My $1000 ASUS V16 Outperforms My $3200 Surface 4 in DaVinci Resolve

My $3000 Surface 4 Died — This $1000 ASUS Is Faster
Why I Switched: ASUS V16 Beats Surface 4 in Real Editing Work

My Surface Laptop 4 cost over $3000 and lasted four years before failing.
It was a premium machine, but not built for real editing work — no dedicated GPU, thermal throttling, and slow 4K timeline playback.

I replaced it with a $1000 ASUS V16, and in actual DaVinci Resolve work, it’s faster.
This video shows what failed, how both laptops compare, and why the cheaper machine ended up performing better.
