This checks all the boxes, excellent display, great build and design, good audio, good battery life and great pen support. Throw in an improved type cover and we have a winner. Negatives are, price and lack of USB C port. Microsoft got a lot of it right. What do you think, let me know?
Downsides are definitely 100% correct as well as not a comfortable lap device but it has so many other pros that I'm finally upgrading my 5 year old Surface 64GB RT lol.
Watching this on my Surface Pro 2017. It's really great. However, there is pretty much 0 difference between the signature Alcantara type cover and the regular one.
@@ironman34561 I can confirm that the texture of the regular one is not immune to water, as cleaning it every so often with a damp towel makes the texture skin come loose and peel off. They might have fixed this with the Alcantara one.
Best Buy has this 2017 model i5 with 8gb of ram! with that fancy keyboard on sale now for 799. So you get 4 more gb of ram and free keyboard for that price. I’ll be purchasing that deal from Best Buy within next few days.
Just an update I purchased the bundle on jul. 13th. Like I've mentioned before. Straight up loving the device. It has put my iPad pro 9.7 with pen on back burner. Purchased 7th gen. i5 version with 8gb of ram and 128gb storage with free updated 2017 alcantra keyboard for only 799...799 is not cheap but I saved almost 400 dollars on this deal. Already purchased and installed 128 GB samsung high class microhd card, temp. Glass screen protector, and urban armor gear case. Everything is working great..highly recommend this model of pro that i have!
I want a 2in1 but i use my device with keyboard on my lap often, even in the workplace. I found the Surface Book top heavy making it unbalanced on the lap. The Surface Pro obviously isn't designed to be used on lap with kb. BUT I like the screen dimensions and the proper kb layout of Surface devices. Surface laptop doesn't fold so not an option. Also the surface laptop kb would become marked and dirty after a while. These devices are not cheap. If the SB just folded over with the works in base like Lenovo Yoga then it wouldn't be top heavy. If thinkpad yoga 370 had a 3:2 screen dimension I'd be hysterically happy. Do you have a recommendation please? I've done a fair bit of research but not found anything that matches my ideal. Do I have to compromise? (HP products don't have standard uk keyboard layout and have an annoying row down the right side not to mention a shrunk enter key). Great reviews btw. I've watched several you have done.
I love my Surface Pro 4 (i7, 8gb RAM and 256gb memory) but there is no way I would pay full price for it, even including the discount they have at the moment. Ridiculously overpriced. I got mine second hand for £660 and it included a blue type cover and surface pen. Microsoft need to seriously stop blowing smoke and charging stupid Apple prices.
i got my surface pro i5 8gb 128 inc typecover for 850 euro. new from microsoft the fact that you got the i7 model proofs you have no clue. what you should have gotten is my model inc a 400gb micro sd card and a small fan to stop throttling. i7 is pointless on this model
the review is real great I really appreciate it but i really want to know if the i5 core 128GB 4 gb ram can support multitasking like photoshop and edit videos at thw same time is it going to be ok
If you stick with the eight gigs in ram instead your computer will run wayyy faster, I mean I went from a 4gb desktop to a Microsft Surface Laptop 256gb Eight gb ram i5 and I can really tell the diffrence.
Another quality video 👌 How do you stack it against the Yoga 720? I purchased that laptop a couple of weeks back for 699 from BestBuy and it does everything the Spectre x360 can, on paper they have the same power and its way powerful than the surface pro (SSD, USB c charging, higher CPU and RAM) Would you recommend it over the surface or spectre? Just curious to know your thoughts
Great but price is too expensive unless you are an artist. If not look at the Acer Alpha Switch, HP Spectre x2 or Dell 5285, all almost as good for a lot less. Just MY opinion
Great review! I haven't been interested in the Surface Pro's until the Go was announced recently. I like the small build because I do not need big performance on a tablet but portability (and having USB-C is a big plus). Will you be reviewing this as well? What are your early thoughts so far?
