2017 Microsoft Surface Pro Review

[@1.123]

this woman really knows her shit. she deserves 10 times more subscribers. and she really can talk full sentences without making an annoying cut every two seconds.

[@SkAtErOfLiVe]

1.123 I can follow her so much better because she doesn’t do those annoying cuts.

[@lilena765]

The Jew lady doing this interview looks creepy as fuck.. she almost looks like a half man ..shivers..

[@spwprivate]

Be nice

[@RyanTinger]

This was my first time hearing and watching this person. I have never heard more eloquent tech speak in my life. I felt almost hypnotized by the beautiful fluidity of her review.

[@wangyex]

The few youtube channels that actually do "reviews", nice work!

[@ukyo6195]

Yes, now we all know: Do not buy this thing.

[@hafeezhamama9580]

Ukyō what's wrong with the Surface?

[@i-am-that-what-i-am]

Certified Shitlord has mictosoft solved the screen flickering issue of the pro 4?

[@hafeezhamama9580]

Victor Drummond never heard of it and never experienced it and I've had two devices

[@i-am-that-what-i-am]

Certified Shitlord well, there's plenty of talk about it on various forums, turns out it's a hardware issue. I've been waiting for this new SP to come out, but after researching now not so sure to take the $3300 risk.

[@nmkadhim]

Your content is ten times more valuable than 90% of KZbin tech & review channels

[@akg7465]

Lisa, you're my favourite tech reviewer on KZbin, BY FAR. Your reviews are genuine, comprehensive, extremely helpful, and usually my last stop before purchasing (or not). Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@billybob300c2]

For anyone here who just wants to know the battery life: around 8 hours with average use (16:59).

[@DesignInNature]

That is a little optimistic. It depends on what you mean by "Average Use". I just bought mine and I'm in the process of testing the battery life with actual continued, uninterrupted use. I'm forcing myself to type large documents and view some educational videos here and there. So far, I've been using it for 4 hours straight, and my battery is down to 44%. I guess I can expect it to give me a solid 6 hours of work, before I have to worry about data loss, due to the battery dying on me. In my case, I bought it for use in university and while I study away from home in coffee shops and the library. I have 15 days to return it for a full refund, if it does not live up to my expectations. So far, so good. If I get about 6 hours of actual use on one charge reliably, it means I can carry it in my bag all day long and still use it for several hours in the evening before having to charge it again. If so, it's definitely a keeper for me. The only annoying thing I've found so far, is that when I close it and it goes to sleep mode while watching a youtube video and then open it again, the video's audio will play, but the video window will stay black. It's just a minor annoyance, and it's fixed by refreshing the page. But still, this kind of stuff never happens on my other devices.

[@billybob300c2]

Lisa doesn't explain how she tests battery life on the products she reviews, so I'm guessing she keeps it on the default battery settings (balanced in this case). Assuming your surface is on balanced as well, which is giving you roughly 6 hours, you could probably pull off 8 hours by putting it on ultra low settings (battery saver, choose all low power options in power saver, reduced graphics, turn off usb charging, airplane mode, etc.). Instead of letting your surface sleep, you can put it on hibernate to save more power, and since it's an SSD, you can instantly turn it on in a matter of seconds.

[@luc7976]

See for more deeper review on battery life on Anandtech: www.anandtech.com/show/11538/the-microsoft-surface-pro-2017-review-evolution/7 The display brightness is biggest factor in typical workloads.

[@designanthology12]

My sp4 doesn't even last me 2 hours anymore I've lost all hope

[@DesignInNature]

How come? How old is it? And more importantly: Did you get the i7 model? That's the thing with ultra portable devices. If you go for the most powerful processors, then you can expect less battery life for sure. I have to say that the new Kaby Lakes processors are a VERY nice upgrade. They are more power efficient. That being said, I still would not buy the i7 model, due to the reduced battery life vs performance issue. I feel pretty content with my i5 model so far. No need to despair with your older surface pro 4, though. If you still enjoy the device and really need it on the go, you can always buy a portable power bank from Amazon, or best buy. The modern ones are almost as small as my phone, and give your device about two full charges. That would bring you up to about 6 hours of use. Better yet, some of the new power banks have splitter cords that allow for both charging the power bank and your device at the same time. This way you can leave your device charger at home, and just take the portable charger with you. I don't feel the need for one with my new surface pro 2017 - SO FAR. But as with any ultra portable, I'm sure I'll be using a portable power bank at some point in the future. I'm the type of person who loves studying at my local library, or at starbucks. And I simply don't want to have to wait and fight for the seats close to the outlets. These power banks are small enough to not even notice them in your bag. Putting a small power bank on the table next to my surface pro, just looks like I'm using a portable hard drive. There's no need to feel left behind. The Surface Pro 4 is still a very good device to own in 2017. I've owned laptops (Toshiba Satellite) that never gave me 2 full hours of battery life, even right out of the box. I hope this helps.

