Surface Pro 11 Review - The Best 2 in 1 - In this video, I share my full review of my Microsoft Surface Pro 11 with X Plus CPU and 16GB of ram. In this video, I will share my in-depth experience of this product so you get the full picture! Share your thoughts, questions, and comments, and enjoy the video review!

I took advantage of Microsoft’s trade-in promo and traded a Surface Pro 8 with 32GB of RAM for the x Elite with the same 32GB of RAM. The SP8 worked great but horrible battery life. This new one is on another level. It’s so snappy and no lag whatsoever. Can easily get 12+hr on battery in recommended power settings but if you switch to High performance (windows powershell command required in order to see it in power settings) I’ll get around 6hrs but that’s to be expected as it uses more power but you do notice the performance grains.

Regarding chrome eating up RAM. That’s a known problem from the very beginning of chrome’s existence. I also have an MacBook Pro M1 Max with 64GB of RAM and chrome try’s to suck that all up so I use chrome sparingly.

After 10 years, I have dumped my iPad lineage and switched to the SP11. And haven’t looked back since. And presumably never will, unless Apple launches a similar hybrid.

It's great that you are reviewing other electronics besides phones. ❤👏🏾👋🏾

"I haven't had any Surfaces in a while. This is my first one in about four years." Completely out of context, this is so relatable. I've owned three Surfaces.

Re the Chrome battery usage... are you sure you're using the ARM native version of Chrome? It's sounds like you may be using the x64 version and emulating to run it, which uses a lot more battery. Personally, I use Edge all the time and think it's great, and I never have to worry about whether they gave me the correct installer for ARM. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Google is pointing you by default at the x64 version.

Correction: You mention multiple times that you don't think the keyboard is worth $449. The $450 keyboard includes the Slim Pen 2 as well. If you just want the flex keyboard ("Surface Pro Flex Keyboard") it's $350. Sill expensive, but better. You can also use the "Surface Pro Keyboard" at $140 (which has no pen dock), or the "Surface Pro Keyboard with pen storage" (which appears to be the one you got) at $180. You can also use any of the keyboards released for the Pro X or Pro 8 or later. So there are quite a few options.

I fully support MS NOT including the keyboard. I use the same keyboard over multiple versions of the device, and am very happy I don't have to keep buying a new keyboard every time. Plus, I like being able to pick whatever keyboard color I like, and especially now that there are a range of feature levels. Imagine if stores had to stock each combination of: Pro/Elite/RAM amount/Storage amount/Keyboard Color/Pen or No Pen Included/No Dock or Dock or Flex Keyboard? Optional is way better than forcing everyone to pay for it.

Very fair review though!

its nice to see you do a windows device

[rayroche]

Thanks for an honest review.
Chrome is well known as a memory hog on any Windows PC. That is a Google decision. As you say, it is better to use the Windows browser on a Windows device and the Apple browser on an Apple device. Microsoft seems to have taken the same base engine as Google Chrome did but then has optimized Edge for use on battery powered devices. Since I have not yet found anything that I cannot do in the Edge browser, that's the browser for me.

Can it play youtube 4k videos with no lag?
Is it worth to buy pro 9 i7 for better applications and chrome and office experience or elite is better and applications on it have full features like pro 9 windows?

What about 32 gb ram models? Is it worth?
And did you edit video on pro 9 or 11? How was that? No lag ?

[jirikocman]

I bought same base model, replaced SSD for 1TB WD SN770M just in case. Great device, my M1 MBP stay in shelf turned off since I bought Surface and become my daily driver.
Mostly all my SW is native Arm and small stuff like iCloud integration and LogiOptions is x86.
It feels more responsive than any Windows machine I used and even my MBP.

[mrmartywaring]

I like this a lot. This may be my next Windows device

Nick, did you know that most of Crapple AI isn’t coming to Europe this year ?

[rafehsaleh]

Thanks for the review. When using it as a tablet for let’s say watching a full movie or reading and taking notes, would it heat up in my hand?

[shadownk]

It is still too heavy for tablet use, and there's no update on Android integration. It's truly disappointing that even after a decade since the Surface Pro's release, neither Apple nor Microsoft has managed to deliver a 2-in-1 that excels as both a tablet and a laptop.

W. Waiting for s23 fe, pixel 8, Huawei pura 70 ultra, honor magic 6 pro, Xiaomi 14/ultra and z flip / z fold 5 and nothing phone 1vs2a speedtests. ❤

[franzpleurmann]

Does the Copilot App works offline with the NPU?

[williamcopeland]

Good video. Chrome has always been a Memory Hog. That's why I never use that crap. Nice device, but Microsoft needs to final start including the keyboard once and for all at no extra cost.

[مهندالجعمي-ثف]

Can it carry and run engineering apps ? Like autocad, inventor, and 3d rendering apps ? Because i am confused between it and Surface Pro 8 i7 .

[YXAnimation]

Can you do the Surface Laptop 7 one with the X Elite ?
