The video and audio quality of the built in webcam and mics are clear on both but I think I prefer the one with ARM and 5g. The all metal design is always a plus with me. Nice to have decent audio and the Surface Pro 9 seems to deliver that. The problem with Microsoft is that when all is said and done with the extra peripherals you’ll be adding such as the keyboard to the package, it will get pricey as Andrew stated it. Once again, you’ll be better off getting a comparable Dell laptop and save yourself some money in the end. Great video once again Andrew! Appreciate it and appreciate you as well!! 👍😁

Why do MS refuse to provide such an excellent reviewer with sample devices? Surely it benefits them to have open and honest reviews? This was the only review I've seen that contained comparative analysis between the SP8, SP9 & SP9 SQ3/5G. This is really useful and unique. I am a Professor and record lectures and I need an ultraportable device that can do this on the fly. The SP9 SQ3 inbuilt mic array seemed to deliver audio recording that was almost on par with your expensive studio mics. It blew away the SP9. Am i correct in that assumption? Keep up the great work Andrew, you were on fire for this review!

Thank you for the great comparison review Andrew, good to have a channel like yours to see independent reviews. I'm actually surprised the Intel 12th generation had better battery life vs the 11th generation, it just seems that Intel prioritized power vs battery life in this iteration in most laptops. Personally, I'm choosing between the SP9 Intel and the Lenovo Z13...

Thank you for comparison of Pro 8 and Pro 9 ARM. I returned my Pro 9 ARM, but will happily look at repurchasing future generations of this product. It's getting there....

[MatzWerk]

that npu.... didn't expect that much of a difference. Very impressive. Also, very good review for pointing it out!

[boonleeglobal]

One of the best tech reviews I have seen Great Job

I have a Surface Pro 4 . I have decided to upgrade and am trying to find the best value for my needs. Your video has been a huge help!!

[BlackhawkSC]

I buy the Surface Pros just for the webcams. Quality hasn't changed much since the SP6, but that goes to show how good the SP6 webcam was already.

[krunalthakkar]

I must say fantastic review plus you write the specs perfect so it's easy to compare keep doin this

[johngraves]

Extremely, extremely professional review! Very well done, razor sharp breakdown.

[Chowave]

Love this review, was kind of helpful. I just want to know if surface pro 8 or surface pro 9 is better for like college.

[Dragonblaster]

Just picked up a refurbished 256GB i5 SP8 with Signature Keyboard for £415. A real steal.

[KTPurdy]

agree with the nits. Was a headphone jack that expensive to justify removing it? Sometimes is just so convenient plugging in some buds.

[RS-handle]

The mic quality in 5G version is fantastic

"and they don't even return my emails" - made me laugh. They sure don't!

I've been a surface pro user for a long time. After the 8 it's nice to see the relocated power button.
There are alternatives, but usually they have some compromise, like not having a kickstand as with the Dell.
Also here in Europe the alternatives are sold for the American normal price, not the "constant" discounted price, so they're way more expensive.
I still would like to see an AMD powered pro, but with the laptop line going full intel again, I think it won't happen.

[freeace]

Great Andrew! This is what I have been looking for. So I will buy 9 in the next year! lol pro 8 is providing great deals recently.
Not much different for my needs.

Thank you bro.

09:35 I didn’t actually believe that the NPU/ARM version would be drastically better than the Intel one, but it actually is.

[zhangsiyi]

Very good review that helps me make decision. One quick questions, is the noise level of the intel version good for recording use? I hope to purchase it as a backup computer for recording using Studio One or Pro Tools

[ismaelrivera]

Hey Andrew great review. Question does the Surface Pro 8 comes with upgradable ssd
