1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:07,600
Microsoft brought us all the way to China to check out their new Surface Pro

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:10,000
not the Surface Pro 5 just the Surface

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:14,839
Pro which is totally different from the Surface Pro that was released in 2013

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:21,800
and also totally different from the Surface Pro 4 this is the new Surface

5
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:27,359
Pro lonus said after not exactly being too enthusiastic with Surface Pro 1

6
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:32,200
through three that version 4 was where he thought the concept finally lined up

7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:43,440
with Microsoft's Vision so now it's time to see how far they take it from

8
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:53,000
there we're hosting LTX 2017 on July

9
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:54,800
29th 2017 it's a Meetup Tech Carnival

10
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:00,000
thing and uh it's going to be a lot of fun learn more at the link in the video

11
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,000
description first let's start with specs under the hood you can pick your

12
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:09,000
processor you can go from an Intel M3 to a core i5 to even a core i7 for RAM you

13
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:14,200
can range yourself from 4 gigs to 16 gigs and for storage you can go with

14
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:16,799
solid state drives from 128 gigs to 1

15
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:21,720
tab with the 1 tab option being in the NVMe ultra fast variety but depending on

16
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:25,880
your flavor of choice you'll be shelling out anywhere from

17
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:30,560
$800 to 2700 you're paying for that performance

18
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:36,720
in NVMe drive I would would say that my sweet spot would probably be the core i5

19
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:38,720
with 8 gigs of RAM and a 256 gig SSD but

20
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,680
if you do want those Iris Pro graphics for doing more graphical stuff or even

21
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:48,280
some minor gaming you might want to upgrade that being said the M3 and I5

22
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:52,159
models don't have a fan they're all cooled so well that they are fanless

23
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:55,360
operation which is pretty sweet if you want a silent computer they claimed at

24
00:01:54,119 --> 00:02:00,200
the event that the performance of the laptop went up by 20% over its previous

25
00:01:58,119 --> 00:02:03,520
version that seems a little int considering the processor upgrade that

26
00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:07,439
they had so we'll have to investigate this claim more back at the office but

27
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:12,040
one thing that they did state that was super cool is that there's 4.5 hours

28
00:02:10,119 --> 00:02:19,080
more battery life over top of the Surface Pro 4 which brings you to

29
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:21,760
13.5 hours of video playback battery

30
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:27,599
it's also rocking a beautiful 12.3 in pixel sense display with an aspect ratio

31
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:30,080
of 3x2 and a pixel per inch count of

32
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:33,480
267 it looks awesome and that's pretty much all I have to say there the pen has

33
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:39,239
also received welcome improvements going from 1024 de of pressure sensitivity in

34
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,959
the old version way up to 496 on the new

35
00:02:39,239 --> 00:02:46,280
one the actuation force needed to make a line has moved down from 21 G to just 10

36
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:50,360
G it supports tilt for shading which is super cool and it is apparently the

37
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:56,319
fastest digital pen on the planet with only 21 milliseconds of latency but it

38
00:02:53,560 --> 00:03:02,640
along with the keyboard are not included in the Box the surface pen a rather icon

39
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:06,400
iconic part of the Surface Pro laptop is now sold separately if you have the

40
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:10,440
previous version of the pen it is forwards compatible and the new pen is

41
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,080
also backwards compatible if you don't want to buy a whole new laptop but do

42
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:18,440
want a better pen which is cool but that's going to

43
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:24,280
add a lot of cost if you want a pen and a keyboard with your well laptop and to

44
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,239
continue the not so great news we've got

45
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:31,439
the I/O on the left hand side you've got a headset Jack on the bottom you have

46
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:37,319
the cover port on the right hand side you've got a mini DisplayPort a surface

47
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:39,840
connect port and a fullsize USB 3 Port

48
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:47,040
along with a micr SD port on the bottom the lack of Thunderbolt 3 or if I dare

49
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:48,920
say USBC feels a little dated at this

50
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:54,760
point and considering lonus already criticized the Surface Pro 4 for lacking

51
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:59,959
these things along with just not having a full-size SD slot it just feels kind

52
00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:03,640
of weird that the io was entirely overlooked with this revision if you're

53
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:07,959
unsatisfied with those IO options you can use the dock but as you may have

54
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:12,400
guessed it is sold separately as well and last but possibly not least

55
00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:16,799
depending on your use case they have decided to include LTE capability which

56
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:21,919
is pretty damn cool if you really want to embrace the whole portability of your

57
00:04:19,239 --> 00:04:26,600
device with those 13.5 hours of video playback battery life in conclusion two

58
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:31,560
or so months ago lonus looked at the Surface Pro 4 and deemed it at the very

59
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:35,120
very least worthy of consideration depending on your use case now it's

60
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:40,440
received an upgrade and its pricing structure seems to have St pretty much the same which makes it an even better

61
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:45,160
option it feels great in your hand the build quality seems rather wonderful as

62
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:51,400
long as you never ever have to take it apart but I do really really wish they

63
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:55,960
took another look at their I/O and modernized it a little bit as it stands

64
00:04:53,680 --> 00:05:01,680
the Surface Pro is a very interesting laptop but it kind of feels like a game

65
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:05,360
that really needs its DLC to be fully featured and fully complete you don't

66
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:08,960
have the keyboard with it if you're buying this you probably want it for

67
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:12,880
some type of design work and it doesn't come with the pen if you're buying this

68
00:05:10,919 --> 00:05:17,520
you might need to plug more than you know kind of one thing into it at a time

69
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:20,520
so you might need the dock you're going to end up walking out to the store with

70
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:24,039
quite a few things maybe our wishes will come

71
00:05:22,479 --> 00:05:28,199
through for the next version of the Surface Pro which I'm going to guess is

72
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:34,280
going to be called the newer Surface Pro or maybe the surface Pro 2019 or well it

73
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:39,960
is Microsoft so maybe they'll just skip a few numbers and it will be the Surface

74
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:42,080
Pro 10 do you like people spying on you

75
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:48,039
while you use the internet if you said yes shut up I'm on to you with tunnel

76
00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:50,440

it's available for PC Mac Android iOS

00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:17,039
they even have a Chrome extension and you press like one button and you are

00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,720
covered and it's uh really nice for getting around pesky Geo restrictions
