Covered everything, perfect pace, perfect review. Thanks.

The other review videos were about the specs and weren't very helpful, but this video was very helpful because the actual usage scenes were fully explained. thanks

I just bought a Pro 7 i5 as my 1st Surface device. So far, like you I am surprised how much I use it as just a tablet, no type cover.

This is the best Surface Pro 7 review I've ever seen. Other videos go on and on about how it's just a small upgrade from the 6 etc. But I've owned a Surface Pro and i don't give a hoot about such comparison. This video even shows me the physical configurations with the type cover attached - i never knew you could gold the type cover back on to the back of the tablet. Sp kudos to you for focusing on what the Surface Pro 7 really is.

Those are my thoughts entirely! I just can't get over how cool having access to desktop programs on a tablet is!

The computing power packed into this form factor is amazing. The Surface Pro X is a vanity office product, the Surface Pro 7 is
a workhorse.

[salmanel-farsi]

One of the best more comprehensive reviews on SP.

[lightzaberrr]

I love "thank you. good-bye". Best closing ever!

[broceratops]

Been watching a bunch of reviews for this product and wow. Your last 2 sentences greatly summed up what I'm looking for in a new device. Keep up the great work!

[Ilestun]

Got the pro7 i5 for a good price during prime days. Impressed by the screen quality. Colours are super accurate.

[robirsingh]

The best review I have ever seen until now, finally covering all aspects. Thank You!

[AquaStevae]

Also, is there any chance you made a full video of the room drawing? I really like what you've done in that one, and would like to see it completed in detail. Thanks. It's amazing how you can pinch in to complete details, and then pinch back out to make it look realistic, and add depth. I look forward to trying Concepts and Autodesk Sketchbook.
Cheers!

I was all-over YouTube looking for a proper review for this machine. And am glad i found you, Great review covered everything. Thank you.

[mhmdv.]

where have you been pal!!! i'm glad i found your channel, your review covered all the aspects

[tim]

i've been a surface fan from the beginning, glad they've caught on enough to not be abandoned. had sp2 which was great at the time, upgraded to sp4, little big for what i was using it for at the time but got used to it. just got sp7, essentially identical but significantly faster, and facial recognition is light years improved. best of all, sp4 typecover and pen work just fine. so great value for upgrade. although i wouldn't have if not needed, kids dropped 4 and display was messed up. love these and hope they keep improving them without making them huge or cutting edge, therefore too expensive.

[RachaelGArtisticOTAKU]

That "rare occurence" that you caught on camera - happened to me the second day of owning my surface pro 7. It has not happened again since though thank goodness! If it does though I want to return it.

[pajx]

Thankyou for addressing lapability and microphone improvements - great review

Good Review on sharing many open different angle views.
...
My own experiences using 2 weeks Surface Pro X, and MS Surface Pro 7 core I 5

Before having MS Surface Pro X, I bought SF pro 7, it is working well and fast. After 2-3 weeks, I had to buy another one computer, I had to give SF pro 7 to my college to work continue 1 week for urgent adhoc many reports requested by customer.


Then I have to buy another surface for my parallel works on presenting, office and web browsing, traveling several places.

when I saw SF Pro X firstly open in Microsoft Big Event and later in the MS shop seller, I was very impressed on very nice improved design and functions of MS Surface Pro X.
Design look the best among the nowadays tablet, and smart ultra traveling notebook .
13” screen is good for views.
Quality of screen and sound and video were much improved than older pro version.

So, I have gone through studying a lot from Surface Pro X reviews, both on their MS own website and third opinions.

Most of reviewers, youtubers focused only performance and limitation on new ARM processor, those said many problems on negative about Surface pro X.

So I think, I should try and explore more details by myself on this Product, because...
I don't want to have 2 surface similar. I wanna try different.
And I believe inner inside that,
"MS team must have some good reasons to launch something new by new chipset with this ARM".


There should be reason good enough to go for ARM with this product. I like thing about starting of AI feature on this SQ1 chip.


