Happy birthday to you in 3 days (or today lol), I'm grabbing a Surface Pro 7 Plus, giving it another go as I wanted to try it again after my sour experience of Surface Pro 4 :,)

[@TigransTips]

​@@qmng How'd it go?

[@qmng]

@@TigransTips it's perfect so far, battery life does hold up aight (for a windows tablet), considering its health when i got it (~95% health). Good for 5hrs of continuous mixed use (mainly yt) The removable SSD is such a lifesaver, upgraded to 1TB instantly from 256GB. Iris Xe graphics is also another great addition, some light, mid range graphics games handled 1080p no problem (e.g. Minecraft, Genshin, HSR) 8GB RAM, even for a tablet is too little (remember this is a windows machine regardless), constantly hitting swap usage but not quite noticeable thanks to SSD (but this will wear SSD health down a lot quicker) Bonus: for those installing glass screen protector like me, the touch will be less responsive when not plugged in, as the touch capacitance on surface pro is quite weak

[@skiesyellow4519]

That generic charger almost started a fire and killed you o.o? Jeez, that's scary! This is why you should use the charger that comes with a device. A different one may make it charge faster but it's the wrong voltage, it could mess up the battery. (I almost just said 'batter'. How amazing.)

[@taududeblobber221]

Did you miss the part where he said that the original charger started cutting out?

[@kylepadilla7022]

@@taududeblobber221 in other words use a original/genuine charger from microsoft themselves

[@Vista-Pet]

i can't beileve Phil recorded this on April Fools and didn't fool us!

[@qmng]

Today marked the 9 year anniversary of this vlog lol, I'm wondering where that Surface went... (ps.: I just bought a Surface Pro 7 Plus, giving Surface another go after the flopped experience of my Surface Pro 4 2 years ago)

[@EditedYoshi]

Had a surface pro 4 also, replaced it with a MacBook , the surface pro 4 was awful for me also.

[@qmng]

ohh which macbook u have? I'm using 16" m1 pro, thicc boi that i wanted not to carry everyday :,)

My Surface RT does that taping thing, and I cracked it the slightest in the bottom right corner and the charms bar won't come out without several tries!

[@TJ-wf1rr]

you can use your surface 1 charger to cook a egg while charging your surface

[@TrollGamerStudios]

Any update on new OsFirstTimer videos?

[@OSFTHistoricVLogs]

***** Finale Notepad 2007 (released 2006) on Windows XP... Just trying to find the time when my mum is free so we can film. That's why I dislike co-op channels. They are fun but a nightmare to arrange filming times.

[@TheYellowPolarBear]

Philip's right, having more than 1 channel is fun but stressful for filming time. I have TheYellowPolarBear2 and I barely upload vids to it cuz' I'm busy on my original channel.

[@OSFTHistoricVLogs]

TheYellowPolarBear True but the main issue is when you film with a second person. OSFirstTimer episodes can only be filmed when both my mother and I have time. Sometimes she might have time but I'll be at work then she will be at work but I will have time. We both have to be available when its time to film an episode.

[@TrollGamerStudios]

OSFT Historic VLogs An episode on Finale Notepad sounds awesome, since your mom (or mum) stated that she is horrible at music. I can't wait to see it, but don't feel rushed. The true subscribers will wait. I love your vids, thanks for making them.

[@Thorcooper1]

You could wait until the surface 3 came out, and save money

[@ElectrofizzStudiosCo]

How on earth do you upload 4K videos on that speed internet

[@OsFirstTimer]

***** Click upload, wait 3 days then done ;)

[@ElectrofizzStudiosCo]

And I thought 5mbit/s internet was painful

[@Happytylermovieproducction]

OSFirstTimer Compress the video using handbrake it will save you by %65!

[@Codyy._]

Well my upload speed is 10 megabytes a second

[@ElectrofizzStudiosCo]

@@Codyy._ In the time since my comment my internet speed has increased to 500mbit down 50 up.. what bliss.

[@MichaelPower_]

Phil, would be able to upload your Macbook unboxing? I'm very interested in seeing it.

