- Review of the Surface Pro 6. It's my favourite 2-in-1 laptop and probably the best 2-in-1 laptop/tablet on the market. It may have the same design and lack of USB Type-C but it just gets everything else right. Watch for the full review!

A little late on this review but nonetheless here it is! Surface Pro 6! Hit me up on discord if you have any questions! Discord.gg/mattmoniz
In u r video "2:40" -"2:47" when u saying about display quality the Tony stark matching u r voice and look like he checking bazels & display quality 😂😂
Matt, how do you think this device will do with we'd development and maybe some mobile development down the line.
Have you reviewed the Samsung notebook 9 2in1?
Giveaway Please Huawei mate 20 pro
Did yours peel as well?
Can we all just appreciate Matt’s window casts the windows ten logo on his wall near perfectly?
Lol
Can't not notice that now :)
I almost didn't notice. 😀 Respect.

Remove the stupid minidisplay port and put a USB c. Then this thing can survive the test of time and be outsold to death.
Needs Thunderbolt 3 tho so it can actually have capable graphics. Intel HD will be outdated in less than a year.
It doesnt have enough PCIE lanes... The CPU has 12, 4 for the SSD, 4 for the Keyboard Connector, and 4 for the Surface Connect Port
@@keegans.6549 why does a keyboard need pcie, can't this be usb?
@@keegans.6549 The thunderbolt 3 port would replace the need for the propriety Surface Connect Port, which is why I'm guessing Microsoft hasn't included it yet
@@ashrust8911 Well the idea is Thunderbolt not just regular usb C
I love the black Matt finish
😂
Scratches off easily tho
I love the other black matt
I honestly LOVE their designs so much!!! I think HP is the only one who can compete
Agreed
I heard hp always has problems. I was going to get the spectre but the reviews are horrible
@@sneezygibz6403 My friend's HP had a malfunction with the keyboard and it stopped working (he just got it). He could not even log in to his computer. Soooo yea...I never said I would BUY one.
@@Prism_JTN yea its crazy man. Hp has given me nothing but problems. I'm sticking to the surface products
@@sneezygibz6403 I only buy Surface producs and Acer products. Asus us pretty good too.
I so agree with the Thunderbolt 3 criticism. If this device had it, you’d have the ultimate “All in One” PC. You can make it your tablet, your laptop, your gaming pc, and your productivity device. And considering they’re using Intel CPUs, there’s not reason why it doesn’t have it. They’re shooting themselves in the foot every year they don’t add it. And for those who say “I don’t have Thunderbolt 3/USB-C devices, so why would I need it?”, dude, why “would” you a Thunderbolt 3 accessory if you don’t have a Thunderbolt 3 Computer that uses it? You need the device first to get and use the accessories. Otherwise, you’re buying a brand new device that’s “not” supporting future accessories. It’s like buying a TV with a built in VHS player in the age of blu-rays. You think you’re gonna own any blurays for that VHS player? No. And since this is your new TV, you still won’t, despite VHS tapes not being sold anymore.
This was just a refresh with new CPU and new color, the real upgrade will come next year. According to patents Microsoft is not only adding a type C port but they are making it magnetic (and apparently not flimsy as the ones you can buy from China). So it's coming and it should even improve over what we have now
They should still keep the full sized USB port though. It is nice having that in tablet form factor and adds the device versatility. There are surely enough space for both USB A and C.
@@_Digitalguy Does that mean Microsoft is going to phase out the surface connect port?
@@weaverquest I would guess so, but I personally like very much the surfaceconnect and absolutely need the USB A... Maybe they could make the transition to the magnetic USB C over 2 generations, I don't know... I would hope so... but what is certain is that the surface pro 7 will be quite different from the pro 6.... (with thinner bezels and usb C being a given according to insider sources...)
@@_Digitalguy Do you know around what period this rumoured surface pro will be released? I'm going to get the surface pro 6 because I need the best 2 in 1 I can afford right now but I hate the lack of type c
A note on the bezels: If Microsoft want to keep the bezels symmetrical everywhere, they cant trim them any more, the keyboard needs to be able to be at an incline, and therefore the bezels are there for it to not be on the screen. Microsoft could trim all the bezels except the bottom one, but then it would look stupid as a tablet, and I don't think Microsoft will just trim the sides because again, that would look dumb. the bezels are most likely here to stay on the surface pro.