[@JK-xz1lt]

Great review! The pricing is ludicrous! They should have to continue to include the pen for these outrageous prices.

[@clouds5]

Pricing is my only issue with the surface line. I got my SP4 for 800$ including the pen&keyboard which was a very nice deal. The smallest model of course. That's a good price for what you're getting from my point of view. Over 1000 is just too much when you look at the features and what the competition offers. Really depends on your budget/needs though.

[@zebbleganubi723]

they would have to raise the prices even more if they were to include the pen and the keyboard. its not like they were giving the pen away for free last year. microsoft arent that generous unfortunately. besides that, if somebody doesnt want or need the pen then they will still have to pay for it if its included.

[@eonotekaumaiwa4625]

why do people all of a sudden complain about the pricing that much? you don't get the pen anymore but the actual tablet went down 100$ from last year which means that it comes down to about the same price as last year.... sure it's not cheap by any means, but that shouldn't be a surprise with the surface line...

[@JK-xz1lt]

The pricing didn't actually go down. If you look at the base model it is a bit a cheaper, but it never came with the pen to begin with. It's $799. The next model is suddenly $200 more, same pricing as last year but without the pen. You'll be paying through the teeth to make it a complete laptop.

[@sugarking12]

James Perkins I know that kills me the main reason I'm looking for this is for drawing

[@brianfrommaumee]

Finally - FINALLY - a real review! Thanks so much, Lisa! My company uses SurfacePro 4's (not the 2017 model) and adoption patterns are pretty unique. The device makes a very good laptop replacement (I actually gave up a Lenovo ThinkPad for my SurfacePro) and those that approach the device from that aspect are pretty happy. Those that approach it from the perspective of a replacement for their iPads tend to be disappointed - the size, weight and heat generated tend to put them off and they want their iPads back. Where the SurfacePro line has real problems is fragility - we had so many devices break from innocent drops or falls that iPads easily survived that we had to put out a warning to our teams to handle them differently than they do their old iPads. Broken screens are the #1 issue. Still their very good devices and your review has me thinking... hmmm.

[@jerrypenn481]

Thank you very much youtube for suggesting this amazing tech reviewer to me. Love your channel, thank you for the effort and great content.❤️❤️❤️

[@MikeCarper]

Another great job. I watch your videos even for products I don't care for. Keep up the good work!

[@dportal844]

Lisa has some of the best reviews on KZbin.

[@MathMan271]

What an absolutely wonderful and thorough review. You make me wish I had enough money to get one myself; keyboard, pen and all =( . Keep up the great work.

[@4dzxk332]

Absolutely Beautiful Drawing

[@NitrosKB]

Holy shit this was the most in depth laptop review I’ve seen on KZbin. Good, very good shit my frirnd

[@joannulmer3247]

As usual... another Amazing Informative Review. Thank You! I watch other reviews and never make it totally through them and Always come back to You!!!

[@flffygc8609]

Great review. Finally a review that actually does not leave you wanting more answers. Keep up the amazing work!!!!

[@EvilestMinion]

jesus christ, ive been watching videos on other channels dismissing yours because of less flashy thumbnails. finally i clicked and originally i was skeptical, but these are the best ive watched anywhere, Thank you so much and keep it up!

[@stephencornelious]

You do some excellent reviews

[@sirninjaraiden]

BEST RECIEW CHANNEL EVER! STRAIGHT FORWARD AND TO THE POINT ALL WHILE NAILING KEY POINTS THAT SHE KNOWS THE AUDIENCE WANTS TO KNOW! YOU ARE THE BEST. UNTOUCHED

[@tgn30001987]

I bought one i5 model on the first day it was released. Good present for my wife!

