This review feels like it was actually made by someone that actually used the tablet, rather than a reviewer that bought it just to run 20 benchmarks, the hot feel while drawing, and the screen reflections outside were great examples
@somnambulist6636 13 күн бұрын
Hot feel when drawing "while connected as external display"...so much good but you pick only the bad ones eh ? And a single cheap matte screen cover solves the reflection problem

very nice review!! i got the Surface pro 9 last year for note-taking & media consumption & carrying around as a light laptop i can easily access when i'm traveling. i really like the form & design of this device, and the only downsides of it for me personally are the battery life & the heat. So the new snapdragon chips that are more battery efficient and quieter and cooler seem to be the perfect upgrade for me if i buy a new surface pro. But i might wait until a 2nd generation of the snapdragon chip next year (or if there's no 2nd gen next year, wait for a sale for the pro 11 by next year) because my current surface still works perfectly, and i wanna wait a year to see if more devs make their apps available on the arm chip.

Edit: One tip, I think it makes more sense to have the laptops at fixed nits rather than 70% brightness as that reflects real-world use given that most laptop screens are bright enough for indoor use.

Great review! So well spoken, detailed, and still a very efficient, to the point, and enjoyable review on the surface pro! I was using both iPad Pro and surface pro 8 lte for the last few years, but now just using a 13” iPad Pro M4 for all my work, including using Remote Desktop when heavy workload is needed. It works great and with 5G already on the iPad, I can do anything on it on it just about anywhere. I’m so tempted to try the surface pro 11, but hope the OLED screen will not be a disappointment (it’s so so good on the iPad Pro). Also 5G is a must for me and Microsoft drags their feet on that in terms of releasing 5G versions “later”. Great review, and subscribed to your channel as well!

Great review. Really enjoy your reviews as they are spot on. Also, well done for pointing out the visibility of the digitiser. Not many reviewers have. It's a huge disappoinment and once you spot it you can't unsee it. I returned my SP11 for that very reason - it ruins the display and makes it look inferior to everything.

Always loved Surface, had a Pro 4 during my high school years. Switched to Mac because of battery and Unix. But now with these ARM machines, excited to switch back again. Unfortunately many softwares I use simply doesn’t work, so will have to wait a couple more generations, just like the M-series Mac.

Nice review. One thing I dont like about Surface Pros is that since they have a fan system they also have vents. But this causes a problem, as dust accumulates inside lots of times it makes its way to the cameras with no way to clean it besides taking off the display. This is not a problem with other tablets since there is no openings.
@thomasskytte4855 14 күн бұрын
Best review of the Surface Pro 11 yet. I had mixed feelings for the device after watching other reviews claiming bad battery life, but as you point out it really depends on the power profile. Leaving the device in best performance mode is definitely not a good idea because it cuts the battery life in half. And even in low performance mode it actually performance pretty well. Very good information that lacks in other reviews.

When I press the power button, it takes about 30 seconds to reach the Windows PIN screen. Is this normal? On my Surface Pro 8, this time was 15 seconds. What is the startup time on your device, by the way?

Does the X-Plus LED version have the same visible digitizer issue as the OLED? It's very important to note these differences. Also, why didn't you compare it to the Surface Pro 10 For Business?

Interesting comprehensive laptop video. Windows OS has come a long way in touch environment, I could remember using my Windows Phone with hardly any touch glitches, but there was those touch glitches every once in a while that made the Windows Mobile a little frustrating to use. Other than that, I would personally prefer to use Windows OS with a pointing device such the Windows Pencil. Regardless, interesting 2 in 1 Windows laptop comparisons, but now, I only further wonder how well a Windows Laptop will hold up against to an actual modern day desktop computer? Maxed out gaming laptops included? 😺🥰👩💻✨💎

Its biggest flaw is software, and because they did not invest enough on the emulator, its good to see how your program is running at the moment before you consider to buy it. I have seen in other reviews quite a few frequently used programs that where nog working good or fast. Even small ones.