I have one on preorder and I am looking forward to testing it when it arrives. I went with the 8GB/128 GB model, as the entry level only has eMMc storage.
another excellent review.. surface devices=premium hw. I was debating on getting 4 and or 8GB model but for productivity use.. browsing.. email.. the base model is fine.. I bought the surface laptop for 2 reasons. bigger display and large precision trackpad
Hey thanks for this! How's the lapability? I know it is not the ideal situation, but sometimes I do use the MacBook Pro on my lap so wondering how the surface pro feels? I am on the market for a light, easy to travel device I can take to meetings and business trips. I do take plenty of notes so touch screen mandatory. Thinking either surface book 2 or this guy, but the book sounds more like a heavy laptop and for that I already have the MacBook ;) Let me know about lapability please! Thanks
The Surface Pro is more portable than the Surface Book as it is lighter. That being said, I really like the Surface Book, both the 13 and 15-in versions. Of course if budget is a concern, the Surface Pro is a somewhat more affordable option depending on which model you choose of course. It really comes down to personal preference. I personally like the Surface Book 2 15-in. But that is an expensive option for sure and it is heavier as well than the Surface Pro.
Andrew Marc David well in both scenarios I would buy i5 and 8RAM - It just makes sense to me so money wise they are no too apart. 15 inches book 2 eems to big for me. I already have a MacBook so maybe the surface pro fits me better since I want portability and lightness? Book 2 looks amazing but maybe it is simply too much of a computer I really don't know what to do :)
It sounds like the Surface Pro is your best bet as it offers you nice blend of portability and power. But keep in mind, the Surface Pro is a tablet first and laptop second and the Surface Book is a laptop first and Tablet Second. So, if you think you will be using it in tablet mode more than laptop then get the Surface Pro. If you will use in your lap more and a laptop then get the Surface Book.
Can never be the best and short changing the tech community no pen nor keyboard nor type C smh , its a ok product but the Eve tablet and Hp X2 puts it in the shade
Hi Andrew, thanks for the review which is in my opinion more informative than most of the others I watched to get an impression of the Surface Pro i5. Well done with the right depth of information :]
Hi thanks, how is the keyboard holding up or have held up? I am an avid typist, I type a lot and I mean a lot, and fast. I'm worried the keyboard won't last with me, I'm afraid it breaks like year or less? Any thoughts?
Hey man! Nice reviews! Just saw a couple of your videos. Could you suggest whether I should go with this one or Lenovo yoga 730? My main usages are note taking and coding. Thunderbolt is a plus but of course this one doesn’t have it. And sometimes I code while lying in bed in the night, that’s where my doubts are with surface pro. For 2 in 1, the keyboard part works like a stand. Please provide your inputs. PS build quality and the looks matter to me, and the shorter the key travel the better! (I love the new MacBook Pro keyboard)
I've honestly never heard of that Lenovo laptop but i am considering buying the Surface Pro as it seems like a good deal that I've found on the Microsoft website where I can get a Surface Pro + Platinum Signature Type Cover Bundle Intel Core i5, 128GB SSD, 8GB RAM for a discounted price of $799.00. That means I am saving over one hundred fifty nine dollars for the platinum keyboard.
AMD: Thank you for your great review! Micro Center has the 2017 Surface Pro i5 8GB Ram/128GB SSD w/Keyboard (!) for $699! N.B. In Store Pick Up only. Everywhere else it's $799. I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough.... I got so tired of the spinning beachball on my 2011 Mac Mini (& waiting for Apple to upgrade their Minis).... I'm very happy w/ my new Surface Pro even though I don't remember much about Windows OS.
Hi Andrew, thanks for another great review. Even though it was just released last summer, the fact that it hasn’t got USB-C and the new 8th gen CPU’s makes it somehow outdated. Do you know if Microsoft is planning to update the processor any time soon or will we have to wait until the new version is out in another 2 years?
So expensive! I'm not familiar with longevity for MS Surface Pro, so would it last three years or so? That would be the only way I could justify spending that amount of money, sale or no sale. If Microsoft would keep current with the software updates, and the hardware would last with fairly constant use, I could give it serious consideration. Like you though, I would be spending more out of the gate by purchasing 8gb Ram with the higher SSD on board. When all would be then said and done, I would likely be looking at close to two grand by the time I included taxes and opted to get the top end keyboard and also purchase the pen. Seriously, do you have any idea about overall expectations as to how long this expensive "toy" might last?
My surface pro 4 didn't last a year.. it was perhaps the worst electronic device I've ever owned, and there is a lot of negative discussion online surrounding it. However, I'm giving microsoft a second chance, as I've just bought the surface book 2, because my god they're beautiful! I'm *hoping* that MS has learnt enough to address all previous issues in their surface line up. But be warned: the alcantara is nightmare to keep clean, hence I've gone with the surface book instead of surface laptop. With the surface pro you can simply buy a new type cover, but you can't with the surface laptop
Surface products have terrible reliability unfortunately:( i wanted to buy one but 5 minutes on reddit sent me running to an ipad pro instead. I had a surfacebook a while ago and was hoping they woulda fixed the issues, but it seems thet haven't:/
I purchased a 3 year extended warranty for mine. I dont understand why prices for electronics keep going up while their life expectency keeps going down?