The bezels are totally fine, I don't see any reason to make them thinner. Otherwise you will block some screen space with your thumb
Hopefully Microsoft has the courage to keep the bezels, but I doubt it. The current form factor is just perfect, and that's why they haven't changed it for many years.

It's matte black. Matt is a name, a mat is something you wrestle on, and matte is something that isn't shiny.

Still using a Surface pro 2 Since release day... it really holds up to this day even for light gaming
What do you mean by light gaming?
@@Desypher212 Games like Overwatch and The crew 2 on lower graphics setings :)
@@custard9731 that's not light gaming, that's heavy gaming on low settings
Dunno why everybody seems so hyped about USB-C.
This comment didn't age well” 😆
Hm, you are asking if the SP6 is the best 2 in 1, but you are not really trying to answer this question. You are praising the SP6 an you result is, that it's probably one of the best 2-in-1. But you never really try to objectively answer the question you are asking in the headline. To give an answer, there really should be more devices to compare the SP6 to. So the title is just clickbait to me, even though the video in itself is nice. But my feelings are mixed since the headline evoked an expectation that the video couldn't hold up to.
Hard to imagine Surface line making any drastic changes to keep the design from "being stale" seeing how it was such a great design to begin with. Other than making slimmer bezels and adding USB type-C, there isn't much they do do on the design end. I'm glad Matt didn't harp on design too much like other YTers have especially in comparison to Macbooks. Macbooks have looked the same to me for the past decade but it doesn't seem to get as much flack about it as Microsoft does.
Childish Calrissian If something is not broken, there is no reason to fix it.
It would be nice if on the software side, surface supports android apps to utilize the touchscreen.
@@hryank33 definitely would be nice to have access to Android apps since Microsoft app store isn't that great
I have surface pro 4 since last 2 years and i feel very satisfied on it. It also help a lot of my work such as engineering simulation, presentation, and sketch a drawing..
I got one a few months ago after not being able to decide for a while and i absolutely love it, its the best laptop and the best tablet ive ever had. Definitely staying with surfaces from now on
I bought my Surface (the exact same model as you have) three days ago, and i have to say that this little thing is more than just awesome.... didnt expect much, because i have a Quadro/Ryzen Workstation for my Work as a Photographer/Cutter .... but hey... the battery life killed it....
time to sell my last Apple device (the ipad) ...
I will be following you in the SP6, I can't wait any more for the perfect 7 or 10 to be out!
@@DarkPa1adin im still amazed, in my opinion it is a wonderful little working and fun device.... if you have some questions ... feel free to ask :D
@@bojangbg is it better than ipad pro 2018, I am confuse in these two
until you crack the display, or the SSD dies like mine did a week before the warranty dies. You can buy a new one because repairing these is not possible (despite some fake repair vids on iFxit). I got a new one and quickly sold the crap thinking of what would happen if it died a week later. Customer of mine cracked his display, under warranty period. The cost for display replacement that Microsoft gave was exactly the price of a new device, lol. They do not even try to repair them. Goodluck!
@@arnonabuurs7297 It's definitley not meant to store your sensible data on this Device... nor on any SSD drive....
29,- Euros for an insurance (5 years) .... i didnt even think about it.
youre welcome :)
Give us USB-C = I buy
Thunderbolt 3
I agree with the Crab CEO.
Just get an adapter......
Not just usb-c, but 40gbps Thunderbolt 3. Usb-c won't convince me to buy.
i agree with thunderbolt 3
We really³ need usbc or best case thunderbolt 3. the surface pro 6 is still rocking a usb 3.0 in 2019 - thats a clear no go for me to upgrade from my surface pro 2017
The Surface Pro 6 is still going strong in 2023. I bought mine a little over a month ago from Amazon for $499.99 plus tax. I have the 256GB I5 version. Sure. I have a high-end HP gaming laptop that is loaded with everything but I still find myself reaching for the Surface Pro 6 for my everyday computing needs. I find it is easier to do that plus I can take it where ever I go.. In closing I just want to sy that the Surface Pro 6 is still a great buy in 2023.
Love this surface pro ..
Your review is GREAT too..
Big like from Syria ❤
Mine will be here Monday. Im so excited 😭
2:23 "you throw it in your bag, you barely feel it"...not a good feeling!
What it misses:
LTE (for a cheap price)
Thunderbolt 3
dedicated GPU
small bezels
Then it's perfect.
I guess it's worth my moniz
your biggest fan has just arrived!
Woohoo! Thanks Haseeb!!
