The Problem With Surface Pro 11...

[@lEvanD1989]

If you don't like it, can i have yours?

[@RemofRenaissance]

I don’t get the reporting on these crazy prices. I got mine for £900 pre release offer. 16GB RAM and X Plus. For me the performance is not far off a M3 Air which costs in the UK £1100 for only 8GB RAM. That left money spare for a keyboard (last gen, don’t need the wireless one) and a pen? I can also upgrade the HDD myself whereas you can’t on a Mac. So for me very comparable. Weakness… I would imagine and as other reviews alude to…. Macs are better for video editing.

[@AnthonyRosas]

I run a tax business on an old Surface Go. These things are portable. I plug an Anker dongle and hook up a display and a wireless mouse. Although I'm over due for an upgrade I think they're great. This guy does not get it. Been using Macs since 84 and like them as well, but the Surface is also a great piece of tech.

[@FREDSTECHHUB]

What a total waste of time. 10 mins and you said nothing?

[@JZTechEngineering]

What is the purpose of this port? To prevent you from knocking your laptop over, and in a tablet there likely isn't enough space for anything but a headphone jack Why did they design the pencil like that? Its a lot harder to lose and has an actual side and eraser button that the apple pencil lacks along with software agnostic support Why does it take up so much space? Because that's how you have to design it if you don't want it to weight 15kg The keyboard isn't that good? That's a restriction of the space afforded to it, and the surfacw flex keyboard fixes that I use a surface pro for school, Intel version, and my only complaint is a non hdr display and battery life, that's it

[@OldFan639]

Bingo. You perfectly sum up an actual Surface Pro user's experience. I use mine for work. My work would have bought me a laptop, but as someone with a bad back, the weight is key. I agree that it is pricey, but for actual work production, it's great. I don't use the pencil, so that is a non-factor to me.

[@cillaxandsipsometea]

the pen shape is my fav tbh, also the keyboard cover does not get dirty at all, i still want the 3.5 jack port to be back imho

[@XTec_0815]

Damn, so you tell me I am doing everything wrong after being a proud Surface owner for over 5 Years? Yes, I do use my Surface on my lap comfortably in university, yes I use it as a full computer setup combined with the Surface dock with two additional monitors, yes I write A LOT on my surface and it is really comfortable. I think you not even tried to use the Surface in real working situations otherwise you would be surprised how well it handles most situations. I am happy, not to carry an IPad AND a Laptop to university every day, this would be too much. So after 5 years I can say that the 2 in 1 Surface pro is definitely a good thing. Best Regards

[@RemofRenaissance]

@@XTec_0815 I hear you on these points you raised. I’ve also enjoyed surfaces over the last 5 or so years and this latest one for me is the best purely because the weak link was battery and fans and this one fixes that. Performance is great and I have no comparability issues and this is to do real work (not gaming) although I am an analyst so really number crunching plus Power Bi reporting suite.

[@andrewbettis6760]

Say you love your ipad without saying you love your ipad. I have both the ipad and the surface. The more i get familiar with the surface the better i like it.

[@rhs_finscript]

I have 3 friends who came back to surface pro back from Apple devices. This is just an apple marketing

[@rhs_finscript]

We are tutors who use surface pro devices for teaching.

[@timothyjholloway]

Your arguments about the 2-in-1 taking up too much space or being too awkward to use for students apply to every device like it. Do students today tote around their laptops? Nobody writes with pen and paper? It's a lot more convenient than taking out a giant electronic slab when you can use a notebook and pen. But typing is much faster if you're any good at it. I think manufacturers may cater too much to looks and not enough to practical concerns. Those stupid enough to pay thousands of dollars every year or two for something nice to use are the audience, not people who want to buy a great device that will last them years and increase their productivity. By the way, why are you showing off a MacBook with a touchbar? Is that what you have instead of something current? Is the keyboard the same as a modern MacBook or does it have a butterfly keyboard? Honestly, you didn't have a lot to say, did you? Maybe be willing to redo videos or develop your opinions. Don't be so time-consumingly obvious in what you say that it's almost annoying to watch a 10-minute video of it.