[@needhamj1000]

mikey88772 How do you know that he is getting a MacBook ???

[@evancrazyerror]

James Needham He had one at the start of the channel.

[@needhamj1000]

Oh...I thought you meant he was getting one of the new macbooks. xD

[@asok00]

March 9th 2009, watch his video of "Mum Tries Out Windows Chicago" video, it shows a clip of it.

[@yunglemonakis]

He had it on his 12padams channel then he deleted his channel

[@JohnEd_04]

In the Philippines, the Octagon store is the most popular computer store.

[@B10KPlaysGames]

Have you noticed that there was a loop in the surface pro 3 type cover box? The loop to hold the pen?

[@danielm.5826]

what are you going to do with the old surface?

[@strikeforcerock]

Can you link to the wallpaper please?

[@whogivesacrap2917]

you are the host of OSFirstTimer

[@HeyItzMeeChris]

Hey Phil, I've watched this video so many times now. xD I know how unusable the Surface Pro 1 is with a generic charger - I have a Surface Pro 1 and I got scammed out of a "genuine charger". It was overheating like crazy and damaged my battery slightly so I have a little while before I go to college to get a new battery. Anyway, mine did the same exact thing as your Surface Pro 1 with all the touch points and stuff when you tap once, not even the Surface Pro 1 pen would work correctly with the charger in, I'm not sure if you experienced that issue. However nowadays, on eBay you can find chargers for the Surface Pro 1/2 for cheap and you just gotta make sure they're genuine. I luckily bought another one and my Surface works awesome now, just the battery which sucks but at least I can use it. I doubt you have the Surface Pro 1 anymore or the Pro 3 but yeah, I thought why not explain this.

[@qmng]

Sounds like you went on a Surface adventure lol - I had my sour experience w/ Surface Pro 4, getting in to the laptop hybrid form factor. I used to dream of getting one and hands-on w/ it. The sub-par 3hr battery (since it's pre-owned from a business) rlly drove me out of it. Now, I've decided to give it another go w/ the Surface Pro 7 Plus, the tablet is in good condition, over 90% battery health so I hope my experience should be good!

[@alexweldon7354]

Can you upload a video of you outside as a toddler, as sort of a sequel to the first video?

[@willwaters8553]

Is this an actual osft channel

[@ourwonderfulworld8214]

Changed the posison of the button

[@bloodrace]

Why did u get the Surface Pro 3 instead of the Surface 3 becuase its a lot cheaper but its not Windows RT instead Full-Windows

[@shrijanshetty6642]

Hey Phil, I'm moving up to Year 9 soon, and I really want to be a computer scientist, so do you know what GCSEs (or your equivalent) I need, obviously Maths and Computer Science but I'm wondering if I need to do a computing one and an ICT GCSE. By the way I am a huge fan, you are the one channel who inspired me to learn about computers and OSs! 😀

[@OSFTHistoricVLogs]

In highschool I chose Software Development and Design as well as Information Processes and Technology. Not sure if that helps you or not though, just saying what I chose. I didn't end up choosing to go into the computer field though... I became an Early Childhood Educator

[@vicr123]

GASP! You did Software Design and Development!? :D

[@OSFTHistoricVLogs]

Yep, came 1st in every test and assignment except for one in which I came second. I was very depressed that day :(

[@vicr123]

OSFT Historic VLogs Did they run it at your school or was it outsourced? :) Well, I have a software design and development test tomorrow. :(

[@OSFTHistoricVLogs]

Victor Tran It was run at school but after hours from 3pm till 5:30pm. Good luck in your test :)

[@feelsaxelman]

PLEASE DONT DELETE THIS CHANNEL!!!!!!! If so I want to ask this fist. Would you let me download your videos for me to watch by myself and not to upload????

[@animowany111]

annrhrhhd hahdggdgdbs You already are "Downloading his videos for you to watch by yourself and not to upload." Unless you're watching with somebody else right now. The video somehow has to get to the youtube player, that means you had to download the video. Even if it's streamed.

[@feelsaxelman]

I am not currently downloading them right now, so please dont make assumtions. And had you ever heard of the word ass-u-me. Thats what you do when you assume. You make an ass out of you and me.