@@MatthewMoniz can i have a heart?
I've had the older Surface Pro 2, now I've ordered that one. I love Surfaces: they are so much more versarile than the competitors, and they are so durable!
Anyone else notice how the stylus almost drops at 2:27 and Matt's reaction is fucking priceless!
slim , dope and professional
I bought a SP6. It's really fast for what I do and the battery lasts for a day. Perfect for work & travel.
I'm sitting on the couch while typing this comment, it's ok on the lap :)
If you don't have a surface and even if you do, you should wait for the pro 7 for the thunder bolt and boost of power.
With the pro 7 I think we'll be getting something that will last us at least 4 years without feeling the need to upgrade if we do not want to.
Great review. Things I appreciate about your approach: you're fast, but not superficial. You're accurate, but not pedantic. Happy new year, Matt Black. :-)
Thanks Ricardo!! I appreciate the compliment. Happy New Year!
I upgraded from my Suface Pro 3 to this Matt Black SP6. As a professional who is always on the go, I have to say, its absolutely amazing. I'm so happy I upgraded!
Nice! Glad you're enjoyingit. It's pretty sweet!
I love my surface pro 6 and the keyboard i so good. Its like typing on a normal laptop keyboard which is impressive
I'd go with the Lenovo Yoga Series. Anything that has an i5 or even the new quad core i3 are is good enough for pure multitasking.
Love the surface pro line...but I won't be upgrading from the SP4 until they actually update it though. Great job Matthew.
I had a Galaxy Tab Pro S LTE, which was a lovely tablet, but I lost count of the times it tipped over backwards on my lap. It's never happened with my Surface Pro 4 or 6.
Typing on Spotify 😅😅😅
Love it 😍
is it good for programming / coding ????
My only gripe with my surface pro 6 was that it moved too much when in tablet mode, but I just put adhesive bumpers on it and now it doesn't slip around when I'm writing.
how fast i7 model is comparing with surface pro4 i7.
These things have been going for around $800, definitely a steal at that point!
Matthew who win the nitro 5???
Haven't announced it yet I'll do that when I get to Vegas
@@MatthewMoniz cool
Matthew Moniz thanks for the reply man
Have a nice trip to vegas
Quality as always. I wonder why haven't you reached a million yet
Its coming !
I got a Galaxy Book - kinda wish I'd picked up a Surface instead.
I bought a old dell latitude 5285 for 400€ after microsoft showed the surface 6. Didn't regret a thing. i7, 32GB RAM and 512 GB nvme SSD. And TWO type-c ports with an additional type-a port!!
Oh also, it's upgradeable. So if something goes bad I can open the thing without destroying the tablet
If the pro 7 has a thunderbolt 3 port, i'll try to save up to get it.
the matte black is not new, they just returned it again after its last appearance on surface pro 2
How does it not have USBC
Even if it includes it is not TB3, so?
Review the HP Spectre Folio
I want to! I'll try and get my hands on one
Can it do some light gaming like playing league?
The only problem with it is the limitation of apps.
Anyone know if they've fixed the bulging/separating screen issue on earlier models of the Surface Pro?
I love how he talks about it not picking up fingerprints and then it's all covered in prints at 0:50 :D
They are finger marks on the type cover, not fingerprints on the actual device
Wait, so there's no Headphone jack?
What happened to the headphone jack on the left? It magically disappeared like the iPhones? My surface pro 6 still has it.
I think the design is refined not stale. It's perfected and I love it. I own the SP3 and it's amazing. They just need to add that TB3 in there and include the pen. If they do that they have the perfect 2 in 1 device IMO.
Another great debate rested . Great job in the editing dept
Where is your weird face expression at the end?That was funny.
My wife said she’d divorce if I do it again so I’m going to do it again
@@MatthewMoniz I dare you.Hahaha.
Definitely you are one of the funniest youtubers out there.
