Justin Tse Hey Justin , hey community, I´m looking for a beginner camera: I can´t decide between the GX 80 und the A6000. I mainly photograph a DJ in action. Landscapes und Portraits are secondary. Thank you for your help
I really hate that several youtubers are campaigning for the removal of the Surface connect magnetic charging port. This is one of the BEST features of the Surface! I hate charging ports that have Dingalings that plug into a device for charging because they are prone to failure and subject to break your device. I have too many friends who have broken phones and laptops that don’t work because they yanked them off tables because of the charging cable. Which is why I think Microsoft would be so stupid to get rid of the magnetic charging port! I would never buy it if they did.
Holy shit, you don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this video, thanks Justin, your the best. (I don’t know how I didn’t get a notification for this!)
For its size, the bezels dont bother me as much as it makes holding the device way more convenient. I've used the surface pro however and I admit, for a device that small, the bezels should be smaller. However, for this, I believe the benefits of it might be better in the long run of usability. You dont hold the screen for laptops like the dell xps 15 or the lg gram so its not an apples to apples comparison.
Loved my original surfacebook....the things are super cool. I ended up returning it for something cheaper at the time, because I couldn't justify the price once I got home. I probably won't ever buy another surface product sadly, because microsoft WAY overpriced them. They're still super sweet though.
Well the prices have certainly dropped. The 1TB version costs the same now as the 512gb version was half a year ago and same goes for the 512gb costing just as much as how much I paid for the 256gb model when the laptop came out
When I was in college, I wished I had something like this especially in economics with all those different graphs. Though, I could always go back. Haha Keep up the good work, Justin!
Microsoft has done great job at hinge area something different and seems more durable than normal hinge 😍 Background music nailed it, once again amazing review great bro.
I don't know why everyone is complaining about the proprietary charging port alias Surface Connect. 1. You can charge the Surface Book with the Surface Connect and the USB C 2. If they would remove this port, all the accessories for this port wouldn't work anymore, but some people are having this accessories for e.g. a Surface and are happy, that they can use it on this thing, too.
Absolutely not. The Air and MacBook can barely compare with specs of the lowest end Surface Laptop and Pro, not to mention the Air does not have pen support or touch which are amazing for students. Can you write/draw notes and mark up all your digital documents on a MacBook Air? No.
I don't understand your complaint about the charger: You CAN use the USB-C port for charging. You don't need to use the proprietary charging port. The proprietary charging port is still there to have the 'mag-safe', and for connecting the Microsoft Surface docking station. So actually now you have the best of both worlds.
I will wait for SurfaceBook 3 hopefully it will have a thunderbolt. My reason being. I want a 13-13.5 inch laptop but wanna play games so will buy an external gpu
You have a GTX 1050. That's enough to play games, unless you want high details in native resolution. Or check out the 15 inch model, it has a freaking 1060 inside of it (roughly double the performance). It's not certain whether Microsoft would ever support Thunderbolt 3, as that would be the automatic death of any Surface Connect products like the Surface Dock.
Yes same! I’m an engineering student and I was looking at an iPad (for notability) but I need a more powerful computer and windows in order to run some of the programs I need for labs and programming etc... I was even considering going for an iPad then just building a desktop for gaming mostly but yes if they include the thunderbolt 3 I could have a gaming computer with even more power that I can also use for school! Really looking foreword to the surface book 3!
Finally someone who didn't fucked a review up in comparing it to much to Apple's devices! ... I love how you did the Review! Wish the other Tech TH-camrs would review like you do! Great Stuff man!
I'm about to sell my Google Pixelbook and get me the Surface Book 2. I'm sad about leaving the Chromebook ecosystem but I have always had to find work arounds to work with other students and co workers because they use Mac or Windows smh...but I'm looking forward to learning my way around the laptop. I also have a Google Pixel 2 XL for a phone
I just ordered my surface book 2 13.5" and am currently trying to find all my accessories. I want to confirm that the Herschel sleeves for macbook books are compatible with the device
If you would like something a little more secure for your expensive device, I would suggest the THULE Gauntlet line. The ones made for macbooks fit the surface books fine and I dont have to worry about weight on my laptop
Gepo de Mesa Thank you so much! I’ve always had a cheap $250 P.C. computer until now so never considered these kinds of accessories. I’d been debating between the MBP or MBA but landed on getting the Surface Book 2. I’m so happy with my decision but have found it is much harder to find any advice on accessories for the Surface Book. I’ll check it out for sure!
Thank you so much for that review. I will be getting that laptop, after seeing it in the electronics department. What is the name of that music you played at the beginning of the video, it is really good.
I stepped on that hinge. I weight 180. Didn't press my whole wait I jumped off when I realized I was stepping on my computer. Point is, the hinge is not and has never been a durability issue.
Very nice video and informative... But you did spend quite some time talking about Nordon Vpn i understand they're the sponsors but you should have made a bit shorter while talking about the vpn all in all great video quality keep up 👍
I think if Microsoft changed the form-factor from this to a regular laptop with a 360 degree hinge it would solve the biggest problems: the gap, the top-heaviness, and the display wobble. (Currently have the Surface Pro 4 and as an engineering student cannot imagine going back to pen and paper.)
I think you didn't get my point: If Microsoft changed the hinge to a 360 degree hinge, all the components could be in the base (like a regular laptop), eliminating the issue of the device being top-heavy.
I actually like the gap.....and don't really have much problems with display wobble because when i use the touchscreen i usually have the device in my hands or oriented in a way that the screen can't wobble anyways. And if not i'm using a pen where the display wobble isn't even noticeable.
Can you still hook this computer up to the TV monitor? I don't see an HDMI port. Considering buying this for 3D modelling and rendering from an architecture and interior design standpoint. Might be good for bringing the tablet around when going out in the field to take measurements or drawing up as-builts and such. Also, I would like to say that your video quality is amazing. Well thought-out in your video editing and shots, really nice work.
@Sai Rahul Kankipati i'd honestly say it depends. Here you can currently get the i7 with 8GB RAM, 256GB of Storage for around 1490€ (without Type cover). Add to that the type cover for 110€ and you're at 1600€ for the Surface Pro. Now if you take the Surface Book 2 with 8GB RAM, 256GB of Storage and the newer 8th Generation i7 you can get it for 1900€. (All those are Amazon prices mind you) But for those 300€ more you also get a dedicated GPU (GTX1050), a larger screen, one of the best Keyboards for 2in1s out there and a way longer battery life. So honestly i'd say it depends on what you want to do and which configuration you want to get because the highest Surface Pro configurations are a bit cheaper but have older hardware (7th Generation CPUs instead of the 8th Generation in the Surface Book 2), less ports and are slightly smaller. Which in my eyes makes the i7 Surface Pro not as good as a value option. If you are fine with an i5 and put more value on portability and don't use your device all day long the Surface Pro is a great choice. If you plan on getting an i7, do more demanding tasks like programming or video editing and plan on using the device even after a long workday on your way home in the bus or on the train i'd say the Surface Book 2 is a better bang for the buck. And yes, i got the Surface Book 2 precisely because of its longer battery life and because of the newer CPU and so far didn't regret it.
Great review Justin! Isn't the USB-C port on the side certified for both charging and display output, so it can actually be used to charge the surface book 2? Shame that it's not thunderbolt 3 though, but with so much power under the hood anyways, it's not a big loss in my opinion.
No tb3 is what kills it for me. No way I can ditch my 2016mbp when I have a gtx1080ti plugged to to top right and a tb3 dock plugged to the bottom right.
USB type C can’t handle the power requirements of the 15 inch Surface Book 2. With that in mind, it wouldn’t make much sense to include a USB type C charger on the 13 inch.
I like my surface book 2 but it's not been the fastest computer in the whole world. Not sure if it's windows or just the laptop? Tried everything so hopefully they fix it. It also makes hissing noises when plugging in something with a usb and if you turn the brightness up on the keyboard.
Hey can you make a review video on the microsoft surface pro. I got one and i still have 2 months left to return it. Also if you did read this this was i nice and chill vid keeo up the work.
Couple more videos coming up soon before I head to Orlando.

