Surface Pro 6 Review! Worth the extra $$$ over a Surface Go?

2018-10-23
what is guys's beat you back here again with another real review for real users what do you guys think about that intro let me know down in the comments below but anyways guys I have a review for you guys on the new surface pro 6 now I recently did a review on the surface go link down in the description below shameless plug that was my first introduction to the surface line and boy was I not disappointed they are giving you laptop performance and a small form factor I mean what's not to love about that so after that experience I said you know what the pro sounds like it will be like the go but on steroids so I patiently waited until the surface pro 6 came out and picked one up so today I'm going to be giving you guys the good and the bad on the surface pro 6 before we begin though guys I want to let you guys know that I am now doing all my unboxings on my Instagram stories exclusively so follow me at bt esthetics to get a first look at what's coming up on the channel you'll get the inside scoop and my thoughts my initial impressions as well so from a design standpoint the surface pro 6 is exactly the same as a surface pro 5 except for this year they are giving us a black version ooh-ahh i decided to go with the classic platinum because i just think it looks amazing the bezels aren't super thin but I don't mind because it works very nicely with the type cover the hinge makes the surface pro line so so much nicer than the iPad in my opinion you can put this on whatever surface you want and whatever position you like and you can be rest assured that it will stay in that way period so as for the ports the surface pro 6 has a USB 3.0 which is getting a lot of crap and rightfully so because even the surface go a 550 dollar device has USB C connectivity and it just takes the device to a whole another level with that connectivity USB C is also the future so Microsoft isn't really future proofing this device I will say that though that may be true you will to get a lot of functionality out of the USB 3 with hard drives and things like that also on the side you'll find a mini DisplayPort in case you want to hook it up to an external monitor the device is also coming in at 1.7 pounds which is lighter than most laptops where the average is around 2.5 pounds or above so carrying this thing around will be a breeze before you go any further Microsoft please just bundle the type cover with the surface pro line or any surface device these are an extra 130 to 150 dollars on top of the 900 I paid for the device I would like to see them just add that into the price that way there isn't that sticker shock of oh now I have to pay an extra 130 dollars just to have the type cover and it shouldn't be like that that being said the type cover is my favorite thing about the surface pro lines the keys are great and the track pad has gestures which is just amazing the screen features a resolution of 27 36 by 18 24 267 PPI and aspect ratio of 3:2 - it's definitely sharper than the surface go and I have to say guys I'm really impressed by the screen on this thing it's very responsive as well and it is super sharp the biggest change to the surface pro line this year is that the processor has been bumped up from 2 cores to 4 cores it also not features 8 gigabytes or 16 gigabytes of RAM an i5 or i7 processor and 128 gigabytes of storage - one terabyte of storage depending on your needs I think the bump up in the cores actually caused them to drop the integrated graphics from a 640 to a 620 the one reason I believe this is the case is because the four core processors probably aren't that advanced to have that better integrated graphics in their most applications that creatives will use though are mostly a CPU extensive this machine will breeze through Lightroom browsing and more chrome also runs very very smoothly on this device and even the memory hog you to does very well on this device I am thoroughly impressed by this device Intel graphics I've never been great for gaming so don't buy this if you plan on gaming or playing for night or pub GU will lag this is your final warning this year the battery has been bumped up to 13.5 hours which is just amazing especially for those of you who travel out there I love having windows on the go a lot of people hate on Windows 10 but I actually preferred over Mac OS at the moment the camera is also very good as it eight megapixel camera on the back five megapixel on the front and both perform very well it's also got a 1080p video camera on the front facing camera for video calls and I'm very impressed by how clear the image is for me I've been using this device to storyboard my videos using the pin which also works very well so when I got done testing this device I came to this question in my head is it worth paying an extra four hundred dollars over the surface code to get this surface pro and the answer that I came up was yes and no yes if you are a photo editor and gonna do some light graphical work or maybe some light video editing know if you're gonna be using this just to go on browse and travel because I think the surface goal will be more than enough for those tasks if you just want to browse watch YouTube watch videos on the go then the servers go I think is the better option save yourself 400 bucks alright guys so that is my review on the surface pro 6 let me know if you have any more questions down below and I'll be sure to answer thank you for watching and if you have enjoyed this video hit that thumbs up button and consider subscribing for more tech videos coming at your face soon it's benny-boy bt saying peace