The 10 hour battery life is a bold claim. I had my SP6 running on the Best Battery Life option and had basic chrome tabs like TH-cam, Google Docs, gmail etc and it lasted 7 hours until it needed to charge. Otherwise great video man
thanks for the review. one thing though, if you care to look at the high budged side of the market you would find that a 1080p camera is actually common place and it has been for over a year, that been said judging a camera by its resolution is uneducated at best, you have to look at the actual lens model to have an idea of the picture quality, the amount of pixels only tell you the size of the file, not the fidelity of what it captures. one thing I would like to ask is why do so many reviewers insist on wanting thunderbolt 3 in this product? I can see why anyone would want their brand new top of the line fancy computer to have all of the best across the board, ports included, but seriously, how could this form factor realistically benefit from thunderbolt 3? as any thin and light this comes equipped with a U series processor, it doesn't matter if you have a quadro on that external gpu case, there is so much you can do with that bottleneck, so if you want to use it for gaming and an external display you will be chocked by your CPU when it comes to calculating the actual physics, plus as amazing as 40 gb/s sound if you plan to use it for video editing or simulations then it gets halved because the processed data has to come back through the same port, the most realistic use for it would be for connecting to external storage either directly or by Ethernet adapter, but again what would you plan to use this tablet for that would make your files SO large you would need to storage them externally? if you need a 40gb newtork to transfer your workfiles then you shouldn't be working on them in a 16 GB (tops) RAM U series procesor PC, buy a workstation. don't get me wrong I believe the surface Pro is a great product, just not one aimed at gamers or video editors, its one of a kind touch display makes it perfect for non-motion picture artists and the real affluent professionals that don't require rendering (managers, doctors, etc) yet want the best performing tablet money can buy
Battery life on my Surface Pro 2017 was awful
Very professional video, intro and review ... I like !
The only thing i dislike about mine (5th gen) and that isn't being addressed, is the pen. Sometimes it works great, other times the accuracy is way off, and writing is close to impossible.
But is it worth the price though? I still have the pro 4 not sure if i should upgrade.
Great review Matt.
Those thick bezels though.... Honestly, it would be a great machine if they put USB-C on this device. If you're spending so much on a laptop, you want it to be somewhat future-proof.
I'm a simple man, I see Panic!, I like. Nice review
Isn't there an adapter for usb-c and thunderbolt 3, that you can just connect to the Microsoft Surface Pro 6? And that would fix the problem of it not coming with thunderbolt 3 & usb-c?
Hope someone can comment and explain further, I've not much information about it ..
Can you please make a review about the HP Spectre x360 15 (late 2018)?
4:03 That's some impressive heat distribution
hey, just a little note, the matt black is not new on surface, check surface rt, mines is matt black allright.
one of the best reviews i've seen, thank you
You’re very welcome !!
Hey Matthey, have you noticed some kind of lags or another issues like that, during hard use? Thanks for answer, I'm deciding between this and iPad pro.
Really awesome video Matt! Great review
Thanks man !
Have used it for last 3 weeks and its amazing can handle anything throw at it, obv nothing amazing gaming wise but games like league and cs go max settings and silent as it has no fans. speakers and screen so crisp to. this over the ipad any day
i have surface pro 4 and speakers are surprisingly good
It is the best. unlike the ipad pro I have, which is just an output entertainment device, this is both input and output, a portable work device.
I’m a total Apple Person but I need to upgrade my 2017 IPad Pro and honestly debating switching. iOS is so limited still.
..................................eh I don't see it
alstonmiller212 Don’t see what?
Ive had both the surface pro 6 and the thinkpad x1 tablet 3rd gen, and i ended up keeping the thinkpad x1 tablet. Personal preference though, couldnt say which one is better tbh
I'm using a SP4, is the 6 worth the upgrade?
Is there any chance to make the device fit for games? By anyway?
Does the new black color paint scratch and Peel like when the 6 first came out
Are you the guy from The Handmaid's Tale ？THE COMMANDER！
May i know which is better, this or hp envy x360?
Is the Matte Black Surface Pro 6 the Black Panther of 2-in-1's? Great video.
Hello I want to ask what would you recommend me to buy “hp spectre folio” or “surface” and please take in consideration I’m medical student and I am using for approximately 5-10 hours a day ...
Thank you all ...
Hi, it really depends on how you use your laptop. If you want more portable factor with more performance go for surface pro
Cons:- Lack of USB C. As well keyboard feels a bit bad as compared to folio due to cover nature
If you want a a good design as well as USB C. Go for folio. It also offers using of trackpad while using touch like iPad .
Cons:- Less performance, a bit heavy.
I guess I would go with surface pro 6 assuming price of accessories are no probs for ya.
Just a bit of advice. If you don't want all that tablet portability and less weight. Go with Spectre 360 or surface book or pavillion. Way much selection of ports as well as specs. Worth much value than folio
huzaifa imran thank you so much for help bro this is really was helpful 🌷
A working USB A is better than a useless USB C of ipad Pro that cannot connect to a storage device.
