Most people at your age (your not really that old) would be retired and be out fishing every day. Your fitting in with the newer generation and entertaining us all the time.
Thank you and continue to upload videos please!

I like your aquarium

Excellent video but should I get a USED SP4 Core i5 8Gb Ram 256Gb ssd (for $600 CAD) or a USED SP5 with the same specs core i5 8gb ram, 256gb ssd (for $700 CAD)?
I know these devices are not meant for gaming but I sometimes want to play games like GTA 5, Fortnite on lowest settings along with Microsoft office, word processing, YouTube videos. The SP4 has a fan but SP5 doesn't have a fan, the SP5 has greater battery life than the SP4.
Which one should I get?

Thx For The Video!! I Was Searching This Type Of Video But There Were No Video About This....Really Appreciate It ;)

👍This is terrific. Thanks for posting this video.💞 I love my SP4 & very happy that I got it last year. So far I don't think I like the new type cover colors nor the fabric/material AND it's horrible that they don't include the pen with the newer Surface. 😠

for a better software startup time comparison, you should select the software then use the "enter" button to run than using the touchpad.

So basically if you have the Surface Pro 4 i5 4GB model stay with it because it's faster than the new one. With no fan in the new models they throttle them to save battery.Pass

[LovingAtlanta]

👍I know you can spend your 💰💸however you choose but I'm curious (if you care to share) as to why you bought the new SP when there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your SP4. 🤔 Thanks for posting with video, definitely helpful. 😁

Interesting video personally I have the Surface pro 4 I find it to be very fast and responsive would not upgrade to the new one at this moment. My surface pro is 128 GB I5 processor in which in the near future will buy a hub and a portable hard drive

[LovingAtlanta]

😔Not enough umph/oomph or changes/improvements with the new SP as compared to my SP4 to make me buy one & watch my $$ fly away💸💸. 😜

Actually you don't need to open these apps by double-click, you can select the both apps on different screens by single-click, then hit 'Enter' on the keyboard, that should be way easier to test.

I am confused either should I buy surface go or pro 5. Here are the available specs and price:
1. Surface go 4 gb RAM without key board is 495 usd and with key board is 630 usd.
2. Surface go 8 gb Ram with out key board is 685 usd and with key board is 820 USD.
3. Surface pro 5 with core i5 and 8 gb RAM including key board is 960 usd.

My actual inrerest to buy 2 in 1 laptop is to get a small device, easy to carry having Windows option where multi tasking can be perforned, I may play few low graphic games, which I used to play in 2008 on my Pentium 4 ;:)
I have seen bad reviews about surface go mentioning system getting slow on Chrome and while opening multiple tabs on Youtube. i am not looking for a device which gets slow on YouTube as I used to open like 8 or 9 tabs normally and multiple files. I liked Surface go as it is very light weight and handy comparing to Surface pro 5. Some users were saying Pro is better as surface go have small display which is not favourable for long run. I am really confused which one to select. I don't consider Surface go with 8 gb as it would be better to buy instead Surface pro 5 with 8 gb as it's on promotion and on a cheap price. Please share your thoughts Surface go 4 gb or pro 5 with 8 gb ? Plus if any of your valuable experience to share with me. By the way I am a person who likes to keep gadget for a long time. I liked Lenovo miix 320 having keyboard like a laptop but i has Intel Atom processor. Waiting for your feed back. Thanks

[LovingAtlanta]

👍Ummm no thanks, I'm good😁...I'll stick with my SP4 until it dies! First no keyboard...now no pen..next you'll have to buy a keyboard, pen & the shell separately to put the screen in! It's a good product why mess around "nickel-ing & dime-ing" (um excuse me dollar-ing) us for every little thing to use all of its full capabilities?!? 😩😠

[polarbear]

That's a nice reef tank. What's the size?

[bions]

a write and read test of the ssd will be interested...

[acek]

Man I just may get the 4 and save that $60.00 🤣

[blackcoalboy]

We all know which one this guy wants to win

[kaylamitchell]

"it's a bit wet and muggy out there today"
Have you been anywhere near Wales?

[suprasport]

Mann! I must say. ....is definitely not worth the upgrade. ..can't even tell the difference between, actually the 4 might be the better option since the price would be cheaper

[SS-xqol]

just to clarify you are using sp4 i5 4gb vs sp 2017 i5 8gb(fanless).
