[@ghtechreview]

[@futgaming]

hey how come no plugins work with my surface pro 11 is it because of windows arm? i tried installing some plugins but it wont work help!

[@ghtechreview]

I hope you find this update helpful. What is your editing software of choice, Premiere Pro or Davinci Resolve?

[@craftymartaco]

Definitely Adobe Premier Pro 😊

[@fildyb]

can you explain what do you mean by arm laptop?

[@christiancote661]

Hi, what tablet stand are you using?

[@ghtechreview]

Hello, It's from Benks but It looks like it's no longer available. This is pretty much the same one that I have. amzn.to/3CfRTeE

The keyboard definitely gets dirty/discolored easily and quickly. Mine started looking like yours in less than 2 months, and I was able to chat with Microsoft Support online and get a new one... with which I now feel the need to be overly careful to try to preserve the physical quality as long as possible. They insist you can clean it with liquid dish soap, but you can't.

[@ghtechreview]

That sucks, I knew I should of gone with the black one but I really liked how the blue looked. Yeah liquid dish soap didn't help much 😕

Thank you for the review. It's a little annoying that Windows software manufacturers have been so slow to release ARM64 versions. It's clearly to do with economics, and it shows how having Apple's stranglehold on the OS, benefits users. My iPad Pro 5th Gen 12.9 1Tb Cellular which cost me £1800, needed the charge port replacing. Apple wanted £975 to replace it with a refurbished unit, apparently they can't be repaired. So I asked how they can refurbish if they can't repair? After that, I decided I was ditching the iPad Pro and buying a Surface Pro 11 X Elite. I use my SP11P mainly for work, because it's more portable than my work, Dell Laptop. I always said that if MacOS was on iPad it would be devastating for Surfaces. However, with the lack of repairability and Apple's greed will never see MacOS on iPad Pro.

Thank you for watching and taking the time to share your experience. Hopefully there are more compatible apps with the ARM surface pro and that the tablet version of windows continues to improve.

We are getting very close to perfection 👌🏾 Shame we don't have an Intel Lunar Lake Surface Pro 11 to compare Arm vs x86. I'm hoping for Intel to have Thunderbolt 5 integrated in the next Soc. Windows on Arm has made great progress with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite. Glad Qualcomm has won the legal law suit with Arm and is about to launch Snapdragon X Elite Gen 2.

Did it crash too? My surface 7 15" laptop crashes everytime using premiere pro. DaVinci Studio runs smooth without any crash. Unfortunately no 32gb RAM available, only on the business version, which is around 2,5k...

[@Rusty01]

Yeah I think resolve is more optimised for it

[@andyH_England]

It’s a solid detachable, but the real problem is that most of us don’t find much relevance in these designs because they compromise the laptop and tablet experience. So, for me, buying the best laptop and the best tablet for my needs easily surpasses a compromised device like the Surface Pro. However, it’s all subjective. If you can make it work and aren’t limited by Windows being a subpar tablet with limited apps and lacking quality iPadOS apps, then it might be acceptable.

[@ghtechreview]

Thank you for watching and sharing your experience. I hardly use the surface pro 11 in tablet mode so for me it's perfectly fine, I know the software could be better for windows in tablet mode. The iPad definitely has the upper hand, but for what I need it the surface pro 11 is good enough to be used as a tablet and laptop.

[@acumen1]

​@@ghtechreviewis It the DAVINCI RESOLVE 19?

[@MB-dq2gz]

Definitely subjective because I have been long since spoiled by the form factor and prefer no other device as a do it all ultra portable. I have owned 5 so far personally. However I am still on the fence with ARM I would like to try the next generation of snapdragon processors on one. I have been thinking of jumping to a MacBook pro because I want to use davinci resolve, but seems like they have ironed out most of the bugs.

[@winwinpc]

i wanted to know if this can run After Effects.

[@Steven205]

No don't bother. This doesn't have the graphics power to push AE.

[@rnoerachmad]

You should tried psb ffile in Ps, you'll see what the diffrent between M series from Apple vs X Elite from SD. And also you wouldn't create video timeline in Ps. Even so you can from installer intel system, still you won't be able to play/edit it. But u can do it in just M1 with only 8 GB RAM but with lagging. This system still has to be fixed by Microsoft for better efisiensi menu, more simple like Apple did and also Adobe. I think Adobe after effect will also won't play well too in Arm SD. And yes i didn't strong recomended this system now, and stick to M series from Apple would be better.

[@ghtechreview]

I appreciate your feedback and suggestions! I'll definitely be experimenting with different file types and see how it performs.

Clean the keyboard with soap and damp water.
