The i7, 32gb mem, 1tb storage model is a beast. Mine stays plugged in as I use it as a desktop with the docking station and an external monitor. Fantastic device. I upgraded from an old Model 5 because I have needed to use Bluebeam and it works quite well.
I guess this video was shot before the Surface pro 10 for businness was announced. Anyway personally I am looking forward to the consumer version with Elite X chips. I just hope MS is not going to price the 16GB and 32GB RAM version insanely. The thing I am waiting for even more is a smaller Surface pro 11 with 11" (rumored for 2025-2026) to replace my Surface go 2 M3.
At 15:26, you said, "The fact that I open up a web browser, and tap in a text field, and the onscreen keyboard still doesn't pop up even in tablet mode, which doesn't exist anymore. That keyboard doesn't pop up, so that tablet experience still sucks." What? What web browser? Not, MS Edge, right? If you are doing that in MS Edge, then either: (1) your touch settings are wrong, or (2) Windows 11 is goofed up, and you need to fix it by starting the MS Setting app. Yeah, (2) is a trick, that is easier than signing out and signing back in again or rebooting your Surface. But you don't even have to wait for the Settings app to get started, just immediately minimize it, and your pop-up touch keyboard will be working again. Hey, I thought you were a Surface fan, so you need to learn these tricks! I use my Surface Go w/o a hardware keyboard all the time, so if that trick didn't work, then I definitely couldn't do that. One other thing to check is that you didn't select "Never" for the setting on when to show your touch keyboard. I choose "Always", since I don't attach a hardware keyboard, but another option that should work is "When no keyboard is attached". This might have been your trouble. Two other good tricks under "System tray icons" in Settings are to set "Show touch keyboard icon" to "Always" and set "Always show virtual touchpad icon" to "On". Yeah, I know, the first one sounds like my touch keyboard wasn't popping up like I claimed it was above, but I think one just needs this in weird non-MS apps, that aren't communicating with Windows 11 correctly. The "Virtual Touchpad" helps in rare situations, like dealing with the new version of MS Outlook, which is a web app, so its works around temporary touch-related limitations in that app or in other rare situations, when you want to copy and paste text via touch inside MS Outlook. Yeah, that needs to be fixed, but this gets you by for now. Does it suck? No, it is hard to use, and it does need a few important fixes before that big consumer Surface launch in May, but it does, in fact, work. And, especially, what you said on the web browser not popping up the onscreen keyboard (at least inside MS Edge) is simply not true, if you do the things above. I can't speak for Chrome or Firefox or other browsers though, since I don't use these.
Thank you so much for the review! I’m still torn but I am mentally debating the 7 vs 9, for price only. Using it for Real Estate CRMs and emails mostly, so it is an investment for business but I am not creating content or running large software.
If you want to use you Surface Pro for typing only, then the Pro 7 would be enough. But if you want to use it as a tablet as well I would recommend the Pro 9 with 32 GB of RAM. I live in germany and even here when you but it used it costs about 1600 €. So in the States it`s probably a friction of that price, even when getting the Pro 9 with 32 GB of RAM.
I want to buy an sf9 in 2024 for my light video editing needs, is this device still relevant? is the device hot and noisy? give me a review of your daily use, thank you.
Very good a accurate video. I filly agree Microsoft hasn't tailored windows for tablets. I'd love a much more design consistent, a smoother e OS, although I have to say Microsoft has improved over the years. I love using windows and I feel I am faster and more productive with it.
The most useless device i have ever bought . It is heavy like hell to use as a tablet. Plus not tailored windows .for tablet . Not practical to use as a laptop . So dont buy this shit ever

I'd love to see an in depth review of the surface 10 pro and it's capabilities for students
I plan on it with the consumer model comes out, right now they've just announced the business model

I might buy the Surface pro 9 at a discounted price now that the Surface pro 10 is coming out.
Not a bad idea

@@Verschiedenesthank you so much for answering!
Thanks for the 1-year later review. I've been looking for the intel version and found only your review. Appreciate it immensely.
I want to buy an sf9 in 2024 for my light video editing needs, is this device still relevant? is the device hot and noisy? give me a review of your daily use, thank you.
I haven’t even watched all of this, only 1 second but just wanted to say I appreciate your good work and was waiting for this! Thank you. 👍🏾
Thank you!!
Why can't they just put everything in the surface x form factor with modern ports. Been waiting years now. Apple has taken over the portable space.
What ports would you want? The pro x is only slightly thinner than the pro 9
I have not heard of "micro OLED." Does it exist?
I might have combined Micro LED and OLED
@@innoisoThe Dell Latitude 9440 doesn't have a micro screen, not even mini, and it is not OLED.
I had the surface pro 8 with LTE. I chose the i5 model for better battery life, but gave up on it when it only got two hours on one note. On Wi-Fi.

Nice! I think you and I are on the same page!
Sounds like you should have got the 32gb ram option... it's does all the things your complaining about.
The 32GB RAM option was $2700 when I bought this. And it does not solve my "complaints" about the ports, the display, or gaming.
Didn't even know there was an Intel version
Happy to remind you!
3.5 mm jak output?
Nope
This is the ONLY useful tablet for any students out there. It`s a very capable 2 in 1. Especially when you have the 32 gb ram version.
Too much talk. Less show.
The most useless device i have ever bought . It is heavy like hell to use as a tablet. Plus not tailored windows .for tablet . Not practical to use as a laptop . So dont buy this shit ever
