Just watched your videos after a long time. Your hair looks so good on you, Lisa! Been a follower since 2013

Looking good! Love tablet PCs' versatility and freedom, I think Surface hardware has always been pinnacle, though Surface X's ARM worried me, your news here is great to hear :D Thank you! 🤗

Been waiting for this review

The one review I was waiting for!

Always love the side discussions of digital art!

I find your tshirt exception-al

It's been so long since I watched any tech videos and wow the new haircut looks awesome Lisa!!!

As always, great review. Hit the key notes, note the issues and wrap up with great, balanced evaluation. I have both the SP 11 and the latest iPad Pro and, while I love the iPad pencil, I actually find the Surface Pro Pen easier and better to use. You say potato, I say … . The t-shirts alone are worth subscribing. The awesome reviews are the cherry on top. Thanks so much.

Whenever I'm thinking about buying a new computer I always hunt you down on KZread lol! Lo and behold you uploaded this only 20 hours ago!

By default, HDR is effectively disabled even if you enable it; you need to turn off all auto brightness settings, turn off a power saving setting that silently disables HDR when on battery, and run the HDR calibration tool.

Thanks for your review

Hi Lisa. I watched part of your video three times, and then I double-checked on the Surface website to make sure. I want to ask you about the Surface Connect port. In your B-roll, it shows the power cord connecting to the Surface Connect port, and the location is just above the middle of the right side of the display. My question is, did you find this to be annoying, or get in the way, when it's just used for power supply? Second question, when you have a dock connected to the port, then you're more firmly anchored to your desk, and you need the cord plugged in to stay connected to storage drives or other things, you can still move the screen to different angles, but does it start to get in your line of sight and be annoying? Wouldn't it be better to have the port at the bottom edge of one side of the screen (in landscape)? (Compare this to the iPad with the Apple keyboard case, you can plug in to power and docks using the USB C port in the hinge of the keyboard rather than the USB C port on the edge of the display). :: Yes I know I'm being OCD about this, but did you find the cord getting in the way or the cord being visually distracting while using the screen? Thanks for your help! :)

Nice to see you again with your reviews. Keep it up and God bless.

Did you activate the new haircut in the dev options? Looks great. Thanks for the great review, as always. Have been watching you since Nokia N91 :)

What is the windows start up time? I have all ready set up my new snapdragon x elite 16 gb ram. (No app / program and documents loaded) Takes min 30 sec. to windows pin screen. Is ıt normal? What s yours?

Hello! Subscribed in 2013 and have loved all your videos! You are one of my favourite tech KZreadrs! My PC monitor is a 42" LG 4K OLED, and when you zoomed in on the screen, I could see the digitizer screen door effect. So, yea, it's there. I would need to see it in person, to really know if it's something that would be too distracting to want to purchase. I hope you get the ASUS ProArt PZ13, when it becomes available. I would like to see a comparison :)

I'm looking for a tablet to use solely for illustration and browser based web design. I'm a Windows and Android user and I generally loathe Apple. I tested both devices today at the mall, having never used a Surface or iPad before. Unfortunately, I have to tip my hat to Apple; I felt that the iPad Pro screen is extremely impressive, particularly the etched glass version. I noticed the digitizer on the Surface straight away. The Apple Pen and keyboard also feel like they're much higher quality. I was all set to purchase the Surface 11, but now I'm utterly conflicted.

I bought the 11 OLED after watching this review and many others. Slick hardware overall, but I have to agree with the concerns regarding the screen, and being able to see the digitizer layer or some sort of other screening effect that makes anything with a white or off-white background look muddy. I also have the Lenovo Slim 7x which has an OLED and an iPad Pro OLED, and I do not get nearly the same effect with either of those. I wonder if the issue only affects some Pro 11 OLED units? I'm going to reach out to Microsoft, but imagine I may end up returning it because I find it so distracting if they don't offer a replacement.

Detachable screen ?

Tried it out for one day and Lightroom lagged! It all depends on the file sizes and resolution of your camera. I have 61 megapixels and files are around 80mb big. Heavy delays when dragging the sliders. Might be easier for smaller files. Surface Pro 11 is great for surfing the web and Netflix. On the other hand, why would anyone waste so much money for that?

Try Lightroom Classic on this? Ouch. Granted, it’s all new and Adobe has some catching up to do, but I use it every day for biz… and had to go back to the Mac until things are sorted.☹

@mobiletechreview

Ай бұрын

Only Lightroom CC (Classic isn't native on ARM yet).

I used one in Best Buy and noticed the digitizer immediately. For $1,400 I don’t want to see it lol. It’s not visible on Apple tablets, nor on Samsung OLED tablets. Microsoft should have done better. It impacts the clarity of the screen especially on lighter color images.

Bruh for a split second there I thought unknowingly I have enabled the developer mode on my phone somehow 😂 that's a good one 👌

I wish it had an anti reflecting coating

Nice honest review. I bought the elite version as my Samsung S9 Ultra is just too big. I'm struggling with the OLED display on The Surface Pro...There is absolutely an issue with the screen door effect. Once you see it you can't unsee it. The whole display looks grainy and can be demonstrated side by side with another OLED device such as the Tab S9 Ultra. You must not have the best new glasses or a there are different screens 😀 Battery life is a welcome improvement.

You're right Lisa. The prices of accessories are getting more ridiculous nowadays!! And I'm talking about from all major manufacturers... Btw, I'm just wondering. Won't you review Xiaomi tablets? Like the Pad 6?

Bluetooth on the keyboard's a godsend - there are times it's good to have a surface pro (like this 7) in portrait mode propped on its 90 degree out stand, but even better if the keyboard still worked.

I find it somewhat disappointing that battery life is around 8 hours. Better than old Surface but still not amazingly good for the new ARM processors.

It's a bummer seeing X86 get such a bad rep because Intel is behind TSMC in power efficiency and Intel still has a large market lead over AMD in the mobile space.

Olen consumes more power? Strange.

@peterthepanda

Ай бұрын

Yes, when displaying white or bright content compared to LCD. OLED uses less power than LCD only when displaying black or dark content because the individual pixels are dimmed or turned off (each OLED pixel generates their own light, unlike LCD that has a separate backlight array).

@williammaverick

Ай бұрын

​@@peterthepanda The difference in their power consumption between bright and dark colors is even disproportional as OLED consumes far more with bright colors and only a little less with dark ones compared to LCD. It is only with actual black that OLED really saves power more. Source: Notebookcheck's test on Razer Blade OLED.

Wish they‘d use the same glass Samsung uses on the S24 Ultra. The reflexions are killing the OLED advantage.

For $2100 it's a bit disappointing that the "Elite" processor is only their 3rd best. Imagine how competitive this Surface would be if it had one of their 3.8Ghz processors with better GPU performance on board.

x86 performance is "acceptable enough." Personally zero interest in these. I think the market share cap for X elite is 5%ish. AMD's AI 370 is going to crush these in most everything.

I’ve been using this machine for a week. My main takeaway: Windows is still a very clunky and non-uniform user experience, especially in tablet mode. The user needs to fiddle with too many settings to optimally take advantage of the hardware.