Justin Tse , Can u plz review the new LG gram if you can...
Hi justin im from Mexico ur vids r awesome!!! By the way im ur subscriber. I need ur help i need to know the name of the song of ur edc vid. Thanx!!!
No I will not protect myself

Exactly
People People pretty much
I completely agree
Folks complained when Mag-Safe went away, but for some reason want the Connect to go. 🙃
Yeah , It's a unique feature of Microsoft Surface book 2
Its Magnesium not Aluminium
That dude's room is more shinning than the laptop .. masha'allah
Holy shit, you don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this video, thanks Justin, your the best. (I don’t know how I didn’t get a notification for this!)
You deserve way more subscribers. Just 5 secs in and the cinematography and shot planning is out of this world. Nice Job!
When he gives you an amazing review on one of the computer's that you've had your eye on for a while AND he's cute. ;) :)
a student, but a f*cking rich student...
ever heard of jobs
Saw it in person and the 15 inch is huuuuge. Really no excuse to not build minimal bezels as it's as wide as a truck.
For its size, the bezels dont bother me as much as it makes holding the device way more convenient. I've used the surface pro however and I admit, for a device that small, the bezels should be smaller. However, for this, I believe the benefits of it might be better in the long run of usability. You dont hold the screen for laptops like the dell xps 15 or the lg gram so its not an apples to apples comparison.
I have got the 15 inch version, and I loveeeee it, just amazing, not perfect but lovely 😍
Nice aesthetic, good review, dropped a like
It is magnesium and not aluminium btw.
True, and magnesium is more expensive than aluminium.
And stronger, luckily :)
the surface port is great, magnetic ports are really hard to get on laptops nowadays, but if you don't like it just charge via the usb c
Loved my original surfacebook....the things are super cool. I ended up returning it for something cheaper at the time, because I couldn't justify the price once I got home. I probably won't ever buy another surface product sadly, because microsoft WAY overpriced them. They're still super sweet though.
I really hope this goes on sale on Black Friday!!
By like 2000 dollars 'cause its so expensive!
Well the prices have certainly dropped. The 1TB version costs the same now as the 512gb version was half a year ago and same goes for the 512gb costing just as much as how much I paid for the 256gb model when the laptop came out

