The video discusses two new laptop releases: the Microsoft Laptop Studio and the Framework laptop.
The Laptop Studio is a 2-in-1 device from Microsoft's Surface line. It features a 14.4-inch touchscreen with 120Hz, a powerful Intel i5 or i7 processor, and a Dynamic Woven Hinge that allows the screen to be completely lowered for presenting or completely flat for use as a drawing tablet. The laptop also has a place for the Surface Slim Pen 2. However, the webcam is not very high quality.
The Framework laptop is the first modular laptop, which means it can be opened to access and replace components. It offers a lot of flexibility with its "expansion cards" for the I/O ports, which can be USB-C, USB-A, Micro-SD, Display port, HDMI, or Extra storage. The laptop comes in three configurations, or a do-it-yourself version, and ranges from 1150 to 2280 euros. The recommended model is the Performance one, which comes with an 11th gen i7 chip, 16 GB of memory, and 512 GB of storage for 1600 euros. The Framework laptop is not a budget laptop, but it's not intended to be that way either. It's an investment in the future, with plans to upgrade the Intel chip and start a swap market for second-hand parts. The laptop has a solid build quality, a great keyboard, biometric security, closures for the webcam and microphone, and an excellent 13.5 inch screen. It also has Windows 10, but it can be upgraded to Windows 11 immediately. The only real weak spot is the webcam.
The video also mentions the return of Samsung to the laptop market with their new Book2 Pro laptop and Book2 Pro 360 2-in-1. The laptops are light, slim, sleek, and have enough ports. Samsung's new laptops are equipped with Quick Share, Easy Bluetooth, Second Screen for Galaxy Tab tablets, QuickSearch, Recent Apps and Open in Desktop/Browser, and Link to Windows. They also have Samsung's SmartThings app and the ability to connect your Galaxy smartphone wirelessly to your Book2 laptop. However, the video expresses concern about whether Samsung will be able to compete in the laptop market, given the dominance of the big three: Lenovo, HP, and Dell.