A thunderbolt 3 would allow users to run an eGPU on it. That's infinitely more superior than an usb a.
@@hello_b keep it short: we want both!
The iPad is primarily a consumption device. This is a real computer. The iPad can't even open zip files out of the box.
@@hello_b Again, talking about USB-C, not with TB3. iPad Pro is useless if it can't even connect to a storage device.
all fixed in the iPad OS update
Is it great for illustration like better than the ipad pro?
Just bought a Surface Pro 6. Thanks for the in-depth review - now I feel much better about my investment! 3:42 answered the exact question I came here with.
What would you say? I have a stationary PC, waiting for my Blade 15 at the moment but thinking about getting a Surface (maybe refurbished 2017 one) as sort of an iPad Pro equivalent (I´m a designer, so doing photoshop rendererings on the go (and watching movies etc.) with a compact device like this seems like a good idea to me instead of using the big Blade (main device) and a Wacom graphics tablet (which I´d use at home/anywhere I have enough space for those). Would you recommend getting this or maybe a used 2017 one (maybe i5, 8GB RAM) for these kinds of scenarios? (looking at about €700-800 for the refurbished device) or should I maybe get a Surface Go or something else in that category?
Is this okay for programming? I have an hp envy and was going to upgrade to the spectre but I heard that the spectre has horrible build quality and that overall hp is trash. So i want the sp6 cz its light but os it good for programming.
Its great for programming just it cant handle graphics that well if you go in depth. I bought it and I have zero regrets
@@sneezygibz6403 forgot to switch accounts?
Plz let me know should I get this the surface pro 6 or the mate book x pro 2018 ??? Thx
The only thing missing from this video. Showing as just as the tablet itself without the keyboard. I wish I would have seen that?
it's a great laptop until it gets the blurry and flickering screen after warranty!! Then Microsoft tells you that you have to purchase another one... I don't think I'll buy another Microsoft surface pro until they are able to send a fix for that blurry/flickering issue for my surface pro 4
That is how warranty works you know lol.... After your warranty is up no company will fix or replace your product for free. That's the purpose of the warranty.
How long does it take for it charge fully?
Pen has 4096 levels of pressure, great for artists and students
My complaints are: USB-c/Thunderbolt and more important windows apps not adapted to the tablet experience at all, which makes the convertibility close to useless (and I know it firsthand)
How long does the battery last? Really?
No USB-C is a big let down. Even Surface Go has it ...
Ye because everyone needs it lmao
@@davidkern7636 Im charging my 2 year old budget thinkpad with the same cable that I charge my LG G5. This is the future old man xD
@@ashrust8911 No its better to have useless surface connector lol.
@@ashrust8911 Almost everything can be plugged, except thunderbolt and all the accesories for your phone like HDMI, ethernet and other dongles.
@@ashrust8911 USBC to HMDI cables are everwhere. The best thing is to get powered multi-dongle. Old USB can't use thunderbolt. I'm now moving all my devices to usb-c standard and its super refreshing to use one cable for everything (USBa ->USB C converter costs 50cents btw). I know I'd rather have real porta on my laptop (thats why I have thinkpad with legacy ports) but since manufacturers are so adamant that USBA is too thick then usb-c is a must. Not to mention that you get fucking useless mini DP there. I mean who uses mini DP??
I don't recall if i posed this question before, any way I decided to replace my Latitude with surface. My core job in developing scientific programs such GAMS(algebraic mathematical modelling) and python. To ride off small LCD definitely i will connect external display. The question is whether this machine is capable for long run semi heavy rendering and long time tasks. Any recommendation? Thanks
Is this one better for tattoo artist then the iPad and pro create
Hey! I have Legion Y530, I wanna just confirm is little bit of screen bleed is ok? Your Y530 had some ? I see it only when in Dark and full brightness.
I wonder if the surface connect port can be theoretically used for external GPUs since we already know the port transfers information for multiple usb ports and displays and also power enough to charge the device when using the surface dock 🤔🤔
It has good bandwidth but still falls short compared to USB type c
Why are there no third party keyboards?
It's just that if you get a case it's quite heavy. That thing is fragile if it drops. I do think they can and should try for thin bazzel. Or smaller with thin bazzel. Maybe asking to much. But I do hope someday it's light enough and still be a powerful laptop. Currently if I lay on a couch to read or watch videos , the ipad is in fact a lot lighter