[@pandaman21]

Okay so you're only valid point you had throughout this entire video was the poor stand design. You're trying to make a 1 on 1 comparison between two products targeting a different audience. Not to mention the comparisons you're attempting to make are really unreasonable. You're trying to compare keyboards, yet actual laptops have a more open space inside of the body giving more room for a better design. And honestly the keyboards feel great compared to most. I have a $150 Chromebook next to me and miles apart in how they feel. Your argument for the pencil is that you don't like the way it feels? Maybe hop off the iPad for a few weeks to actually test and get a real feel for it? It's all subjective, but when you're use to a certain feel then trying something new won't feel too great. Plus, it also super subjective. I've had both and I feel like the gripping on the surface pencil is better than the Apple pencil. The entire point of the magnetic charger is to be a save mechanism for you or someone else potentially walking through the charging wire and not pulling the entire unit with it.

[@Pohajalebisamosakachori]

Can't use it on your Lap? Just detach the keyboard and use it like an iPad for iPad like tasks (note taking, watching KZbin/movies). Need to use it as full fledged computer, palce it on a desk. Simple as that.

[@salvadoresquivelnavarro8768]

I see this guy extremely biased and he can't get the most out of the device, he doesn't understand the possibilities. It's basically and Ipad that runs windows, if you want to see it that way I suppose. That means you can use full grown up computer software in a tablet!. As a design student, you have no idea of how useful is being able to use the pen directly on your device, it's not just silly writing, you can use an Illustration software on it and not just procrate. The pen is great compared to a digital drawing tablet, it's a worthy opponent, maybe some people will like more the "paper like" texture of some drawing tablets screen, but I like the "whiteboard glass" texture. There are some features I like from the apple pencil, such as being able to charge it don the device without relying on the external keyboard, but generally I actually like more how the flat slim pen 2 is. And I can say it as a person who has done digital illustration, as well as I noticed that the screen detects beatifully when you are using your actual finger or if you just are laying down your hand and it doesn't confuse themn wich is quite impressive since in even Wacom tablets the detection is so bad you just disable all touch inputs most of the times. The argument of "not being able to use it on your lap" it's silly. Use it as a tablet then, fold the keyboard back, and if you need to write something use the touch keyboard on the scren, as well as I don't see anyone being productive using a device on their lap, that's the kind of thing you do to consume content, and it's not ergonomic for long working sessions. The trackpad is great for being a cover, it's not a actual laptop keyboard, I doubt there are any keyboard covers that manage to be able to have a good trackpad in such little space, but I would complain about the price. I do like the pen slot in where it won't get lost, but I certainly don't like how you need the keyboard to charge the pen. All and all, I can see that these are comments from an unexperienced and close minded person who can't even imagine the advantages of the format of the device they are using or right away jumping into the old Microsoft vs Apple riot again.

[@Jimmyfly215]

nothing more bothers me when people discuss surface pros as tablets. theres nothing tablet like other than it is a touch screen.

[@fernandoprieto2865]

Ok. How much Apple stock do you own ? :-).

[@imSpixel]

A lot

[@Yur1994]

I grabbed the elite for 1299 and an open box pro flex keyboard for 220 in the US. You can definitely use this without a problem on a smaller surface or your lap. Just walk into a store that has the product and test it out before buying it. You're better off getting a surface pro instead of buying an ipad and a keyboard which will probably make your tablet weigh more than a laptop. Don't let this video steer you away. This guy's page is all about apple products. He's bias.

[@mortinocano169]

How's that keyboard? Significantly better than the standard?

[@shubhamkumar5373]

In last 10 years, this is the first time I'm hearing someone complain about Surface Pro's form factor. This 2-in-1 form factor isn't designed for everyone in the first place. If someone wants to use it on their laps then better to buy a laptop. Surface Pro has its own productivity points and that's why it has a specific target audience.

[@RafaelMorales08]

where are you getting these prices? If you want an OLED X Elite with the pen and keyboard it goes to around 2k, stilll expensive but nowhere near 3k

[@iamapie13]

I don't think it's competing with an iPad air, I think it's competing with the iPad Pro which is about the same price, except this can do a lot more because it's not limited by iPad OS. Also I agree that the default surface stylus is not the best, but supports 3rd party stylus, all of them feature full and a lot of them are really good so you have the choice to buy a better stylus instead. Most apple pencil alternatives are missing features cause apple doesn't allow 3rd parties to use their tech

[@DjokoT-p6b]

3:50 no one addressed this problem like you. Good finding

[@vin.k.k]

Not sure what you're trying to do or say.

[@chukosobi7297]

If you want a lap top you buy a laptop. This is not a laptop.

