hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and this is the Microsoft Surface pro 7
if we take a look at the back of it here you'll see it says surface pro 7 in the
upper left and this is the 10th generation that's the new processor in
here Core i5 with 256 gigabytes of storage and 8 gigabytes of RAM now this
is supposed to be faster than last year's i7 model but it's still supposed
to be fanless I do have some of the accessories I have the new signature
type cover and this fits the surface pro 5 6 & 7 as well as the new Microsoft
Surface pen and we'll talk about these in a moment this is the new poppy red
color let's go ahead and open this up we'll take the cover off here now
depending which model you get this starts at 749 and goes up to 2,000 299
dollars it can come with a intel core i3 and i5 or an i7 up to one terabyte of
storage so let's go ahead and take the cover off here that's the box top now
this is the surface itself let's set this aside just for a moment and take a
look at what's in the box so we have a little pamphlet here usually you only
have the one pamphlet and I guess this year they've included a couple different
things so it says Microsoft Surface pro you've got a little information guide
here we've also got this little card here and then it looks just like a
cardboard backing I suppose set this aside and then in here I would expect we
have the plug and this is one of my favorites
ever since Apple got rid of their magnetic plug this is my favorite plug
now that it's magnetic it attaches to the device you've got your normal power
adapter there and then USB so if you want to charge something additional you
can do that now aside from that you get the wall adapter depending where you
live it's going to look a little bit different but that's all you've got and
that should charge it without any problems so these are really nice
compact and easy to carry now this year this comes in platinum and that matte
black color again last year I got the matte black so I thought we'd take a
look at the platinum let's go ahead and open this up
and this version is not too much different than what we had before now
like I said this is the core i5 it is a quad core i5 with that new tenth
generation chipset it also has Intel iris graphics in the i5 and i7 variants
so it's pretty decent and then that 256 gigabytes of storage that goes up to 800
megabytes per second in tests that I'm seeing now this is created out of
magnesium and it's a pretty unique finish it's really nice makes it
lightweight and strong if we open this up here we still have room for our
expandable storage and this is unlike the new surface pro X that comes out in
a few weeks from now but this has expandable storage you cannot open this
up now the kickstand is very durable and this scares me every time I do it but
you can push it right down and it does feel a little bit different like it goes
a little bit further down this year but it does Bend it's very durable and
doesn't seem to have an issue there now if we take a look around the outside of
it one of the new things this year is that new USBC port now this is not a
thunderbolt port but it does support USB C so you can't use an external GPU or
anything like that you have a USB a you have your surface connector so you can
charge it or connect it to a dock and then if we go around the bottom we've
got our connector for our type cover and then on this side we still have a
headphone jack here so that's really nice and then on the top you've got your
power button and volume up and down now this still has that really nice twelve
point three inch pixel sense display and it comes in at twenty-seven 36 by 1824
with 267 pixels per inch let's go ahead and turn it on so we'll set this down
you'll see it did pick up some finger prints here we'll let that turn on it
says just a moment and while we do that since I'll probably need this type cover
to set it up you'll see this is the new type cover it's a hundred and $59 if you
don't get a discount on it and this is the new poppy red color so let's go
ahead open this and inside here that's pretty
much all you get is the type cover itself and this one is Alcantara if you
don't like Alcantara they do have other options but this is a new color along
with a new ice blue as well it's got that nice trackpad along with the
keyboard that has a pretty decent travel this is a very nice keyboard to use it's
pretty rigid and overall looks pretty good let's go ahead and click it into
place and of course you can just close it it fits nicely now before I set this
up there is a camera on the back this is an 8 megapixel camera along with a
microphone it can record up to 1080p and video at the top we have our Windows
hello sensors dual microphones as well as a 5 megapixel forward facing camera
so we can use that for Skype calls or anything like that so let's go ahead and
set this up now let's go ahead and click English for my language here you'll
select whatever is relevant to you click yes of course we can just tap the screen
for the same thing is your voice or the keyboard along the way and if you'd like
me to stay quiet just select the little microphone icon
towards the bottom of your screen if you need an assistive screen reader press
the windows control and enter keys at the same time to turn on narrator okay
enough intro let's dig in door region is set to United States is that right yes
yes
No
now that I've put my Wi-Fi password in we'll move on to the next step hit
accept or else we can't use Windows so I'll go ahead and put in my Microsoft
account credentials yes so it even noticed me off to the side so we can get
instant access to a phone or something like that I'll do this part later then
we can use onedrive yes so we can set up a free office 365 home trial I actually
don't use office 365 so we'll move on
yes now of course you don't have to allow that so you can change any of
these around for your privacy we'll just leave them as default for now now we're
at the desktop so let's click off of that there's the default wallpaper
that's set up in the background and we have windows new light mode here so we
can change that around if we'd like now this is the new surface pen and this has
new added tilt shading functionality and comes in at $100 if you don't get a
discount let's go ahead and open it up here
and it comes with a battery pre-installed and these lasts an
incredibly long time without swapping batteries but they're really nice let's
see what we've got in here if we have anything else we have a little pamphlet
here so it says Microsoft Surface probably some product or warranty
information and it looks like that's it I don't see any nibs or new nibs for the
tip of these but let's move this aside so we'll unwrap it here there we go and
immediately it works it says welcome to surface pen we'll hit next which hand do
you write with we'll hit right and we'll pair the pen will hold the top press and
hold the top LED yes we want to pair the pen this is waiting to pair let's try it
again so now it says welcome to sticky notes I can write Zolo tech very messy
so now as soon as I click the top it will open up an application just like it
would be for we can move this around if we'd like you've got Microsoft
whiteboard which is really nice and that's really all there is to it we'll
wait for that I guess I shouldn't try and close that out but this is nice it
sticks to the side of the surface which is always really nice to carry around
now that the surface pro 7 is set up there's a few other things to mention
one of them is battery life microsoft says to expect 10 and a half hours or so
of battery life on typical surface usage what typical usages specifically I'm not
sure but usually that's pretty much a couple hours better than what I've
experienced in the past so we'll see how this goes in the future but this also
has Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 along with 1.6 watt stereo speakers with Dolby
audio premium so these are really nice devices I am very excited to see what
the surface pro X is like compared to this one I was able to see them
the store today they are a little bit thinner but those do not have intel
processors in them so I'm curious to see how those are compared to this device so
let me know if there's anything specific you want to see about this I love this
windows hello it's super fast I wish other companies would add this it's just
incredibly easy and convenient to use when you have to go close your laptop
open it back up and get back into it just makes it that much easier to use
but let me know your thoughts about the surface pro 7 in the comments below
