00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:07.600
Microsoft brought us all the way to China to check out their new Surface Pro

00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:10.000
not the Surface Pro 5 just the Surface

00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:14.839
Pro which is totally different from the Surface Pro that was released in 2013

00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:21.800
and also totally different from the Surface Pro 4 this is the new Surface

00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:27.359
Pro lonus said after not exactly being too enthusiastic with Surface Pro 1

00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:32.200
through three that version 4 was where he thought the concept finally lined up

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

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:53.000
there we're hosting LTX 2017 on July

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:54.800
29th 2017 it's a Meetup Tech Carnival

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

00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:03.000
description first let's start with specs under the hood you can pick your

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

00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:14.200
can range yourself from 4 gigs to 16 gigs and for storage you can go with

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:16.799
solid state drives from 128 gigs to 1

00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:21.720
tab with the 1 tab option being in the NVMe ultra fast variety but depending on

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:25.880
your flavor of choice you'll be shelling out anywhere from

00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:30.560
$800 to 2700 you're paying for that performance

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

00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:38.720
with 8 gigs of RAM and a 256 gig SSD but

00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:42.680
if you do want those Iris Pro graphics for doing more graphical stuff or even

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:48.280
some minor gaming you might want to upgrade that being said the M3 and I5

00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:52.159
models don't have a fan they're all cooled so well that they are fanless

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:55.360
operation which is pretty sweet if you want a silent computer they claimed at

00:01:54.119 --> 00:02:00.200
the event that the performance of the laptop went up by 20% over its previous

00:01:58.119 --> 00:02:03.520
version that seems a little int considering the processor upgrade that

00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:07.439
they had so we'll have to investigate this claim more back at the office but

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

00:02:10.119 --> 00:02:19.080
more battery life over top of the Surface Pro 4 which brings you to

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:21.760
13.5 hours of video playback battery

00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:27.599
it's also rocking a beautiful 12.3 in pixel sense display with an aspect ratio

00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:30.080
of 3x2 and a pixel per inch count of

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

00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:39.239
also received welcome improvements going from 1024 de of pressure sensitivity in

00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:40.959
the old version way up to 496 on the new

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

00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:50.360
G it supports tilt for shading which is super cool and it is apparently the

00:02:48.200 --> 00:02:56.319
fastest digital pen on the planet with only 21 milliseconds of latency but it

00:02:53.560 --> 00:03:02.640
along with the keyboard are not included in the Box the surface pen a rather icon

00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:06.400
iconic part of the Surface Pro laptop is now sold separately if you have the

00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:10.440
previous version of the pen it is forwards compatible and the new pen is

00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:14.080
also backwards compatible if you don't want to buy a whole new laptop but do

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:18.440
want a better pen which is cool but that's going to

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

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:26.239
continue the not so great news we've got

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

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:37.319
the cover port on the right hand side you've got a mini DisplayPort a surface

00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:39.840
connect port and a fullsize USB 3 Port

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

00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:48.920
say USBC feels a little dated at this

00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:54.760
point and considering lonus already criticized the Surface Pro 4 for lacking

00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:59.959
these things along with just not having a full-size SD slot it just feels kind

00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:03.640
of weird that the io was entirely overlooked with this revision if you're

00:04:01.640 --> 00:04:07.959
unsatisfied with those IO options you can use the dock but as you may have

00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:12.400
guessed it is sold separately as well and last but possibly not least

00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:16.799
depending on your use case they have decided to include LTE capability which

00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:21.919
is pretty damn cool if you really want to embrace the whole portability of your

00:04:19.239 --> 00:04:26.600
device with those 13.5 hours of video playback battery life in conclusion two

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

00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:35.120
very least worthy of consideration depending on your use case now it's

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

00:04:38.440 --> 00:04:45.160
option it feels great in your hand the build quality seems rather wonderful as

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

00:04:49.320 --> 00:04:55.960
took another look at their I/O and modernized it a little bit as it stands

00:04:53.680 --> 00:05:01.680
the Surface Pro is a very interesting laptop but it kind of feels like a game

00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:05.360
that really needs its DLC to be fully featured and fully complete you don't

00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:08.960
have the keyboard with it if you're buying this you probably want it for

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

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

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

00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:24.039
quite a few things maybe our wishes will come

00:05:22.479 --> 00:05:28.199
through for the next version of the Surface Pro which I'm going to guess is

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

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

00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:42.080
Pro 10 do you like people spying on you

00:05:39.960 --> 00:05:48.039
