Really appreciate this video. Every video of the surface pro nine just reviews it with the keyboard case attached, they never talk about the experience of using it as a tablet compared to an iPad for example

Have you had any problems with folding the surface keyboard backward? I just got my surface pro and didn’t want to damage it, but it seems like it might be intended.

This channel is a gem if you have a Surface Pro. I'm very happy about the hardware but the software still needs a lot of refining in my opinion, especially when using the pen or when it comes to the Microsoft Store, Office 365, things like that. Anyways, thanks for the videos!

I will probably be visiting this video very often. I'll be getting a Surface Pro 3--mainly for viewing MPEG-4 movies. But, since it is also a legitimate PC, the whole concept of tablet navigation, as opposed to desktop navigation via mouse holds a certain amount of fear and apprehension. We'll see how well a 79 year old person does.

Windows 11 has removed the specific “tablet mode” button and the device just automatically converts to larger icons and easier tablet use when they keyboard is disconnected

Nice and useful! I was checking what drawing tablet to buy and thinking about wacom, then wanted to check how's Microsoft surface because my wife has one and she's not using it so now I guess I'll just buy a surface pen instead of drawing tablet and draw on MS, thanks a lot! Can you please tell me is it going to be possible to model in blender (since surface isn't that strong)? Is it going to be laggy or something, any advice?
@AldoJames7 ай бұрын
If you're going to get blender and run really heavy renders you might want to consider the Surface Laptop Studio as it has a H class processor and dedicated nVidia graphics. It's a bit more expensive but it's a beast of a machine

Wow it seems that Windows 11 on these newer SPs is miles better than Windows 10 on my old SP4. Seems much more intuitive to just have a more tablet friendly version of the existing desktop interface than to try and create something entirely new and more confusing.

Aldo is a name I haven't heard since my chidhood...are you of Italian ancestry, by any chance? I'll admit that I watched your video very rapidly so I may have missed it, but aren't you forgetting to mention what I believe is a crucial advantage of the stylus pen over a finger, and that is the ability to trigger the Windows hover / popup message function, otherwise only possible by moving an on-screen pointer with a mouse or touchpad? PS: You have some interesting slightly tapered phalanxes there which seem perfectly suited to the little icons on a touchscreen! 😉👆

Imagine a modern smartphone or "phablet" powered by a snapdragon 8 gen 3 or snapdragon X Elite, and maybe a undervolted RDNA3 AMD chip, running a optimized Windows 11 ARM handheld version in a touch/tablet mode (with gesture support)... I wish we had a "PDA" type device back to the market, modern smartphones are powerful, Android is great, but nothing compared with a full robust OS like Windows/Linux, would be great for productivity and portability purposes

I am considering purchasing the surface pro 9 but have a query. When the surface pro 9 is in tablet mode, and in portrait orientation, and a multiple page pdf is open, is it possible to through the pages from left to right rather than swiping up? I want to use the pro to read music and it would be much better to swipe from right to left. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Yeah of course you can do that. But that's a function of app actually, unfortunately Microsoft edge doesn't offer side slide function till now, but you can use other software like drawboard, foxit, Adobe acrobat (may be, not sure). But you can do it in surface for sure
