Surface User Update February 2025

This is a user update from the UK for Surface 10 core XIP6400 16Gb 512GB 13 inch Laptop.

Almost identical in use to MacBook Air M3 (Apart from OS) but better battery life.

Fully laminated screen with thin bezels.

No fan noise heard so far.

Services disabled -

- Connected user exp and telemetry.

- Dolby Dax

- Windows Search

- All Xbox apps

- SSD indexing.

It looks like the Arm Snapdragon has transformed the Surface Laptop.

A question -

My surface laptop has a 2230 M.2 512GB ssd which appears to be a SDDPTQD 1124 WD. Is there any

benefit in changing to a Samsung 2230 990/991. Would this impact battery life or heat generation ?

ie, The Samsung is better in theory but would I ever notice using MS Office/emails, etc.
