creating rough drafts!
I'm really looking forward to the upcoming recall function
Recall means to remember something
(Easy to check past records with natural language search) It automatically remembers all the work I've done before
So I can find the information I want anytime by using natural language search
Isn't it amazing?
I'm sure you've experienced this at least once
You worked hard on something
But you accidentally didn't save it and you turned it off
(Scary just thinking about it;;) You start sweating then become frustrated
And you can't help but just laugh
With the recall function
You can search for it and bring it back right away
So you don't have to worry about losing unsaved documents
BUT
Recall is a good function
But please make it a habit to press Ctrl+S
It's functional, but it saves all the work
Which can make you worried about security
But it's a function that runs locally without using a cloud server
So you can use it without being worried
To explain other functions
We have a lot of face-to-face meetings these days
But we also have a lot of online meetings, right?
Windows Studio Effects can
(Higher camera,microphone quality through AI) use functions such as blur, Portrait focus mode is available
And the function which upgrades my drawings
called 'Cocreator' fascinated me
If the images were simply made through recognizing texts
Then, I would have to do it until I'm happy with it
(AI creates artwork based on sketches and texts) This function upgrades the quality based on your own sketches
(Even gibberish drawings turn out exactly the way you desire) It's convenient since all I have to do is sketch roughly
The directions are very simple
First, you draw with a slim pen
Then, just enter whatever you want!
Watercolor paintings, oil paintings, ink sketches, animation, pixel arts, etc.
You can get various results
(Complete transformation) Do you see the difference between the two results?
To be honest, whenever I use this
(To great of a recreation) I think to myself "Oh! Did I actually draw this?"
And this function
(Works better with a slim pen) There was quite a difference between when you use a slim pen or not
Lastly, speaking for myself
(Paid service) I'm using Copilot Pro
I'll tell you in advance
If you use the functions that are available from Microsoft365
You should definitely use it
To show you starting with Powerpoint
If you press on the Copilot button on the right
And type the topic you want to create
(The draft is instantly completed) Do you see this?
The AI creates a draft version of the file on its own
And I use the Microsoft Word more often
If you type in the topic
And ask for a Youtube dialogue or a blog post
It starts writing down without any hesitation
When I was working, it was difficult for me to prepare the data
When I have to go into a meeting in a hurry
I get sweaty and nervous
(No worries with Copilot) But it takes only a minute
No, it might only take 30 seconds to organize the data that I need
I'm going to tell you how to use
the functions that I mentioned, in the right way
First, the Surface Pro 11th Edition
Which is a laptop and tablet 2 in 1
The overall design is
almost the same to the previous versions
It's a full aluminium material with a metallic
finishing touch to it
Which makes it look luxurious
The colors are platinum, black, and sapphire
And the newly released dune
There are a total of 4 colors
I brought the dune color
To me it feels like rose gold color
With a slight pearly shimmer
so it's so pretty
Just like me?
(It's a fact, after all) I won't apologize
The biggest design feature is
the adjustable kickstand
The angle can be adjusted up to 165 degrees
When I'm working, I usually use it like this
connected to a keyboard in laptop mode
When watching videos or relaxing, I use it in tablet mode!
By the way, the hinge feels a bit stiff
due to its durability
But I've never found it inconvenient when adjusting the angle
Rather, if the hinge was too loose
(I might have become a regular at the service center^^;;) I think I would have visited the service center often
And if you look at the bottom of the kickstand, there's something there!
It's an SSD slot
You can easily open it by pressing the round part
So if you're using the product
and want to replace the SSD, keep this in mind!
It has just the right amount of buttons and ports
Since it's a 2-in-1 product
There's a power and volume button on the top
Two C-TYPE ports on the left
And a Surface-specific charging port on the right
By the way, C-type charging is also possible
so you don't always need to carry the dedicated charger
To properly use a 2-in-1 product
A keyboard is a must
There are two types of keyboards
Signature and Flex, both with the Slim Pen
Basically, the Slim Pen
Whether drawing or taking notes
It's fast and smooth to use
(The Slim Pen's usability is great) The feel was much better than I expected
I've used both keyboards alternately
and I think this would depend on personal preference
The reason is, first, the typing feel
No matter how much I compared, it was almost the same
But there was a difference in the trackpads!
To make a comparison
(The Flex keyboard feels silent due to its electronic haptic trackpad) Signature feels mechanical, Flex feels silent
(Yehwa gives Flex a win for the touch!) In my opinion, Flex wins for the touch!
Also, the Flex keyboard can connect via Bluetooth
so you can use it even when it's a bit far from the main body
But design-wise, Flex comes in a single black color
while Signature comes in 4 colors to match the product
(Signature wins for visual cohesion when connected!) When connected, the basic one looks prettier to the eye
Both are made of Alcantara material, which feels soft and nice
(It might be a bit inconvenient if you sweat a lot...) People who sweat a lot might need to be a bit annoying
Basically, the score is tied 1-1, but
If I had to choose only one
(Yewha's pick is the Flex keyboard) Then my choice is the Flex keyboard
(Practical is the best) I’m more of a practical person than someone who cares about the look
And for the main unit, it's 208mm wide and 287mm tall
9.3 mm thick and weighs 895g
When you connect the Flex Keyboard, the total weight is still around 1.2kg
Compared to typical laptops, it's lighter and thinner
After using the product, I was really satisfied with its portability
(Perfect for frequent meetings and fieldwork!) If you often have meetings or outside work then you will definitely be satisfied with this
Now let's talk about the performance
First let me quickly go over the specifications
The processor is Snapdragon X Elite
It comes with a 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD
As I always say
since the price varies depending on the options you choose
make sure to choose the one that best fits your needs!
