Just got my surface pro back at where it all started....what a leap we have made in 10 years....cheers...oh and I got this exact forest green with colour matched type cover and slim pen 2 bundle....

I was looking for something about video editing on the SP9 and I found your video.
I have rarely been as entertained and informed by a video as effectively and as engagingly as this one. I subbed immediately. Wow - what in informative and entertaining style you have. I love it.
I really loved when you forgot who you are from multiple places myself - I have the same challenges, haha.
I am 100% from everywhere I am from!!
I am NOT half anything.
Haha!!

The SP9 is my favourite device for on-the-road computing.
It fills the need for a quality tablet while also being a powerhouse PC.
I have it connected to 2 monitors and many other devices at home, and when I go to Starbucks or somewhere else, I have this powerful PC or Netflix machine just a few taps away.
I wondered about battery life, but because it can be charged by USB-C, I have a power-bank which can recharge the battery one full charge, so I have 10hrs of battery where ever I am so long as I remember to charge it before I go out - I have forgotten to do that before, but the battery had saved me haha./

I love using it, and I seem to love it more and more every time.
I have the i7 and would NOT go back to using an i5 ever again. When you want the power - it is nice to have it, but I know I don't need it all the time.
It is like having a fast car - most of the time, you drive at the speed limit, but when you want to overtake to get out of a situation - it is good to know you have the power to do so and get back to that speed limit just a few seconds later. When I have a bit of editing or some voice-over to process or some pics to export to batch process - I like having the power, but I don't have to do that too much.
Additionally - it is a little bit of vanity because I know that the i5 and i7 perform very similarly actually - if I had the i5 and my machine became slow, I would wish I had the i7. Having the i7 and the machine slows down, I can console myself that I have the fastest they offer, haha.
I am sure I am not the only one who feels that.

BTW - I use it with a portable screen as well, and it works flawlessly. I can have CNN split screen with the BBC playing on an external screen (yes, I listen to both news channels at the same time) while I am creating a ppt on the main screen with Edge and 25 tabs open....with Spotify playing some relaxing background music - listening on my headphones (a bit of amultiple stimulus source geek).
It is awesome and doesn't skip a beat.

Thanks for the video - I agree with all the points you made - My experience bears them out.

Can confirm you definitely deserve a raise! Keep up the awesome reviews, big dog! ❤

[digitalbyjez]

Hey La - love your video
Love the Malaysian humour - from a kiwi who was raised in KL
Much love

[nasuhazokifeli]

wow... so interesting.. so far i often too get bored when people give explanation about ms 9..but not you.. i able to listen from begin until the end. your voice pretty good... especially when u sang..

[airrfourr]

OMG!! Give him a raise!! CongratS! Great video, funny and funcional…!

[nsns]

Well done review that covered almost everything, I enjoyed this.

[trunkstypingonakeyboard]

Yo love the video as usual ! Always like to see proper opinion that doesn't just read off spec and say it's and obvious upgrade.

[catalinobaez]

Damn boy - when you dropping that mix tape? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[liamporter]

The new Surface forgo the SD card slot which is a disappointment. Also pretty expensive when RAM and storage go up. This is why start to look at Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 for my next 2 in 1.

[SheddysGaming]

I just bought one of these on ebay (refurb by microsoft) after waiting to finally buy a surface (I've always wanted one)

Honestly I'm just glad i chose the 9 because it landed me on this magical mess of joy of a video 😂

[trapbeatproducer]

Great video! You are amazing!

I'll search another video review now!

[mariewhitehead]

Hi would this be good to play games from big fish company using tablet mode only with touchscreen?

[porrtilloyovany]

Hey what's up, I saw the video an I couldn't stop looking at the wallpaper on the surface pro, is there a way you could send the link for it please.

[maksymdybner]

Guys, does anyone know or used archicad on Surface pro 8 or 9? Did they add the support of multitouch screen for AC24? I read, that in AC20 you can not navigate via touchscreen even

[applecrazy]

Informative and funny video, couldn't ask for more! One question do you think that a laptop like this has longevity? Would it last (7-8years) if it gets good care, last time I had a laptop after 3-4 years of use they seamed to underperform a lot (this was 5 years ago).

[vodorodov]

Strange, I got 7823 multi core and 1443 single core in cinebench (i got i5 and 16 ram). Maybe your surface was overheat?

[urfiansari]

Love your review I was bit confused but in India its more expensive than M2 Air, considering overall usage. I will move with Carbon or Victus atleast I'm getting double the specs and performance.

[JinJunWu]

ending sound so wrong ~ okie bro ~ well played

[numerrelorcasa]

can it run 3dx max? sketchup vray? thank u
