hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and this is the Microsoft Surface pro 6 the
box doesn't say 6 just like last year so maybe they decided to add that last
minute I'm not sure and one of the things that's changed this year is it's
updated processors we've got 8th gen Intel Core i5 processors they're quad
core this one has the 256 gigabyte option which is the minimum you need in
order to have the black color and then also eight gigabytes of RAM
of course it's expandable as well now I've also got the Alcantara signature
type cover because the black one does not have Alcantara and I really like
that I also picked up the pen so we'll take a look at those in just a moment
but let's open the surface first so let's flip this over here I've got it
started right here let's remove this now we're not going to see a whole lot of
difference on the external parts of this let's open this up take a look and let's
remove the top here opens really slowly just like an apple box I guess now there
we go and here's the surface itself still very
thin we'll take a look at that in a moment and in here I believe we have the
power plug power adapter so that's the wall part with the AC adapter and then
something that I really miss on Apple devices that they've kept on the surface
is the magnetic charging port cable and so we've got this adapter and we've also
got an external USB so if we need to charge something else we can so let me
set that aside and then let's take a look in here you've got some literature
and just one booklet it looks like so nothing else no stickers or anything
like that let's set this aside and take a look at the surface let's open it up
here
and like I said this is the black model which is a matte finish and looks really
nice let's flip it over and it looks pretty much the same as last time and
what we have is a twelve point three inch display corner-to-corner
and it's also 27 36 by 18 24 it's a pixel sense display they've always
looked really good and this one there's something interesting as far as the
options go with the processor so like I said it's a core i5 it's a quad core and
fanless this time around just like last generation that i7s have a fan the i5 s
don't so this time around they've done something kind of interesting it comes
in at $8.99 for the very base model and goes all the way over $2,000 depending
on which one you've got now if you have the business model you get a slightly
higher clock speed so depending on what you have you might have a 1.6 gigahertz
or 1.7 gigahertz core i5 without a fan in the core i7s have the fan now on the
back you can see we have our 8 megapixel camera with our microphones and then on
the back of course you've got the kickstand and this folds up like this
and these are really durable and this scares me every time I do this but you
can push this right flat and it doesn't hurt it at all it bends no problem and
this also has expandable storage which is something great so if you've got 256
gigabytes of storage just like this one you need some more you can put up and
put in another SD card and expand that storage now on the side we take a look
at the ports we've got the surface connector of course USB a and display
port on the top we've got our power and volume buttons they've got a nice clicky
feel to them and it just turned on and then on this side we've got our
headphone jack and then on the front we've got a forward facing camera five
megapixel and a microphone so we'll wait for it to boot up I'll set it down here
and let me grab the keyboard so the keyboard here is like I said Alcantara
the black one doesn't have that so if you want the Alcantara one it's a little
bit more or you can find them usually pretty inexpensively at different places
you'll see it's ready to set up I'll just hit the power button for now let's
open up the keyboard quickly
now these come in in about a hundred and fifty dollars however I was able to get
this on a deal from the local store here Best Buy for
about 125 so it's less expensive its Alcantara nice trackpad backlit keyboard
and it protects your device as well let me just click it into place there we go
so it's in place and it also folds up to the device as well now let's set this up
like this and we'll set it up so now we'll go ahead and set everything up yes
yes yes no now while we wait for this one thing that is the same as last year
is this layout you've got your speakers on the top here as well and your
keyboard and it looks the same no matter what device you're on and that's because
the front is the same as last year only the back has changed on the magnesium
chassis
so it looks like we can't use our voice for this part so I'll just go ahead and
hit accept so I'll go ahead and sign in with my account
yes yes so I'll go ahead and create my pin yes yes and you can change those
settings later so we'll accept I'm familiar with all of these and we should
be just about done we're up and running now and this is what it looks like as
soon as you boot it up and not really anything exciting although it is a
pretty nice wallpaper here now let me connect this and it changed by itself
that's what I had set prior to that let me see if I can open this up here's the
pen itself just like any of the other pens I'll remove the cover here it looks
like I shredded that but let's remove this now the pen is unwrapped and it
should be pretty simple to pair now you can pair it for more features using this
button but it will work right away on the display it also sticks to the side
of course and we're good to go there now as far as the overall use of this
machine it should be up to sixty percent faster and it also has up to about 12 to
13 hours of battery if you're just watching video so it should be pretty
good that way and if we close it it looks really good in
black and I I like the way this Alcantara kind of sets off the two-tone
look of it and you may or may not like it but I like the el cantare better than
the the plastic II feel of the other one now of course we have this event here
for cooling and that's it so no fans it should be nice and quiet this probably
looks like it's going to be a fingerprint magnet but other than that
it looks really nice and based on what everyone's saying it's
really fast and it's just a major upgrade as far as internals but other
than that it's the same thing so let me know if you want to see a full review on
this anything specific you'd like to know about it that maybe you're not
seeing elsewhere I'd be happy to do that just like I did with the surface go
maybe some applications that you're wondering about if they'll work well and
we should have Windows hello here and it recognized me immediately and we're good
to go so that's it it looks pretty good I'll get updating it I'll see if it'll
play some video games maybe and go from there if you have any other questions or
comments let me know in the comments below if you haven't subscribed already