“After hearing other, better to try with your own experiences.” ...


Then have to do my own test,
I went to the seller Shop to do the test.
I bring my SSD HD data containing many of files, that i regularly use to do my own real test at Surface Pro X seller shop spending almost 1-2 hours for all tests.


I am the one who usually do the works on MS office.
I do reports with MS word, one file size could be more than 100 MB.
At the same time I would do multiple tasks, opening Excel sheet picking up several data financial and analysis technical data several sheet calculating.
Moreover, I am doing at the same time opening 10-15 pages pdf file parallel with doing slide presentation with power point that containing tons of high definition of pictures and videos.


While doing all above I am opening many windows of web browsers,
doing search internet data.
One can be email on gmail, one is opening youtube music for relaxing,
anothor one could be working on email,
another one monitoring stock and gold price, ready to buy and sell.


While I am testing, I open my presentation slide made of MS power point, that is quite big size of 400 MB. With lot of HD pic and Video embed on it to test the severe case.

All of working windows, I open through my SSD HD connected via USB C port because Testing SF Pro x at the shop is demo machine.

All that programs and open windows as mentions above on test are working very well.
While doing all many tasks on Pro X as all above I mentioned, opening 100 MB with MS word doing report, opening youtube 4 K, opening several files (excel, pdf documents, edge browsers surfing more than 10 pages web browsing ) to copy data to creating report, and also at the same time doing that quite big size 400 MB slide presentation.

Result is that, MS Surface pro X is working smooth without any problem, working fast, honestly to say that it is slower a bit comparing to surface pro 7 core i5 256 RAM, as I said, the one I gave to my college for working on writing reporting .

(I would say that Microsoft Pro X, at the shop, is the one that skilled seller just update lasted programs, software and firmware, I guess many things and problems were fixed.)


Web browsing and Movie on Youtube are working very well with impressive quality.
See clear on big screen,
Nice details with full High Definition,
Resolution is almost 4 K movies with fine and smooth through my eyes.
.
The sound and movie are showing on Surface Pro X are very IMPRESSIVE.
The sound is not as good as iPad Pro, but it is really good enough to enjoy the entertainment.

The outlook of SF Pro X design is very impressive, pretty much beautiful.
The handling, carrying Surface Pro x is very suited for traveling people like me, while I am going out to give lecture and consulting to students and customers.

Due to the working style and my age, I don't mind much about gaming performance, because I do not have much time left for games.
I used to be a game lover when I was young, but after coming to some old age, I gradually fade off it.

Photos and Videos I usually take and work simply by iphone and ipad.
So Adobe Photoshop and A Illustrator or A Premiere were never used on this Surface.
But heard that in a few months, Adobe team is working on to develop those photo apps to be compatible on ARM.

MS Edge and Edge Canery developed for ARM is working very smooth and fast.
So that is enough support for me to choose this computer, MS SF PRO X.

So, I made decision to buy Surface PRO X.

New MS PEN is used for many comfort functions.
It is really work for noting, drawing very good ergonomic and smooth use.


After buying,
This MS Surface Pro X had been tested, opening files, working all day and night.
Even I take rest sleeping, but computer had to be opened, because continuing work on many data files.
This SF had to keep running open to finish more than 3 reports, the Due Diligence reports for customer in 2 weeks. Each report size is more than 60-90 MB and has more than 100 pages.
So the long time test had proven its reliability and stability.

I would say this Surface Pro X is very best suited for me.
Nice Design, very lightweight, look smart when presenting work to customerss,
Good for web surfing and browsing data, watching movies in Youtube.
...
People use different computers for their different purposes and experiences,
select the one that fit to you.

I do like one the Pro X machine.
When it is working such a long time, it is notices that this machine is not as heat as SF pro 7,
I think because of lower power (watt) used in ARM processor.

All above mentioned, I do love this MS Surface Pro X.
Its designs, functions, and features are very fascinating one.
