Feedback on the Surface 7 Snapdragon X Plus
Wow, what a major leap forward Microsoft have made with the Surface 7 Snapdragon X plus.
Putting it alongside my MacBook Air M3 13 inch there is hardly any difference.
Major points -
Qualcomm snapdragon X plus provides power and long battery life without the heat and power drain of an Intel chip.
Fully laminated screen, thin bezels.
Aluminium body, feels just like the MacBook Air M3.
Thin inline magnetic charging attachment.
Keyboard does not show marks like the MacBook Air which looks old and worn within months.
Good trackpad, although I mainly use a Logi Pebble mouse.
Nice and small charger.
I own a MacBook Air M3 and now a Microsoft Surface 7 Snapdragon X Plus (Both 13 inch) but I like the Surface more.
I cant wait to see what the next generation of QUALCOMM processors will look like.
My usage - Chrome, G mail, MS Office apps, internet, no gaming.

Very strange sense of humour you have?? This is a major step back for me, and I assume most users. I purchased the Surface Laptop 7, Snapdragon X Elite in good faith and immediately not being able to connect numerous devices wirelessly, (printers, Projector, visitors devices that worked seamlessly before for years...) MS Teams Conference Videos or calls, Bluetooth inconsistencies with many peripherals, Touchpad not working, etc, etc. ARM is CRAP!!
My main frustration has been MS "LIED" to me during online purchase. I always use the chat if available and lucky I did as MS immediately supported me returning the crap device a week later. I have a Surface Pro9 and a wonderful device, but the snapdragon, terrible.