[@Kayla-en1oh]

Gary Tan Hello I was wondering how its been holding up? I was thinking about buying one myself and would like to know if it's a good investment?

[@laurens4359]

Just want to thank you for the high quality reviews and level-headed commentary (from a user-perspective). Thumbs up!

[@TomasFiers]

Love the technical details and well-researched comments in this review

[@SERGE_Tech]

Lisa your footage has gotten a lot better nice work!

[@ilmme1978]

Best reviews ever, amazing chanel, detailed and honest breakthrough, good luck there ❤

[@VadyeQ7]

Hey Lisa, You didn't show the contrast of the display when you were talking about it in the video, And I just want to say that you are the best reviewer ever, Keep it up!

[@txmoney]

I have the i7 16GB 512 model. Super easy set up with Cortana leading the process through voice control. No facial recognition issues for me. Display is improved. Brighter with noticeably improved contrast and color. Speakers are noticeably louder with slightly deeper bass. Pen is significantly improved. The tilt feature for shading is fantastic. Fans don't seem to kick in as often. Here's the best part for me: Battery life! I'm averaging about 2 1/2 hours more compared to my similarly equipped SP4. I'm getting about 7 1/2 hours of moderate/heavy productivity with 60% brightness. The improve battery life alone makes the upgrade worth it for me. Awesome!

[@gay-lovingswjliberaldemocr897]

I always like seeing Lisa draw on a tablet. It's soothing and mesmerizing at the same time.

[@rick-xf4sl]

Decided to upgrade to the Surface Pro from a 2009 17 inch MacBook Pro. Wow, I'm shocked at how friendly the PC has become. Viewing tennis matches has been quite a surprise. If I give the SP a 10, then the Mac gets a 4. It's faster, way kooler, and that screen just makes everything better.

[@N12Gautam]

That's not a fair comparison, you are comparing almost a decade old device with something that came out a month ago. If you wanted a device to view tennis matches, you would have been better off with the iPad pro, nothing can come close to its display and better battery life.

[@Rick9482]

Nis G Well, I wasn't trying to be fair, just relaying my experience. Trying to go away from Apple and wanted a newer computer. Haven't kept up with the market and was quite shocked to see such an improvement in my viewing experience. This includes better scrolling, improved internet speed. Very surprised, and I don't even have the keyboard and pen yet.

[@mmorales508]

Excellent video as always it's refreshing to watch your videos. They have a different feel from the "big tech reviewers". I believe that the people Microsoft asked are normal users who are not into the latest ports, cables and changes. They have old cables and stuff and want to use them with their new toy I guess!

[@vickikgibson9470]

Lisa, I do hate to ask once more...but, I do designs, will this work for me? I see I can pick up a bundle surface 2017 tablet with keyboard (still 1040.00, but usually 600 + more here in Canada) with i5 7th gen, 73000U, 12.3". No 8 gig ram, comes only with 4...darn. It does look to work like a nice Wacom, and with of course more internet features and NOT so big to carry around. How do they last? You seem to draw on these and have tested them, it is still a good unit. Been worried about how well they stand up. :) Or would you recommend the Ipad pro instead? Thank you!

[@joalblo9581]

Love your channel. Honest reviews. A breath of fresh air.

[@MamaOwlbear]

Your reviews are always so informative!! Thank you for doing what you do :P

[@TheRealDonfystikis]

Thank you for your great content and really informative and excellently done videos. One of the best I have come across in years! THANK YOU!

[@neillferguson7279]

I bought this after yesterday after having a MacBook 2015 for two years and the performance speed wise and the picture from the screen are better. One surprise has been the sound quality its a lot better than I expected.

[@Zazmiz]

Does the tilt features fix the calibration issue, where if you calibrate your pen for your normal writing angle, the calibration is off if you change the angle (like write/draw "from above")

[@hvn81]

I love your sense of irony/sarcasm. Hahaha. Keep the good work!

[@tombyrne6433]

Just FYI I asked them at The Microsoft Store to show me the new pen on and older Surface Pro 4 ..don't bother. IT only is noticeably better on the 2017 Surface Pro. I'm still very satisfied with my Surface Pro 4. Great review appreciate the details

[@Rprangerr]

Hey Lisa, I've got a question for you, I will be getting a surface fairly soon and well I game a lot and at the same time I want something you know not noisy cause that does get annoying, which one should I get, maxed out i5 version or maxed out i7?

