Only 8GB of RAM. That's rough. Lovely machine though
8 gigs of ram is more than sufficient the only reason to use more is if you use 30 plus chrome tabs or heavy video editing.

For this price that's forgivable.

Stop using Chrome. Edge is much better.

Was wondering two things and neither was yet answered:

- the equivalent intel processor for comparison
(seems to be well into the i7 category, regardless of the age)

- upgradable to Windows 11
(seems YES, https://www.amd.com/en/products/a...ce-edition)

If one needs a 2022 model with the fastest processor, I guess this is a terrible deal. Otherwise, it's a very respectable product.

The battery is glued on so you throw out the laptop when the battery dies.
If you're technical, it's possible to replace it using rubbing alcohol and heat to remove the glue. The laptop has a repairability score of 5/10. The SL4 has a score of 0/10.

I bough this last week and it arrived a couple days ago. It's surprising how much larger the screen feels than the 13.5 version. This is replacing an Acer Swift 3 from 2 years ago that has a supposedly newer and better i7 processor. Cinebench scored 940 for single-core and 3800 for multi-core for the SL3. The Acer scored 1080 and 3300. The bigger screen and better build quality on the SL3 easily wins out between the two. Totally worth it to buy this instead of paying 3-4 times more for a new 15" SL4.

Battery appears to be new. Look out for LED bleed though. Not as bad as the Acer had, but there still is some on the bottom edge of the SL3. Comes with a 1 year Microsoft warranty, then a year after of the All-State one.

Upgrading the SSD [youtube.com] seems fairly straightforward.

Quote from GeoffreyK24 View quoted comment :
I'm not a power user by any means but would like a capable device should the need arise to use this for Microsoft office, email, and maybe some sound analysis programs (not sure what they will require by way of specs but I doubt much). If anyone who is more tech savvy would be willing to offer any experienced/educated opinions on how good of a deal they feel this is, I would appreciate the help.
Yes this is a great option for what is considered premium device. What techies tend to forget is devices like this were not designed for nor ever marketed at them.
When Microsoft set out to build the Surface line they wanted to show that Premium AKA (Apple) could be built by its partners HP, Dell, etc and folks would buy them. Are they overpriced non upgradable devices yes without a doubt. They cost more so the partners were not competing directly on price. MS would rather take the non sale to provide HP, Dell etc to build premium vs the plastic junk we used to get from them.
I think it was a great concept at the time and has given even the hard core techies options in the laptop space that would not have come about had MS not used the tactic.
Is this a capable everyday premium device that can get the job done? No question. It is probably priced where it should have been new or within a few hundred bucks.
if you can get a decent warranty with it at this price it's well worth it.

Now the geek in me wants 16GB ram 1TB storage and a current gen cpu.

idk why all the hate towards this.
$369 is a great price imo. yes it has glued on this and glued on that, but the screen itself is worth most of the bang.

Good catch. I find this to also be typical MS marketing tactics, also similar to Apple. Its the "2021" model with a 3 year old processor….
I don't think it was anything nafarious on MS part. They started design on this back in 16 and everyone wanted AMD in a Surface device. This is what we got. I have this devise and it does not perform as well as the Intel model I have however the only way you could get the Intel model was through the business channel. You could not and still can't buy an Intel variant at Best Buy for instance.

This is a great day in day out device for the average consumer.

Props to being relevant and informative. Biggest problem with this laptop would be the SSD.

Kudos!