Should I go for Surface Pro 2017 or Lenovo Yoga 920 ? My usage would be for reading books, note taking, doing educational video tutorials using the pen, occasional video editing..Plz..
If you are going to be using it 90% of the time as a laptop, go with yoga 920. It's cheaper and will get the job done. If you will be using it mainly for tablet notetaking ant reading, like 60-70% of the time and you can afford it, the Surface is better. The yoga 920 has some really sharp edges.
Unless you have some sort of talent and use of that pen. I recommend not getting it. You're better off with a cheaper ultra book. If you don't mind the extra weight there's a lot of good lightweight laptop that already have a good GPU. As a student I hated the keyboard not able to use on your lap. Just a warning.
My dilemma exactly! It annoys me how the surface doesn't have 8th generation CPU and thunderbolt Type C ports..., but the screen is amazing and I would like to believe being a Microsoft product that the apps would run efficiently on it (making 8gb ram more than sufficient)
B&H has the 15/8/256 for $1099. They are an authorized Microsoft reseller. I wanted to buy a Surface Pro, but the lack of USB-C was a deal breaker. I'll wait for the next version. My wife has a Lenovo 24" monitor (P24h) with USB-C input and 4 USB3 ports hooked to a 2017 13" MBP. Works very well and the monitor can charge a device with 65W. BYW, great monitor for $300 list. Can usually get it on sale for $240. So you get a 24" monitor with 4-port USB hub for less than $300.
Only the m3 and i5 versions are fanless. Although I have heard from mamy sources that the heat management on the i7 versions have been hugely improved and is nowhere as loud/annoying.
Chris Yang You are right, but huge manufacurers including Microsoft can get such info much earlier than official announcement. So they should knew about the next CPU refresh before the release of the new Surface Pro. Besides processor issue, lack of USB c-type is yet another fail, anyway.
The processors they are using with the surface pro are the ones with Iris Plus graphics, those are still not yet released. The discount speaks clearly that the new surface pro is around the corner, either coming this June to compete with the Apple release, or coming October/November 2018. Also most likely the Surface Studio 2 will come too, with the new Intel Kaby-lake G series. I don't really think they will install the Kaby-lake G series in the surface pro, since even the low-end packages is a 65W TDP, we will see.
This checks all the boxes, excellent display, great build and design, good audio, good battery life and great pen support. Throw in an improved type cover and we have a winner. Negatives are, price and lack of USB C port. Microsoft got a lot of it right. What do you think, let me know?
Needed another usb port and a hdmi port.
bhargav blaze best to get a fanless version, the m3 version is tbe best for longevity.

Thx.
How do you think the i5 version fairs against the current 12 inch MacBook which its competing against?
To me these are difference devices. One is a 2-in-1 and the other a traditional laptop.
hey Andrew ... could u review the SMARTRON tbook FLEX 2-in-1!!!!!!!!!! its an indian product
Would you recommend this for programming in java and C++ ?
Im thinking on getting the 16gb ram surface pro
Truthseeker__ S no, get a surface book 2 or surface laptop 2 instead
I have this machine. I LOVEEEE it!!! One of the best investments I've ever made! 👍🙂❤️
Beware....The alcantara cover gets really dirty, and it's hard to clean. I went back to the original type cover, it holds up way better.
Thanks for the warning. Mine is too new to really come to any conclusions.
Thanks for the warning. I almost pulled the trigger on the alcantara
is the pen as good as the Samsung Galaxy Book?
thatOne is even better
I just bought one a i5 8gb 265ssd for 1000

Hello,
Are the i5 and the i7 both fanless tablets??
Thanks!
Only the m3 and i5 versions are fanless. Although I have heard from mamy sources that the heat management on the i7 versions have been hugely improved and is nowhere as loud/annoying.
Also I was wondering if the keyboard is backlit??
Thanks!
DG Junior Yes. The keyboard is backlit in one color.
i5 is, i7 is a hybrid
Can anyone who has bought the surface pro for student use tell me if the microphone is suitable for audio recording in a lecture?
Audio is poor.
Stylus respond for photoshop is suck
However, not including 8th gen processor is a huge fail.
It was released before the 8th gen prossesors