dude i love this computer on my lap because it doesnt get hot!
I'm starting college this fall, so please keep the student related videos comming!
Your cinematography just keeps on getting better! Awesome work!
You should do a comparison against the Mac book air to see what is the best for students
Jonathan OQuinn This is for us professional not for students
Macbook Air competes with Surface Laptop
Absolutely not. The Air and MacBook can barely compare with specs of the lowest end Surface Laptop and Pro, not to mention the Air does not have pen support or touch which are amazing for students. Can you write/draw notes and mark up all your digital documents on a MacBook Air? No.
Great video Justin! I think I’m gonna go with this laptop!! Thanks for reviewing it! 😊🤟🏼
I've got to say, ur thumbnails are impossible to resist!
I see you're heading to Orlando. I live here and hate it. Try to enjoy the warm weather while you're here :)
I don't understand your complaint about the charger: You CAN use the USB-C port for charging. You don't need to use the proprietary charging port. The proprietary charging port is still there to have the 'mag-safe', and for connecting the Microsoft Surface docking station.
So actually now you have the best of both worlds.
oh wow, thanks! Il look into that
It tried using my MacBook charger and it wouldn’t take a charge.
Guessing your MacBook charger is too smaller wattage. I have used an aftermarket charger but shut down to charge and it works fast.
A kickstand and Thunderbolt USB-C (they can have a magnetic USB-C connector for charging) should be included in the next version.
I will wait for SurfaceBook 3 hopefully it will have a thunderbolt.
My reason being.
I want a 13-13.5 inch laptop but wanna play games so will buy an external gpu
You have a GTX 1050.
That's enough to play games, unless you want high details in native resolution.
Or check out the 15 inch model, it has a freaking 1060 inside of it (roughly double the performance).

Yes same!

I was even considering going for an iPad then just building a desktop for gaming mostly but yes if they include the thunderbolt 3 I could have a gaming computer with even more power that I can also use for school! Really looking foreword to the surface book 3!
Justin, fantastic review!
Your videos are always made so well. PERFECT VIDEO WORK!
enjoyed your video dude! Keep up the good work!
Nice video and review, subscribed.
Great work Justin
Listening from a Surfacebook Speaker onto a Surfacebook itself. R.I.P Avicii Loved your great songs.
Finally someone who didn't fucked a review up in comparing it to much to Apple's devices! ... I love how you did the Review! Wish the other Tech TH-camrs would review like you do! Great Stuff man!
Omg why dont you have 1m subs yet? Great Quality, Subbed.
Really appreciate the aesthetics of your office. I love that grey wall, do you remember the name of the colour?
I’d love to see an HDMI Port
RIP Avicii 😭
Paul Karakalidis fuck him
what is wrong with you
Free movies Hdtv edgy kid lol
Paul Karakalidis im sry if I offend u in any manner, but who or what is Avicii?
Nadeem Shaikh avicii is a music artist. He’s made some really famous songs such as wake me up and waiting for love
The editing🔥🔥
Great Vid Justin, (As Always) Keep up the Great Work:)
Loved the review!
I'm a student at the Suriname College of Hospitality and Tourism 🙌 they look so dope !!
I'm about to sell my Google Pixelbook and get me the Surface Book 2. I'm sad about leaving the Chromebook ecosystem but I have always had to find work arounds to work with other students and co workers because they use Mac or Windows smh...but I'm looking forward to learning my way around the laptop. I also have a Google Pixel 2 XL for a phone
sick video quality keep it up Bro!!!
I just ordered my surface book 2 13.5" and am currently trying to find all my accessories. I want to confirm that the Herschel sleeves for macbook books are compatible with the device