[@mickeyg.c.1654]

Wow, you are really really good. Concise straight to the point yet in full detail. I love watching your video you're very talented!

[@CIyepiz]

I love your videos, thank you for helping me choose more easily and wisely my next gadgets!

[@mzwzm]

Great review and real helpful. I've made up my decision based on this review. Thanks Lisa.

[@1MoreFish]

Thank Lisa. You are uber-Smart!

[@lostclips7078]

You and and Mike from DetroidBorg are hands down the best reviewers on KZbin right now. MKBHD and Dave 2D are good alternative reviewers.

[@brijeshchandrakar]

Surface pro 4 now are available at reduced prices from amazon third party sellers. I bought i7, 16GB 256GB option for 1400 (including type cover, kenigton case).

[@Tom3294.]

That's still insane pricing..

[@Luna-ip4ri]

The prices in Europe are insane, i have to pay 1450 for the i5 8gb model , the price becomes well over 1700 if you include the new keyboard and pen. Im sorry but i cant simply afford that, guess i have to go with the i5 4gb one. Btw do you recommend 4g for things like photoshop and light video editing? For example just short vids and painting with loads of layers on photoshop. Btw i use my canvas on 4000x4000, is 4gb enough? I really hope so..

[@cjc7303]

if you have a child in school K-12 or in university/college (or are a student yourself) you may qualify for education pricing - this could close the gap for you between the 4GB and 8GB model. Unsure how it works in Europe compared to North America - discounts here are about 10%. Hope this helps.

[@Luna-ip4ri]

CJ C yes im a student but even with discount its 1300 here but you have to add the keyboard and the pen as well which makes the price still around 1600 and i cant afford that 😭 i can spend 1400 max

[@Luna-ip4ri]

john doe my parents are buying this for me, so they gave me a budget...

[@posoidon7853]

In Australia, I had to pay $2000 for a surface pro 4 that had i5 8 gbs ram. It was insane

[@chrishasley5614]

I love your videos... nice, simple and very informative! Thank you!

[@greyareaRK1]

Excellent review, Lisa! Thank you.

[@JonatzGoesNuts]

I like that you mentioned Microsoft raised the price and excluded the pen. This might stop me from upgrading my 4 year old Vaio this year.

[@saqifrahman5324]

I wanted to know something, should I get the SP4 (Surface Pro 4) with i7 16gb ram/256gb or SP5 (Surface Pro 2017) with i5 8gb ram/256gb. I mainly need more BATTERY LIFE, according most other reviews they say that the SP5 has almost 50% more battery life than the SP4. But the SP4 has a cooling fan in it but the SP5 doesn't will that make a difference in battery life, and does the lack of "cooling fan" in SP5 cause it to throttle in high intensive tasks? And SP4 with i7 and 16gb ram mean it will get more battery life than the SP5 with it 8gb ram?

[@adosq]

Hi, is it possible copy/run two external 2,5" harddrives plugged to surface pro USB port. I want to buy this surface pro for my travels and i need to copy files from one disk to another. Also do you know answer for same question but for Surface GO? Thank you. Adam.

[@shivandana]

I love your videos, informative and puts me on a good mood for some reason.

[@aljoseven]

isn't that a backlight bleed on the very bottom around 7:27? I'm planning to have mine exchanged because of that 🤔. Also, something is activating the screen at the very upper right corner without me touching it. Aaaand... if I pressed ever so slightly in the middle of the screen, there's a sticky sound. Anyhow, great review.

[@tonyka1984]

Wouldn't the pen latency be better with Microsoft onenote or other own apps instead of photoshop?

[@gerardoaguilera4689]

Lisa i have an option between the Surface Pro 2017 i7 and the Surface Book w/ dGPU i7, which would be the best for the same price? Thanks!

[@RotemEren]

Does the Intel 620 gpu perform as well as on actively cooled implementations? Civ 6 is cpu heavy so that might not tell the full story.

[@timmmaay]

Have you tested the Surface Pro with a 4K external display? I am interested in performing basic functionality (primarily Visio) and want the pixel density available on a 4K display.

[@Fang-qg6bd]

Can this be hooked up to an external monitor? 4K? Also how about playing DVDs from an external USB DVD player? Or a mouse? Thanks.

