The introduction video for the surface 4 showed Ori when it said optimized for gaming, so it's marketed to play lighter single player experiences like Ori, Lost Words, Little Nightmares and the numerous upcoming indies on Game Pass.
wow... to see the cinebench benchmark just puts time into perspective. I had the Ryzen 1800x back in the day and that was an amazing desktop processor. But to see the Surface Laptop 4 actually outbench the 1700x in single core and be competitive in multicore against a desktop processor is just amazing. i wish the Surface Pro 8 had an AMD option! make it happen! AMD does have a powerful 15W chip that would be perfect.
I have little doubt that you'll see more AMD powered Surface's come out. There will probably be an AMD Surface Book at some point as well. AMD makes custom Ryzen chips for Microsoft so needless to say Microsoft kind of likes them lol
Loving the Surface Laptop 4 setup so far! Haven't had too much time to mess around designing yet but GamePass and xCloud run great. Surprisingly with the PC xCloud beta it ran fantastic and the PC widget tools were crisp. I ran Horizon4, Sims4, a few smaller indies like Rain on Your Parade and Narita Boy from the cloud, my longest streaming sessions yet (normally use my Note20 w Kishi, MLB The Show is fantastic). I did notice in Horizon4 that the frames/focus on the car were pretty bad when playing off the hard drive but clear from the cloud. I was also not able to get FlightSimulator running smoothly as it couldn't process the real-time terrain and kept flashing to black, might be able to tweak the settings but I'll probably just wait to play it on SeriesX. Overall we're loving the Surface4 with top specs. Definitely a top tier feel and build, screen colors are bright and full even without 4k, and the sound is amazing.
Also played xCloud on iPad (3yrs old) and it worked well, need to run it through some more games. It did recommend with a prompt to use the Xbox cloud gaming link instead of safari fora better experience, made a huge difference.
For the people that want a thin, sleek laptop that can run titles considerably very good and comes with a very good battery life: Check out the Lenovo Ideapad 5 with the mx450 gpu or any laptop that has the newest mx450 in it.
It didn’t run really well. If you want a sleek, thin laptop that can game and has good battery life look at the Lenovo Ideapad 5 with the mx450 in it. It runs most titles at 1080p with a really good framerate and is cheap
Hey Brad, I cannot help but notice your silence on what's going on between Microsoft and Nintendo right now. In Phil spencer's latest what I presume as an interview, he had a Nintendo switch in the background. Usually these background items mean something, so do you have any inside information you are willing to share?👀
On twitter, he mentioned that they got mad at him last time for leaking the series s. So I don't think he will be leaking or mentioning anything anytime soon.
Yo Brad, does it allow you to get the Radeon app and turn off the Vari Bright option? It's that dimming and brightening feature you mentioned in your SL3 review
@@WilliamSmith-hf8um Well yep. Maybe you do need to check the radeon app. I dont know if it has that feature. But it appears there different ways that dont require you to mess with the registry
My Ryzen 5 4600u beats this. I am shocked to see this. After all you can get a gaming laptop for cheaper and play triple A games. Microsoft really needs to rethink its pricing points.
You're paying for the form factor and building materials. These "Ultrabooks" are always overpriced if you're just looking at specs. You're paying for the "experience" and the small form factor
Does it work well?? I have a ps5 but I do miss old halo but I do have this laptop and I'm thinking of buying it but if it won't run then whats the point yk?
Got the Ryzen 5 8GB really just for web browsing, I do have a gaming PC already. I'm just dead curious if I could hop on games like GTAIV and Valheim every once in a while on it
I had an acer swift with the same processor for a couple of weeks. It can run some games at low settings smoothly. But games like warzone it will barely run.
Looking forward to getting mine Wednesday. I got the i7 16gb RAM will it run a game that’s recommended… Intel Core i3, 2.4 Ghz or equivalent Memory: 4 GB RAM Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GT 240 or equivalent, minimum 512 MB of VRAM Thanks in advance.
can you maybe do one were you do a reveiw on it about halo infinate bc it said for mine that the graphics does not meet the minimum requirements even know i do. I have the same one as your laptop. im trying to get it to work, please help me
Can you play hearthstone on this without it getting hot and the fans turning on? Have a nice laptop from 2019 similar to this one, but it can't handle even that.
Do you have an antivirus software ?! When I try to run COD warfare it crashes, Activision states it due to having a antivirus software on my PC and if removed would fix the issue. Well I’m not removing it. How else can I fix this issue ?!
Surface not a gaming laptop... Microsoft says the surface pro 7 with an i3 and 4gb of ram is a gaming laptop that’s better than the m1 MacBook Pro! Even a max is better than that
Dude, no fps counter in fortnite, you don't show the settings in either game, clearly your settings are tuned horribly in at least fortnite, and you only showed two games Wtf
everyone has to remember he’s screen recording on top of the game which majority of you won’t do that so the performance will be better
Surface laptop 4: I am a fresh laptop!
Gamers: Here we go again
Microsoft should be making Xbox gaming laptops that directly compete with the likes of Alienware
That would be awesome but it would probably ruin Xbox sales lol. I much rather have a portable gaming laptop than an xbox.

