Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 Amd Vs Intel

I have used several types of laptop computers, but Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is more than I expected :)

Snapdragon is a quick processor, more than Intel and AMD for a laptop. This one has some great features that work together with Windows. I like the cam login. The PC is in reduced power the second you leave, then starts right up as soon as you sit down. There is also more security with Snapdragon. Copilot+ gets better results than the desktop version. The only problem was an old 2014 Canon laser printer would not install. Three other new printers installed in a minute.

Microsoft surface pen is a great choice

AMD has ways been my go-to because of price... I have only ever built 1 Intel system and it was awesome but EXTREMELY expensive compared to my AMD builds.... It's performance was decently better, but didn't really justify the cost (IMHO). The release of RYZEN CPUs (all generations) have been spectacular. This CPU, in general, is phenomenal. I'm coming from a 6th gen i7 and the difference is night and day. I did OC a little bit, but went back to stock because F@H didn't like it. I can run F@H on full, play COD:Warzone on one display and RDP into my work rig on the other (RX 5700xt) without a hiccup. AMD has really made a huge improvement and even with newer chipset drivers, I've seen greater performance. If you're on a budget, you can't go wrong with this guy... But.... The 10th gen it's are phenomenal as well and, now, comparatively priced. I recommend this CPU for budget workstation/mid-ranged gaming rig since the boards are significantly cheaper than on the Intel platform. AMD still has a long way to go, but they've made a huge step in the right direction and finally have a competitive stance against Intel.

Caveat: I've only had the processor installed and running for a week. The processor price was retail, the shipping was super quick, and I appreciate that B&H notified me when stock was available as promised and I was able to follow the prompts to order with no issues. Packaging was sufficient and the product box was in perfect shape upon arrival. Installation was easy, I hadn't used an AMD processor before but it simply drops in the slot just like an intel processor. The AIO cooler install was ok, I found it difficult to align perfectly before tightening the screws so it slid around a little bit which isn't ideal for the thermal paste, but not too much... I hope. But it was quick and easy technically. I recall having more annoyances with the intel backplate style install on prior systems. The processor functions perfectly as far as I can tell, and scored very high on UserBenchmark software even relative to the same hardware in other systems. I haven't overclocked anything, and haven't done any real tough workload tasks yet... but so far along with the high end graphics card and storage the PC is insanely fast and snappy. So I think all is as it should be. Played the opening sequence of Star Wars Squadrons and performance was perfectly smooth, though that might be more due to the graphics card. Thanks AMD for the great product, and B&H for the great experience. If anything changes I'll try to update the review here.

AMD has finally, and fully, eclipsed Intel's performance in desktop PCs

Pairs with the Microsoft Surface Go I got as a gift for my spouse. She's quite happy with it.

Microsoft's PC Health Check informed me that my 6-year old PC with an Intel I7 was not able to upgrade to Windows 11 for a number of hardware related reasons. I look at similarly configured PCs as to what I had and a new system would run well over $2K. I bought this bundle, 32GB of memory and a 1TB NVME SSD for about $750. Everything was very simple to install, and if you have any questions, there are loads of Youtube videos showing how to install this combo. The motherboard recognized the CPU without needing to flash the BIOS and in less than an hour I pretty much had a brand new system, much faster than my old one, for 1/3 the price. Total score. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this bundle.

Glad to see AMD can finally take on Intel on the gaming area, but for the price ($450 at the time of purchase) seems a bit expensive as 3900X 12-Core is sold at similar price.

Im a long time die hard Intel fan. And for many years, that was easy to do, since Intel was so far ahead of AMD in terms of performance. Not so anymore. I have a lot of PC gamer friends who made the switch to AMD, but I held out for a long time. Upgraded from an i5-8400 to an i5-9600k, hoping it would get rid of my lag, and give me more performance. Not the case. After making the switch to this processor, my days of lagging are gone. Even everyday performance is better. Unzipping files, multitasking, and photo editing all increased in performance.