@@sydneyfrench95 no problem!
So much grey and white for my eyes and I'm loving it😍😍😍btw yes i want more students related videos.
This was a good view for me as a student
The material is a Magnesium alloy not Aluminium which is harder to scratch than Aluminium.
Awesome intro!
This device can actually be charged from USB-C port too, if you have a compatible charger for it.
I love your videos!! Also, what are you studying at uni?
best
laptop
ever
this beats macbook finally
Thank you so much for that review. I will be getting that laptop, after seeing it in the electronics department. What is the name of that music you played at the beginning of the video, it is really good.
keep the student style reviews coming!
do some videos on school backpack for 2018
I stepped on that hinge. I weight 180. Didn't press my whole wait I jumped off when I realized I was stepping on my computer. Point is, the hinge is not and has never been a durability issue.
That’s Hershel case is eye catching
Very nice video and informative... But you did spend quite some time talking about Nordon Vpn i understand they're the sponsors but you should have made a bit shorter while talking about the vpn all in all great video quality keep up 👍
Damn jealous of those accounting notes. Mine were so bad when I was taking managerial lmfao.
Best laptop for professionals in tech
The SB2 does charge over USB-C, just slower.
Yes my mistake, when I tried it using a MacBook charger it was charging so slow I thought it was not supported!
The MacBook Pro charger is only 87W and that’s why it was charging so slow I guess.
I think if Microsoft changed the form-factor from this to a regular laptop with a 360 degree hinge it would solve the biggest problems: the gap, the top-heaviness, and the display wobble.

The music reminded me of some Peter McKinnon's B roll.
really good video thanks
Sir you my bast hero i love your video sir
The keyboard on this is heaven.
Before I even watch this video, the average student can't afford it.
I did mention that it isn’t for everyone, but in the artistic or computing departments certain types of things demand more power :)
But the surface pro is a better bet.. Its not that expensive
Opticon this isn't for students
Best purchase of my life for school
@Sai Rahul Kankipati i'd honestly say it depends.

You might as well get a xiaomi laptop if you're on a budget. They're in between a surface laptop and a surface book in terms of power.
that intro is clean af
Great review Justin! Isn't the USB-C port on the side certified for both charging and display output, so it can actually be used to charge the surface book 2? Shame that it's not thunderbolt 3 though, but with so much power under the hood anyways, it's not a big loss in my opinion.
Just got a super deal on same spec SB2 👊
It's magnesium not aluminum
Hey Justin, what app did you use in the video to draw the graphs? Thanks.
Some good websites for info to use some good apps
No tb3 is what kills it for me. No way I can ditch my 2016mbp when I have a gtx1080ti plugged to to top right and a tb3 dock plugged to the bottom right.
You can charge through USB-C. You need to buy third-party USB-C power adapter. That's all
Yeah mine was great. Fucked itself and have waited 4 weeks for repair or replace already.
No the 13" isn't geared to the requirements you listed. You can't edit 4k video on there.
the intro music is the same as the one in Peter Mc
USB type C can’t handle the power requirements of the 15 inch Surface Book 2. With that in mind, it wouldn’t make much sense to include a USB type C charger on the 13 inch.
I'd love to see you here at the summit in Orlando, but those tickets are super expensive :(
Justin can you release your Spotify playlist to the public? Would be awesome
it’s an embarrassment haha
Justin Tse nah cmon justin. Mine isn't better. Imbrase it lol
Justin Tse you know that your account is public right? The one with wake up playlist
I was debating between this and the Huawei Matebook X
Went with the Matebook X when it was on sale for $699 on amazon
Hello Justin, is the song you used copyright free? It's so chill
But it does actually do USB C charging. U just have to get you own charger.
hi justin i waant to see a shoes and clothes haul and your present items
Would you consider doing a review on a chromebook... say the best one for the money, and good all rounder?
Yo can you please review the mark ryden backpacks. They look amazing and have a ton of pockets with USB ports too.
but you CAN charge via the usb c...
make a 19 inch version with detachable tablet so I can bludgeon tim cook with this
I like my surface book 2 but it's not been the fastest computer in the whole world. Not sure if it's windows or just the laptop? Tried everything so hopefully they fix it. It also makes hissing noises when plugging in something with a usb and if you turn the brightness up on the keyboard.
The hinge gap is pro because you probably don't get keyboard imprints on your screen.
Here’s a video idea
MUST HAVE TECH FOR UNI
What is the name of the instrumental in the beginning of the video
jaliyah sutton Ganja ooy
Amazing video
More student based vids!
Wouldn't it be better if they replace USB A 2.0 with 3.1 so that both 3.0 and 2.0 can be used with ports!?
Hey can you make a review video on the microsoft surface pro. I got one and i still have 2 months left to return it. Also if you did read this this was i nice and chill vid keeo up the work.
Did you keep it?
If not, why? (currently thinking about buying one myself)