[@OsFirstTimer]

annrhrhhd hahdggdgdbs Don't worry I wont delete the channel. I don't think I'll upload to it much though as uploading my videos is a huge internet drainer...

[@feelsaxelman]

Thank you! And I'm so happy right now. I never had a semi-famous youtuber respond to a comment I posted and thank you. I want to keep watching your videos and keep up the good work making os firstimer advanced videos

[@Happytylermovieproducction]

iAxelModder HD Ok After first 100 Subscriber! i'm start a Tylerienmam Advanced plus and Trienmam turbo with turbo + video! and it going to be better than my original channel which it channel to talk to you right now! i have Sony vegas so i can make more professional video!

Just give the power cord an ice pack.

jesus phil, be grateful with what you have

[@alexanderstoyanov3128]

What do you mean

[@techandgames3278]

Surface Pro 1 is the Surface RT

[@jaxanddaddy]

what are you doing with the old one?

[@qmng]

the question we still wonder to this day, now that this vlog is 9 years old (even this current Pro 3 as well)

[@wwemario12345]

I really want a surface pro 3

[@DylanDurdle]

Did I hear that right, that you were using a generic adapter for the Surface Pro 1?

[@taududeblobber221]

Yes, because the old one started cutting out.

[@melbournegt86]

you should dual boot it with android x86

[@samueldavison-henry2347]

Wow quite dear

[@OSFTHistoricVLogs]

Sam Sam exactly why I didn't want to buy it lol. I love tablet computers and my surface 1 was fine till the potential fire hazard started so I had to get the surface 3. Seriously, not getting anything else this year... Till I get a larger backup drive next January :(

[@samueldavison-henry2347]

Yeah :)

[@gaybenshapiro_]

OSFT Historic VLogs You know, there's probably a way to set up a drive inside the Area 51 as a network store where you can set the Surface to do a file history backup every X hours

[@jakeyounglol]

why does the new one come with win 8 when windows 10 is released

[@mundoooo800]

Surface Pro is a tablet and laptop at the same time Windows 8 is more of a touchscreen OS

can you buy the Surface Pro 4

Element Technology Definitely wouldn't be using as a main computer. Have my Gaming PC I built for that :p. Just wanted something light to take with me places and use web and email on.

[@HeyItzMeeChris]

I know this comment is old, but I'd recommend a Surface Pro 1 in 2023, it still works perfectly fine and I can still do anything I need to and I use it for notes and that sorta stuff.

[@weekdays133]

I,m getting a surface pro 4 for Christmas

[@kzed]

Yea my dad had a surface pro 3 and when you charge it, it over heats(badly) it feels like it’s gonna set on fire and I’m using the proper charger. Edit: I got a surface pro 5, same problem, and it’s base spec, i5 4gb ram 128gb ssd intel uhd graphics 617. It is soooo slow and terrible. Edit 2.0: contacts for keyboard broken, awful. Never buying a surface again.(btw it’s the contacts on the surface not the keyboard)

[@axethepenguin]

you must be the most unlucky person in the world because this shouldn't happen twice

[@qmng]

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised 4gb ram is slow and terrible... I recently grabbed a Surface Pro 7 plus w/ 8gb ram and I'm fearing it's not gonna be enough for today's standard of multitasking, most people are going w/ 16gb ram nowadays (2023-24)

[@not_darko]

its much more cool if the surface pro 3 is in win10 (windows 10) also with win10 (windows 10)

[@gamerboi-ag132]

It was eligible for the upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1

[@92centpetrol89]

can i have the old one?

[@channelnolongerused9610]

and risk a fire due to the generic charger..

[@MicroLord]

you will hate it because there are glitchs on it it only has 2 to 3 hrs and that box overheats alot and it will smell like burning plastic

You make KZbin money, right?

[@OsFirstTimer]

Wilsonl01 Yes but the money is quite hopeless. For example this channel has made $2 in the last 2 months... (OSFirstTimer makes a lot more though) My main source of income is $650 a week working as an Early Childhood Educator. So this took 2 weeks to save for.
