my wallet is a tad matad at the moment
but it's not my fault that so many new
tablets are popping out of the woodwork
luckily this video is again sponsored by
chime and you can get a $10 reward by
opening a new chime checking account but
more on that later Microsoft has heard
the bugle of Apple's M4 iPad and
responded with a brand new Surface Pro
computer in tablet form which is powered
by a 12 core Snapdragon X Elite
everything sounds more futuristic with
the letter X in it except Twitter at 13
in it's pretty comparable in size to the
M4 iPad Pro which if you remember did
not Bend horizontally but did kick the
bucket when pressure was applied
vertically it's also a tad strange that
Microsoft is just calling this the new
Surface Pro without a number attached
even though this would technically be
the surface 11th Edition there's still a
little sweet built-in kickstand putting
the whole tablet at 9.3 mm thick it
feels very solid for reference the M4
iPad Pro was 5.1 mm thick which is a
pretty substantial difference as we work
our way through the most scale of
hardness there's also a substantial
difference in the capabilities the M4
iPad is running iPad OS which is closer
to a jumbo sized iPhone than a computer
while the Surface Pro is running
full-blown windows it's kind of like
comparing a Nea sketch to a gaming rig
both tablets however do start scratching
at a level six with deeper Crews at a
level s the Surface Pro 11th Edition is
using Gorilla Glass 5 and that same
glass is covering the front-facing video
conferencing camera camera the screen
glass is notched for some rather large
stereo speaker grills there are only two
though one at the top and one at the
bottom for comparison the M4 iPad Pro
has four speakers surprisingly the power
button is made from plastic along with
the volume rocker but don't you worry
the frame of the Surface Pro is aluminum
which we have all come to
Love and
Enjoy moving over to the bottom Edge we
see a 65 watt knockoff wanabe mag safe
charging port it's doing everything
possible in its power to not
magnetically connect which kind of
defeats the whole purpose of it being
magnetic in the first
place the other long side has a
connection port for the keyboard and an
empty slot to help guide it in and be
secur which technically isn't even
needed since the surface keyboard can
work from a distance and doesn't need to
be attached the last short side of the
service pro has two USBC ports for
connecting external monitors and
anything else that uses
USBC the kickstand on this thing is a
beast made from a solid slab of metal
with rais stamped edges that allow it to
clamp very securely shut it's a mighty
fine piece of engineering there's a
series of vents all around that rear
slab for what I assume is an internal
cooling fan setup hopefully we get a
close look at that in a second the tiny
rear camera is 10 megapixels and covered
with glass now while the rear vents
around the back help keep the Surface
Pro cool something even more cool is

open a chime checking account and
activate a chime Visa debit card
chime.com Jerry rig link is down in the
description now the windows logo on the
back does appear to be inlaid glossy
plastic but will definitely not be
falling out on its own it is incredibly
well secured at the back of the computer
and speaking of computer I do want Apple
to take a good hard long look at this
Nifty feature a magnetically attached
back door covering an easily swappable
solid state Gen 4 SSD beautiful you can
upgrade the long-term storage in about 2
minutes or have multiple boot drives and
physically swap the operating system
systems at a moment's notice I'm sure if
someone's ambitious enough they could
technically turn the surface 11 into a
Hackintosh running the Mac OS and create
the world's most powerful iPad built by
Microsoft the only thing missing would
be the tandem OLED the Surface Pro in
front of us does have a 120 HZ OLED made
by Samsung but it's not a double stacked
panel with pixels two layers deep it
does however last for about 30 seconds
under the flame test which tells us that
fire is indeed still hot now the
thinnest Apple product ever was actually
surprisingly durable it flexed a bit
when played with horizontally but thanks
to Apple's structural core it stayed
intact until bent in the upright
vertical position and then snapped in
half both the 11 and 13in behaved in a
similar manner it is however still
fairly impressive that with only four
more millimet of thickness the Microsoft
Surface Pro 11th generation is nearly
immovable I credit the super thick
kickstand and the Brontosaurus but
mostly the kickstand nothing moves when
bent horizontally and again no flexing
when bent in the vertical position
either at 900 G it does weigh nearly a/4
pound more than the iPad Pro Americans
understand weights better when converted
to Burger sizes and I would assume that
most of that weight is coming from the
sheer girth of the internal structural
components speaking of which since we're
already here let's see what that
Snapdragon XLE processor looks like on
the inside this won't hurt a bit now I'm
sure someone in the comments has already
scribbled out that oh hey the iPad is a
computer too but it's most definitely
not while the Surface Pro is running
full-blown Windows the iPad is running
iPad OS which yes can run Da Vinci and
Photoshop and Lightroom but most apps
found on iPad os are limited versions of
what we find in Mac OS which of course
is an intentional move by Apple since
they wouldn't want to cannibalize the
sales of their own computers by making a
computer replacement for example Final
Cut for the iPad cost 50 bucks and Final
Cut for the Mac computer is 300 buying
one does not get you the other they are
two different feature sets and
capabilities one is heavily watered down
and I'll let you guess which one that is
honestly I'm very surprised this guy's
still alive the Surface Pro is a whole
computer smashed into a tablet form
factor you can tell by the full-fledged
laptop grade cooling system inside
complete with fans and copper Vapor
Chambers and it's a good thing I'm
sitting down right now or I'd fall over
from shock there are QR codes inside
that link directly to downloadable
repair guides I I wish I had but more
than one thumbs up to give never have I
ever seen a piece of tech that is this
repair friendly and the frosting on top
is that iix it sells genuine Microsoft
replacement parts for the Surface Pro so
parts are very easy to get I'll turn off
the Surface Pro just to be safe and we
can unplug the largest Lego style ribbon
connector we've ever seen which allows
the screen to come free from the
computer the torque screws around the
edge are clearly marked and after about
18 of them are removed along with the
charging port ribbon and fan ribbon the
the whole cooling system can lift up and
away from the computer the copper
absorbs the heat from the processor and
spits it out the size of the tablet with
the circular turbo fan the Snapdragon
exolite looks pretty cool all shiny and
reflective and stuff it's a shame that
no one else gets to see it but you guys
it is weird though that the battery can
only be unplugged after the cooling
system is removed kind of a strange
order of operations but also I didn't
actually read the repair guide so it is
what it is with nine more screws gone
the battery comes free from the tablet
no glue no prying no alcohol No Mess no
fire and no explosions just some small
white text that recommends a replacement
by experienced individuals and I am most
definitely experienced so that includes
me it looks like there are four cells
making 512 wat hours and again more QR
codes that take you to downloadable
repair guides very impressive the only
thing more impressive than being
repairable is if it actually works when
I put it back together again I don't
have any new thermal paste thing around
so I'll just scrape the used ther paste
off a different CPU Cooler since I'm all
about that recycling lifestyle and every
component can get slapped back into
place with the battery heat pipes and
turbo fan all locked in and secured we
can plug in the budget Mac safe and hit
that power button success I don't know
how Microsoft put a whole computer into
a space the size of an iPad while
keeping it entirely repairable but I'm a
huge fan of this trend and I hope it
continues thanks to D for watching I'll
see you around