Could it do games like minecraft Java edition Or war thunder?
@@goodey2774 Minecraft Java for sure, even my old laptop with a hdd runs it, alltough it was needed to install some mods
@@MichaelK1710 but minecraft with light and water reflections mods, can it run at 60fps?
i mean, shaders, not rtx cause dont have it
@@demonicguy probably not but there’s a lot of laptops more powerful and still tiny for the same price if ur wanting 60fps in games
Can you game on the surface laptop 4? Your about to find out

He’s back
How can you own "about"?

Would be nice to see CPU and GPU temperatures for it as well.
Just ordered the 34ram 1tb, mostly for design and editing, but excited to try out GamePass PC finally. Let's go!
Update us on how it goes! I'm really curious how it works with GamePass as well!
How is it?
When will u get it?

Brad -- did you say you were going to throw this up on lttstore.com??? ;)
He did!
Yeah, it was so funny!!!
Said he was good at Warzone, his gameplay, aim, and movement determined that was a lie
Plays with circle minimap and thermal scope lol.

Lenovo laptops are shit don’t get them mine is so slow
Wish they had more promo so i woulda knew this was coming out. Just brought a gaming laptop 2 days ago for second life and it feels huge, so jealous

Thanks man exactly what I was looking for!!
Would lower graphics games work like for example Minecraft or maybe like the Sims work do you think?
I have a Surface Laptop 4. It games amazingly well with Geforce NOW.
What kind of games do u play on it? I want it to be able to run sims 4 and Minecraft
@@analiesegold4830 he is using gforce now which is a cloud gaming service
Yo Brad, does it allow you to get the Radeon app and turn off the Vari Bright option? It's that dimming and brightening feature you mentioned in your SL3 review
You dont need the radeon app to disable it
How else? I don't wanna mess with the registry man, it voids the warranty
@@WilliamSmith-hf8um Idk, but i dont think you have to mess with the registry. Just search up how to yurn it off for the 3. Should be the same

It would be interesting to compare the games against te M1 MacBooks (Dying light, Black Ops 3, Fortnite, etc)
Lol gaming on Macbook
@@ryhanzfx1641 gaming on Intel MacBooks was terrible, but with the M1 chip it's another story.

Loved that propeller-action 🥳
How about the temperature after doing some hard work / play game?
Would emulators run fine? Mostly psx2? What about games like persona 4 golden on high settings?
You should've tried Halo Master Chief Collection, specially Halo 2 Anniversary at max settings I think it could handle it
yes!! halo mcc is the main gaming im going to be doing on my surface laptop 4. would like to know how it runs
Does it work well?? I have a ps5 but I do miss old halo but I do have this laptop and I'm thinking of buying it but if it won't run then whats the point yk?

I had an acer swift with the same processor for a couple of weeks. It can run some games at low settings smoothly. But games like warzone it will barely run.
Is this the amd version? Will the intel versions with the Xe graphics be better?
Do you think minecraft would be a good game to play on this laptop

I bet Valorant would play well
hi Brad, could you tell me why cant i buy the same configuration of Surface Laptop 4 as the one your using.
can you maybe do one were you do a reveiw on it about halo infinate bc it said for mine that the graphics does not meet the minimum requirements even know i do. I have the same one as your laptop. im trying to get it to work, please help me
Can you play hearthstone on this without it getting hot and the fans turning on?
Have a nice laptop from 2019 similar to this one, but it can't handle even that.
Pretty sure it be fine. I'm using a shitty old Mac at the moment. And it plays but overheats a lot. So it should be fine
I'm playing hearthstone on my surface go 2 and it works great, so it probably works even better with this laptop
I have bought it and ran lol it was blowing out air like a car ac on high and it was super hot
@@chibearslight1900 I figured as much.
Rapid answer: No
*Flies away*
Big question, can it run Crysis?
Jesus lol.
Yesn't
It can run 2007 Crysis easy peasy no problem, it's a pretty old game
@@dev1lm4n63 Yeah they still needed to update it, I glad they did because it wasn't optimized or supported for allot of FPS.
uh, they're already on sale? They're about $130 off at Microsoft.
Let us be honest, this is not for anyone that is serious or wants to enjoy gaming! Sad no eGPU support via Thunderbolt on the Intel versions.
How's the battery!
So they could run bo1?
Does this laptop run ea sports fifa?
Do you have an antivirus software ?! When I try to run COD warfare it crashes, Activision states it due to having a antivirus software on my PC and if removed would fix the issue. Well I’m not removing it. How else can I fix this issue ?!
I have the same exact PC as you BTW
Why did youtube unsubscribe me from this channel?
Hmm me thinks the Intel chip version would be better?
I wonder if the Iris Xe version would fair better🤔
There is none only for surface book 3
And studio laptop
Would it be okay to play sims4 with mods lmao
this is 4980U chip?
Is roblox okay on it?
i wish they would put a real gpu on these things
That's why the Surface Book line is a thing
@@Icybubba yeah but it throttles like crazy because they're obsessed with making stuff thin
Putting a real GPU would increase the cost, kill the battery and make it run VERY HOT. This is meant a productivity device, not a gaming device.
@@Coldsteak Then you're missing the point of these devices
Or at least TB3/4 support so we can hook up external GPUs

it says the FPS at the top left corner

2 f-ing games?!! Come on man. All the games in the world.
I will get one for the wife
looks like nintendo game
No
Not for gaming for sure ! Sucks and expensive