First, I ran a benchmark test using Cinebench 2024
When connected to power
the multi-core score was 871, and the single-core score was 109
What was interesting is that when it wasn’t connected to power
the multi-core score was 854 and the single-core score was 104
The scores were surprisingly similar!
You might not have a clear sense of what these numbers mean but
just know that the performance is about 90% better compared to the previous model
And besides portability, I was most satisfied with
the display
It comes with a 13-inch OLED touch display
that supports a resolution of 2880x1920
It also supports a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz
Typically, displays have a 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio, but
this one has a 3:2 aspect ratio and a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1
The brightness goes up to 600 nits in SDR mode
and up to 900 nits in HDR mode!
For those who are using this for the first time
might feel awkward with the display ratio
but you will get used to this soon
Since it's taller than a typical laptop
you will find it convenient because you can see more content on the screen
This also means you will end up scrolling less!
I've used it indoors
as well as outdoors
It was comfortable to use but what I found a bit disappointing was
I’ve gotten used to the Corning Gorilla Glass 5, but
there is still some reflection
And the Snapdragon X Elite is combined with the OLED
The Snapdragon X+ is
combined with the LCD display
I'll be clear about this!
(The ultimate choice: OLED) O L E D
When using tablet mode
I’ve been using the touch display quite well
The response speed of both the touch and keyboard is fast
so when I have a lot to carry, I find it okay to just take the main unit!
I usually use it in dual mode at home
and you can connect up to three monitors with a maximum resolution of 4K at 60Hz
The biggest reason for using a laptop is
portability and no matter how powerful it is
(Short battery life is a white elephant...) if the battery life is short, it becomes useless, right?
Depending on the usage environment
you can use it for up to 14 hours
so I’ve never had a moment where I thought, “Oh no, my battery is dead!” while attending meetings
Of course, you shouldn’t be playing games in between
(Go do some work!) Focus on your work!
Lastly, I think some of you might be curious about the sound
It’s equipped with 2W stereo speakers that support Dolby Atmos
so let me play it for you
I'll also show you the Surface Laptop 7th Edition
How should I describe the overall design?
Well-crafted? Sharply refined?
It gives off a neat, straight As student vibe
and the sapphire color is just stunning
When people around me ask
"Hey, what's your favorite color?"
(Yehwa's answer is always sky blue) My top pick is sky blue
And the sapphire color is also applied inside
and the keyboard color combination is just perfect!
Just as a joke
I thought it was the Surface Laptop Yehwa Edition
(I’m crazy about sky blue, seriously into it) I’m really into sky blue, I'm a sky blue fanatic
Now, if I show you the port configuration
on the right side, there’s a Surface-specific charging port
and on the left, there are two USB-C ports, one USB-A port
and a 3.5mm headphone port
The dimensions are 220mm wide, 301mm long
and the thickness is 17.5mm, with a weight of 1.34kg
The weight and thickness are quite decent!
Although the overall size has been reduced compared to its predecessor
the display has a 2304x1563 resolution
and it’s equipped with a 13.8-inch Pixel Sense Flow touch display
so the screen is actually 0.3 inches larger!
You know how small differences can make a big impact, right?
A 0.3-inch difference on a laptop is quite significant!
The maximum brightness is 600nits for both SDR and HDR
and it supports up to 120Hz
While I haven’t found it inconvenient to use
But if I had to pick one slight drawback
It would be the lack of an OLED option
But that’s just because I’m really into displays
The standard one is more than enough!
And because I keep thinking of it as a laptop
I often unconsciously forget that it has a touch display
Whose loss is it if I don’t use it?
Mine
So if you’re purchasing this product
don’t forget to use it like I do!
The processor is Snapdragon X Plus
with a 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD
I ran a benchmark test with Cinebench 2024
When connected to power
the multi-core score was 833 and the single-core score was 106
When not connected to power
827 for multi-core and 101 for single-core
(There isn’t a big difference between the Elite and Plus models!) What surprised me was that compared to the Elite processor
there wasn’t a huge difference
Of course, there’s bound to be a price difference
depending on the processor
but if you’re purchasing this for document work or simple video and image editing
the Plus model is more than sufficient!
The typing feel and trackpad
are among the best I’ve tried recently
As you all know
The keyboard spacing
shouldn’t be too narrow or too wide!
The spacing is just right, which I liked
and the typing feel is quiet and smooth
Lastly, the battery life is ample
at up to 20 hours
After using both products, here’s what I felt
You know how people say
“For gaming, the equipment makes a difference”
In this new AI era
it seems that good equipment will make a difference for work and study too
And honestly, I thought Copilot + PC
might be a bit premature
But when I think about it
I had the same thought
when AI was first introduced
These days, it’s harder to find a field without AI!
So for those of you considering Copilot + PC
Everyone!
Consideration only delays the delivery