[@huangzhucarlos]

Lisa, has your SP4 screen started to flicker after the latest Creator Updates ??

[@Steven-pi5nf]

Hey, I am planning to get the surface pro 2017 and I was wondering if I should get the i5 or i7 model. I am currently in the IB program in high school. I use laptops a lot for taking notes, doing homework and almost everything. I don't play graphic intensive games and often watch documentaries on my laptop. Though, I sometimes do very simple video editing for presentations and simple coding. Which model would you recommend? Thank you!

[@julianc3701]

Do all configurations have PCIe NVMe SSDs? Based on the spec sheets I've seen, I can't tell if it's NVMe for all of them or just the 1TB version. Based on the Crystal Disk Mark benchmark, it appears faster than the NVMe SSD in the HP Spectre x360, so just wanted to check.

[@XuanNguyen-op4qs]

The best laptop reviewing video I've ever seen. Thank you.

[@matthewsommerville88]

Thanks so much for these wonderful reviews!

[@danishroshaidie3215]

Hi, Lisa! I'm wondering how is the graphic performance on the i7 when doing some light graphic stuff such as Blender. How long would it take to render a BMW in 1920x 1080?

[@Nardio]

I'm tempted, but I read someplace that when the battery dies you are screwed. Supposedly Microsoft charges like $500 for a replacement. Can you confirm if this is true or not?

[@ballistik_coffee_boy]

Great review as always, Lisa. I love your reviews! Very honest and easy to relate to. A+! P.S. I decided to purchase the Surface Laptop mid-model, cobalt, and love it :) That one is great for writers. I still have an older Sp4 Core m model, too, for my drawing. Keep it up!

[@swnbrk3567]

Do you think the different between Surface Pro 4 & 5 is that big ? In Germany it is like 300-400€ between those.

[@Glamrgrl104]

Is this the s5? What would you recommend for drawing, watching movies and listening to music? I like the bigger screen of the surface and that it can run any windows apps is cool. Use it like a real comp but it's a tablet. Is it too big to rest in your lap? I want to have a tablet can draw on the couch with rather than be stuck at a computer.

[@indraperera6229]

Beautiful design and I went from a MacBook Pro 2016 to a Surface Pro 4 and was eagerly awaiting this SP. However, Win 10 is still not stable e.g. you highlighted that you are having issues with the Hello feature. With the recent price drop of the entry level MBP 13", there is now very little price difference once you add the keyboard. I went back to the new MBP 2017 model and loving it again. As a consumer, I should not have to mess around with software or hardware, it should 'just work'. Lisa, once again, a well balanced review. Thank you.

[@tamim.a]

Do you recommend editing videos on it ? Of yes which one or a MacBook Pro no touch is better ?

[@shahr0oz]

Lisa, will the old Surface Pen get the same 20ms latency on the new surface pro?

[@Radicalshikami]

Great complete review, definitely buy this one.

[@HalfJawElite]

Hey does this new 2017 Surface Pro have support for wireless display functionality? I own a Surface Pro 2 and use it quite often with my Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter, but have read in this review (www.notebookcheck.net/index.php?id=230716) that the Marvell wireless chip doesn't support wireless display! Is this true, or are these guys mistaken?

[@sdelliott31]

I'm upgrading from the SP3 Pro, and I've enjoyed it. I'm excited about the no fan on the i5 model. The i5/8gb/256gb seems to be the ideal, especially with the integrated microsd slot. I'm hoping the speakers are better which it sounds like they are and improved battery life. Just a nice portable yet powerful device for an older college student / substitute teacher. Thanks.

[@handquake]

I think my Mom said she told Microsoft she wasn't down with thunderbolt 3 on their Pro when I called her earlier today to tell her Happy 72'nd Birthday.

[@gummystar45]

Hey Lisa, do you think the Apple Pencil is better than the Surface Pen?

[@ProtoFC]

Great review Lisa, as always, thank you! On a side note, did you happen to try the new Surface Pen with Surface Pro 4? What's the compatibility level? Does tilt work? Official information is very sparse on this...

[@anwarhassan031980]

Hi Lisa, is this unit superior to the Dell 5285? I'm considering both units. Thanks

[@Insignificant88]

So do you prefer the new bamboo ink pen or the new surface pen? Is the bamboo pen better at IAF?

