Someone gave it to me and she bought it from US and shipped it to where I am, Philippines. I don't know if there's anyone here nearby who knows how to fix my sureface rt.

I like your video man. Informative, and in depth about the tablet which is good in 2021 considering how cheap these are but how little support they have. I remember looking for a surface in 2017 and they were £50 even then on eBay... trouble is the app compatibility is just not good enough

@@iHelptube I just bought a Verizon LTE surface 3 for $110. It's still good because if you're a traveler and don't have unlimited WiFi, you can connect the tablet to the TV via mini dpport and HDMI. Full HD or 4k quality. The cheapest alternative for travelers with no unlimited WiFi. Plus I can extend the screen and watch Movie on TV and watch another in the tablet. I'm excited 😂 I didn't think about this before. I can't think of a better alternative that's cheap, connecting phone to TV have very bad image quality. So it was either $150 a month for unlimited WiFi or buy a used LTE surface 3. I'm hoping I can still use text, I believe I can because I did when I had LTE iPad long ago. I don't really have friends who calls me anyway so texting is good enough
