- You might have seen my video on the new changes
that the Surface Pro has over the Surface Pro 4.
You can click that link to be taken to that if you haven't.
Or you might have seen my article
when Microsoft was announcing this device in China
not that long ago, also click the link
for that if you're interested.
But, since Microsoft was kind enough to give me
one of these when I was at their Surface demo event
here in New York City, I figured I would do
what we're all supposed to when we get new tech.
An unboxing.
So first up, we have the box.
Inside there we're presented with the tablet itself
which we'll get to in a bit.
Under that we have a sleeve with paperwork in it
that people like us just don't read.
And we also have to charging brick and charging cable.
There's actually nothing left in the box,
so after that, let's take a look at the Surface Pro itself.
The device is 11 1/2 inches by 7.9 inches by 0.33 inches
in dimensions and weighs about 1.7 pounds.
On the front we have a 12.3 inch, 3 by 2 aspect ratio,
2,736 by 1,824-pixel resolution touch screen.
Above it we have our front-facing, 5 megapixel camera,
along with infrared camera and ambient light sensor
used for Windows Hello facial recognition.
You'll also notice that these are colored in
to match the bezel on this device
compared to the last one.
And, around the back, we have an 8 megapixel, rear-facing
camera, both of which are capable of 1080p video.
On the right side, we have a USB 3.0 port,
mini-display port, and an SD card slot.
On the other side, we have the 3.5 mm audio jack.
Powering all of this, we have the choice
of either an Intel m3, i5, or i7 processor,
and either 4, 8, or 16 gigs of RAM.
For graphics you have the choice of the Intel Graphics 615,
620, or Iris Plus 640.
Storage options are 128, 256, 512 gigs,
and there's even a 1 TB option
for the top-specced model.
At the bottom of the tablet,
you'll notice a magnetic connector
which, as we are all now familiar with the product line,
connects to the optional keyboards,
the top model of which is
the new Surface Pro Signature Type Cover,
which I have here.
Opening that up, we have the blue color,
which is my personal favorite.
It's now covered in the same Alcantara material
to match the new Surface laptop
that was also recently announced.
The keys are a similar layout,
albeit with more travel to them.
It has LED backlighting and the same large glass track pad
from the previous iteration of the type cover.
Besides this new accessory, Microsoft also announced
the new Surface Pen alongside it.
Inside the also optional pen's box, we have the pen,
which we'll get to in a sec, and a sleeve
with more paperwork that people like us just don't read.
The pen is now apparently the fastest pen,
according to Microsoft,
and has 4,096 points of pressure sensitivity.
It has the ability to be tilted sideways
to perform actions like pencil-shading,
has a clickable button near the point,
and another one where the eraser would be at the back.
It also magnetically attaches to the Surface Pro
and is pretty sturdy there, as well.
Now, guys, quick rundown of the specs
and showcasing the new Surface Pro,
keyboard, and the pen.
Let me know in the comments below
what you guys think of the device itself,
the keyboard, the pen, Microsoft in general,
love to hear from you guys.
Personally I think it's pretty cool
that Microsoft is trying to create
this consistency and familiarity
across all of their Surface products,
with the same materials, the same colors,
smart business move, I think.
But love to hear what you guys think as well.