[@StopTheWarOnDrugs]

Is it possible to get the battery changed by Microsoft? And if they do, how much will it cost? I really do not want to buy a tablet-pc for 1500€ to throw it away after 2-3 years just because the battery is so bad.

[@vol43]

Such a helpful video as always, thank you!

[@outline5283]

just ordered a new surface pro for university! such a great device!

[@Kayla-en1oh]

Outline Hi I was thinking of buying one. How is it working out for you?

[@AriseWorks]

If they upgrade the Surface Book later this year with latest tech and features on par with this little beast, I am selling my iPad Pro and getting it. I hope they do and will not wait 4 years to come up with an update.

[@Geothunder]

It's not an actual computer, especially if you want to do some productivity. It also now gains the benefit of the new pen if you want to draw on it, which as she said above is great. It's just not cheap

[@AriseWorks]

I like the iPad Pro, don't get me wrong: it's brilliant at what it is. Everything it can do, it does very, very well. But I am getting into the phase that it's limiting what I can do by design. The best part of it was the Apple Pencil + iPP combo, and it was unmatched experience (outside of crazy priced Wacom Cintiqs that is). In Q3 2016 Microsoft had 1024 pen pressure levels and no tilt functionality and ~40ms of lag. Q2 2017 Microsoft introduces 4096 pen pressure levels and tilt, and ~20ms of lag - that's not just catching up, that is on par with industry leaders (including iPad Pro solution). Apart from drawing, taking notes and painting, add here an ability to work on motion graphics, 3d sculpting, ability to add external displays and whatnot - yeah, its good. I am willing to pay $2k for a surface book (that will be hopefully updated) to do, well, anything. I am talking about the surface book and not the surface pro because it is more powerful. I just need that more power.

[@pedrocarlootarola2503]

I'm desperately trying to to find a laptop for high school. I'm tryna to get something around 1000$ what do you think is a good option? I'm considering the hp spectre x360 line or surface pro 4

[@markos741]

I would totally but one of those, but the cost for the complete experience, pen and keyboard included# is over $1500. That's a bit crazy

[@8KMCD1]

I would like to know the speed and power difference between the 2017 Surface Pro i7 vs i5 both on 8MB while using only the MS Office. Is it worth getting the i7 if I will only be using the MS Office?

[@girardgarcia2530]

Thanks for doing this review. I've been on the fence for days if I should buy one or not, mainly because I was worried about the jitter problems on the pen. Now I have to decide if I should get the i5 or i7 option. Even if the i5 model, based on your tests, can take the heat, I'm still worried that something may go wrong after several months of use.

[@scottakers6005]

Wow, did I pick a good time to buy. I am sooo glad I recently got the old pro 4 bundle for $850 instead of paying more for a 2017 and not getting a pen.

I need to buy a 2 in 1 laptop as soon as possible. and i really like the Surface pro 2017. but i'm afraid because it doesn't have usb type c and in 2 years it might be too old compared to other laptops having usb type c. So should i wait for the next surface pro? Or should i buy another 2 in 1 like hp spectre or lenove yoga 920?? Hope you guys can help

[@IAmKenArts]

Hi. What kind of wireless microphone are you using?

[@shaurya87]

Fantastic review! Thank you so much :)

[@DaveFarr]

I don't know if it's due to an update or not, but the SP 2017 I bought about a month ago is AMAZING where facial unlocking is concerned. It doesn't matter if I'm wearing my glasses or not, wearing my cap or not...even in the dark! No complaints at all about that. The only bit of weirdness I've encountered is how it works with my Edifier bluetooth speakers. Changing the volume on the Surface has no effect at all unless I turn the volume to zero, then the sound is muted. But anything above zero is treated as 100% volume. So I have to control the volume on the speakers themselves. That one quirk aside, this version of the Surface Pro is truly great. Fast, quiet, great battery life, wonderful screen. and just beautiful.

[@LifeWithDevanteB]

Would this be great for a photographer/videographer such as myself? Will it handle photoshop or video editing apps well?

[@lolzlolz102]

Re Pen in the box: When did MS start including the pen with the SP4? I ask as I purchased a SP4 i7/256/8 from a Microsoft store on release day back in October 2015 and the pen was extra.

[@giriarnab]

Does the body get heated up while charging? Or rather is it supposed to?
