We discussed his tests with peripherals. (printers, hub, storage) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomshardware.com\/news\/live\/copilot-pc-launch-2024\">software<\/a>. I was especially impressed with the Surface&#8217;s built-in microphone array when switched to it from his Beats ear buds&#8217; mic at around the 20 minute mark (chapter mark in the video). He also tested switching from the Surface&#8217;s built-in front-facing camera to a Google Pixel 8&#8217;s camera using Microsoft PhoneLink (chapter mark in the video).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eNwGBItQ5J8?si=SaZq-fk3aXmlIUG1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Available via <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/mobileviews.com-podcast\/id301171904?mt=2\">Apple iTunes<\/a>.<br \/>\n<a href=\"\u201chttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@ToddOgasawara\/podcasts\u201d\">MobileViews YouTube Podcasts channel <\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\u201chttps:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd\/MobileViewscom-Podcast-Podcast\/B08K565TQS?qid=1640555789&amp;sr=1-1&amp;ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&amp;pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&amp;pf_rd_r=TXEJVWB2VW471GJ9XQQ0\u201d&lt;\/a\">MobileViews Podcast on Audible.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jon Westfall and I are joined by guest panelist Sven Johannsen who gives his first impressions of the new Microsoft Surface Pro Copilot + PC (Snapdragon X Elite).
