It isn't. The pen experience on any and all surface products == abysmal. Too much line jitter. If you're looking for the Pro aspect of either a Surface or an iPad, the Surface is not for you.
It probably is. While the Qualcomm chip limits compatibility with some programs, it should still have much more professional software available for it. The iPad pro is good just for 120hz display and nothing else. Also the statements regarding the surface pen given by another commenter is a straight out lie as I've seen used it before and it is definitely better than apple pencil.
Ive been using my Surface Pro 4 and it still holds up fine today. I use it as my main PC. I'm a professional videographer/graphic designer and music producer on the side and its able to handle all of that no problem. I use a $10 bluetooth keyboard that works much better than the keyboard they sell with it. Also use a $10 bluetooth mouse. (make sure its bluetooth and NOT wireless) It sits on my desk and I have it connected to 2 external monitors so Im not looking at the tiny screen. Half the time I forget its the surface for me its just my regular computer. Then when i want to go to someones studio for music or take it with me on my shoots its just grab and go. Ive dropped mine several times with no protection and there was no damage. I can only Imagine the Pro X would be what I've experienced only better.

That looks like the perfect device for students. I would have loved to use some of those features for taking notes and shit, would have made life so much easier.
I sold mine MacBook Air a while ago. Bought Surface Pro 6 and I love it! It'a perfect for taking notes prepare for exams etc. I highly recommend it to everyone who uses it for educational purposes.
I bought this device for review on my channel. I love the thing, the design is stunning. *But the app selection is just soooo bad right now because no real apps are designed for ARM processors yet.*
I'm not a tech person but I genuinely enjoyed watching several of your unboxing videos. You are so much more interesting to watch than 95% of the tech reviewers- you speak in a language I can still understand. Love your energy! ❤️
I'm so sad to see Microsoft nailing the device specs-wise but failing to address the real issues since the start. The alcantara wears after sometime and starts looking pathetic. The OS still isn't optimized for touch (running youtube is a pain), the app store is still trash and the "2-in-1 device" form factor is more of a hassle than a ground breaking step. Been using the Surface pro 4 for 3 years now and i'm finally moving to a macbook soon. (have to say the build quality of the device itself is great, the pen concept is very intuitive and the hinge in indeed extraordinary)
Dude Microsoft Store sucks and do not forget that this is a laptop. Not a tab or iPad. a laptop. You're supposed to download stuff from Chrome not store shit
If your a univeristy/college student I cannot reccomend this enough. Having all your notes from all years organsied and avaliable to you at all times with OneNote? Its great.
@@ThePainWhisperer wtf are you saying? What are you gonna do with that supposed 'extra power' with pados? Windows 10 is a much more suitable os for all aspects of a laptop
Unbox Therapy, I am a long term user of surface products. I just wanted to say that probably the best typing experience comes when the keyboard is not flat, but rather slightly up, attached to the computer magnetically. This way, it is a very pleasant typing experience, in my opinion, much better then most of the laptops.
@@chrisnj2000 basically 64bit apps don't run on it, and 32bit apps written for x86 processor are emulated, so they are slow. Only ARM processor optimised apps run well, but that won't be your Adobe suite anytime soon, besides Fresco maybe.
@@sloppynyuszi basically what this means is that I can't install Chrome Browser and Dropbox on the Surface Pro X? And even if I do, they'll be slow because they're emulated?
I've got to say it. The lenovo L380 yoga is about the same dimentions, has an internally stored and charged pen, and can be used as a laptop without using a board to hold up the kickstand to keep it from falling over on your lap
I've been using the Microsoft Surface Pro since 2015, and I'm still happy with it. I used it as my work "laptop" for college and It out-performed my Macbook Pro 2012 that I was using previously for school work.
As an artist and designer I love the surface pros. The only issue I have is that any artist that does any real work on these things, is going to have *to rest their drawing hand on the screen* . *The problem? The hinge on the stand of ALL surface pros, can't take the weight of your hand resting on the surface while you draw, and it forcibly leans all the way down (which is actually really uncomfortable for drawing)* How Microsoft hasn't fixed this obvious problem, present since practically the invention of Surface Pros, is beyond me. If you have a Surface Pro, your best bet is buying a third party case, that's how I fixed this problem. I found a case that has it's own stand, and can support my hand and wrist while I draw on the tablet at a comfortable angle.
At least it prevents it from flexing. But for any serious productivity this thing just ain't it. Professionals are way better off buying a ThinkPad T series laptop or something similar. I owned a hybrid once (Asus Transformer) and ended up using it as a laptop only which it basically sucked at. That was the first and last hybrid I will ever own.
i love your video man it has somehow the vibe of if we were discussing around a pint in a pub and also you bring really professionnal point during your test and unboxings really cool =D
I bought the Pro 6 Surface in Feb and I love it. Powerful, quick and its small and light. Perfect for taking to meeting's etc. I believe Microsoft are doing trade in's if you want to move to the Surface X too.
Man, I love this! I hope ARM chips and the fidelity of mobile chip technology get in the windows PC business real quick. I am frustrated with the high power consumption and massive heating issues of traditional laptops.
after you checked the speakers your voice felt softer than the speakers and i had to turn up the volume because of the difference, nice speakers for a tablet/lapton😳. i loved the review and overall a very great upgrade to previous surfaces
The hardware is good... The software support is total garbage. It uses emulation to run 32 bit programs. 64 bit programs don't run at all. It has only a tiny handful of programs that run natively on ARM.
