I picked up this Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and I only had it for a short while so I couldn't install Fedora or Ubuntu on it like I wanted to
Plus I edited this entire video in LumaFusion on my iPad so I apologize ahead of time for the quality.

I bought my Surface Pro 4 in 2019 second hand for 300€, it is 2022 and it is still brand new. I use it purely for work, and this is the best purchase I have ever made. Not only the battery lasts for a good 5-6h, but it is also quite fast as long as you are not super multitasking. The screen looks amazing and the keyboard feels superb. Make no mistake, this is not a tablet, it is a full fledged laptop, which you can use in a tablet format, but there are better tablets for that. If you want a good priced laptop that works perfectly well in 2022 for under 300€, it is 100% recommended.

Got myself a refurbished surface pro 4 for little money, it is nice and all and works well but somehow it has a serious battery drain issue. Which is unfotunate bc I would like to use it for university but the battery would have to last at least 5 hours without having to plug it in. Which isn't the case in my case. The battery drains insanely fast when turned off or just browsing and doing office stuff... A lot of people have battery issues with their pro 4s, so maybe get the pro 5 instead or something else.

That isn't a Thunderbolt. It's just a DisplayPort. Also, you're attaching the pen the wrong way. It doesn't stick to the right side (you wouldn't put it there anyways because it'd cover the ports). And on the left side, the magnets are located on the bottom-half of the screen, not the top-half where you keep trying to place it. My pen stays firmly attached to my Surface all day, even when I pick it up and move around with it.

The pen goes on the LH side. Not the right, in the way of the USB and Power ports...That's why it's flimsy. Just sayin

@MikeDancy 2 года назад
I don’t mind LumaFusion but it’s a bit awkward to use. I’ll have to retry it, it’s been awhile since I’ve used it. Have you tried CapCut yet? I may grab a iPad Air just for editing. Ow that I do mainly short vertical videos

The screen is 0,4mm thick, so if you are replacing the ssd for a better one, pray to god that you already smashed the screen or just buy a new screen on principle. Because its going to break no matter what.

Should I trade my Nintendo switch for this laptop?
@MikeDancy
@MikeDancy 3 года назад
Switch lite or switch? I wouldn’t include any games in the trade. The switch has a higher resale value. If the surface pro includes the keyboard and the pen then it might be worth it. I’d personally prefer the surface over the switch though.
@ricardodeabreu2951
@ricardodeabreu2951 3 года назад
@@MikeDancy the normal switch. The surface does come with the keyboard, but it doesn’t include the pen (which I don’t really need because I have an IPad + Apple Pencil) I want the surface to serve as a laptop to do work on google docs, some presentations, and maybe media consumption from time to time. Pretty much what a college student does.

I don't like this video because you keep saying "it's no iPad"... Well yeah because it's not a tablet, it's a PC that does a lot more things so it's much busier, has a lot more buttons. If you had a touchscreen Mac it would also be "no iPad". You're comparing two different things. In 2021 you've decided to buy a tablet. Good for you, but that's not related to the worth of this Surface Pro