[@davidemesina3909]

So true.

[@illusioned0ne]

Why compare it to a Mac air but not the iPad when this isn't the laptop studio 2 and instead of the tablet surface pro? The surface pro is a tablet 2 in 1 and not a laptop but still has the full windows OS which means you can do everything you would on a laptop. The iPad isn't a part of macOS and doesn't have the ability to do everything a Mac could and this is where you really missed the mark.

[@louietheswan9689]

love my ipad

[@supermaryo1986]

I am having a problem with my Surface Pro 11 especially if I'm gonna use it as an extended second screen display via wireless connection.

[@FrankuC-xd1dz]

So bad video. Just hate and nothing concise. Literally an apple fan hating everything.

[@Ezekialify]

What a terrible review man. At 4:00 You talk about the space it takes up without once mentioning the fact the keyboard is self charging and able to be used while disconnected from the laptop, actually reducing the space needed to next to nothing. Like wtf...

[@ap360]

Such an ill informed video 😅

[@DepasarGadgetIndonesia]

This was the best windows tablet with 45 tops, for copilot PC, for 16gb ram this was good offer, check the processor performance, it's was amazing, we had the windows customer and they love this product❤ ❤

[@georgewashington3012]

Yep, crappy product that excels at nothing. The price is hilarious.

[@allstarkidXD]

I gave up on the surface pro after many years i went for the laptop 7

[@rnoerachmad]

Agreed with you.... this's premium prices as microsoft usual did, but the taste not.... Apple did it better

[@gamarrathcarlos8753]

as an IT telecommunication What a total waste of time 10 mins. you said nothing and 80 % disagree ur point of view so ridiculous.......|||||||||||

[@williamc5648]

Bro what are these comments yapping about 😂 you bring up good points to consider

[@selina7125]

What in the world? You just sold me a surface pro.

[@mortinocano169]

I am a surface fanboy and I still agree with everything you said.

[@macrealm]

just waste my time here mate do better next time

[@Youtubeuseritis]

Thank you for saving me a lot of money!

[@Clodderes]

You just compare the form factor. And not only applicable to surface but to all the others.

[@georgewashington3012]

So many commenters triggered by you pointing out obvious flaws and making logical statements hah. It’s so bizarre how some people wrap their identity around a brand.

[@gamarrathcarlos8753]

sooooooooooo ridiculous point of view

[@villagelife7591]

Does this guy know anything ?

[@АртемТкачев-э8и]

Great review! Thank you!

[@borisjohnson6809]

Waste of time.

[@user-qw5kn6dm9b]

Just hit the diskile and leave

[@someguy321]

Oh no! A tablet that doesn't have the same ergonomic features that a laptop has. I wonder how that is! Maybe buy a laptop if you want a laptop? dude srly wtf. Actually I just realized your video has more downvotes than upvotes lol k bye

[@pavandronamraju1627]

My god.. the build up he gave at the start.. thought the are some problems. Such a waste of time.. atleast Microsoft is doing some innovative here..

[@Adrian-vq2rh]

so.. not even one solid argument against it, except: it's expensive. what a waste of time. you should stop making reviews.

[@williamc5648]

The screen angle problem is a great point he made.

[@vogelf.8215]

So, what is YOUR Problem?

[@Dance_Maker_Official]

Really like your vids ❤❤

[@JawadKidz]

same

[@imSpixel]

🫡

[@FaisalKhan-nz1dd]

Bruh, you talking shittt ! Tf 😂

[@andyH_England]

Yes. Even MS has given up on Windows tablets by abandoning the Android subsystem for Windows. MS made a stupid mistake when iPads arrived by saying they were useless and that Windows tablets were the biz, despite everyone hating them. They regretted this quickly and would not admit it, so they continued on their merry way when they could have gone Android, and now MS is nothing in the tablet market. The SP11 remains significantly compromised, although a diminishing number of fans will continue to praise it. If it was cheaper to compensate for the experience, maybe it would not face falling sales, but the OLED version is around two times the cost of an OLED Android tablet, so sensible people can buy an X Elite laptop with the Tab S9 Ultra for a similar price. I would say that that option (or Intel/AMD) is highly recommended. SP11 is barely an average laptop and a miserable tablet.

[@Rusty01]

my guess is youve never used a surface pro and your just blabbing bs youve heard online. So due to your dumb brain i wont be suprised
