what's up everyone John Ritter from TechnoBuffalo here and if you know how to read you know we've got an unboxing for you of the surface pro 2 the original surface pro is one of those devices at at first I wasn't a fan of and then the more I used it the more I liked it in fact I had to do an updated review on how my opinions change the first product I've ever had to do that with so I'm looking forward to checking out the surface pro 2 it should look exactly the same but perform a much better go ahead and take a first look alright so here is the box for the surface pro 2 looking almost identical to the original surface pro box except got this giant to emboss on it nothing that exciting to see we do have the 128 gigabyte version you can also pick this up in a 64 256 or 512 the lowest configuration is going to run you $8.99 through the 64 you can up it to the 128 which we have here for 129 or go for 1,300 for 256 and also get eight gigs and RAM as opposed to four or go giant style for almost 1800 bucks for 512 go ahead and pull this out I'm actually really excited to take a look at this I use my surface pro all the time at home so this guy will get a lot of views here is the surface box also new accessories are available for this as well there's a docking station there's an update updated type cover and touch cover which now have backlit displays and way more sensors for improved accuracy I had the original touch cover it was never overly accurate so here is the surface pro 2 I'm just going to probably call it the surface pro it does look identical to the outgoing surface pro model they held the side-by-side you really couldn't tell a difference push it off to the side for just a quick second congratulations you've earned the best of Skype earned it excited bought a computer so there's the best of Skype and there's 200 gigs of SkyDrive storage it's nice and then the surface pro 2 booklet also comes with a pen and it's sort of a Wacom stylus s thing and it goes right into the charging port and falls off very easily so make sure you keep an eye on that if you want to get one we've got a new and improved power cord here supposedly looks pretty much the same does have a USB port for charging and it's also be improved connectivity to the tablet and there's the connection see what that looks like a pretty small but significant is if you can even say that small and significant charging power brick push all it off to the side and here is the reason we are here these surface pro to go ahead and peel off the plastic and hopefully it sounds super satisfactory haha plastic pull you off so true to look at a surface versus a surface pro 2 the only way to clearly tell a difference is that it now says surface there instead of the windows logo other than that though pretty much pound-for-pound looks wise it is exactly the same but a few notable differences aside from just the writing right there the kickstand you've got one angle which was okay for sitting on a desk I'd want to put on your lap it never worked that well and I liked the fact to the kickstand went all the way across the entire tablet so it's sat very well on a lot the angle was very weird Microsoft took some feedback and gave it now a second angle which supposedly feels much more natural for sitting on a lap or even just using at a desk I will say though that I've used the surface 2 that has the same angles and this angle is much more comfortable so a little difference actually makes a lot of difference so push all that off to the side here go ahead and power it on and run through the rest of the specs I will say though from the get-go we are looking at the new Haswell core i5 grip which is quite nice clocked at 1.6 gigahertz and should give you way way way more battery life we're hearing upwards of seven ish hours of battery which should be about an hour nap two hours better than the original surface pro point five millimeter headset Jack come volume up and down USB 3.0 you can see the vent port goes all the way around it at first I found that kind of annoying and cumbersome but I got used to it very quickly and even notice that it was there you've got some speakers there is your power and lock button holding the tablet in landscape it's going to be in the upper right hand corner on the bottom that's where that docking and charging is going to go is also where the accessories for the keyboard and such will plug into continuing the tour we've got display out you do have expandable storage and that is micro SD and then the connection port and also where that pen is going to connect to and I'll bring that in here real fast and I'll show you what that looks like so there are those ports there's that it just kind of sits in there and will very easily get knocked out you can find a way to push it in and it'll stay right there if you want to use it just pull it out and make sure you hold on to it and should have a keychain with it same screen resolution here it's a ten point six inch display it's 1920 by 1080 meaning it's got a 206 PPI on it it's the clear type Full HD the same magnesium build that we saw on the original surface although Microsoft calls it a vapor mag it feels like aluminum puts Posey is much more durable and has better sort of heat dissipation I've got the same cameras here as well the surface to was when I got the camera update not so though for the surface pro 2 dimensions wise just to remind you in case you forgot it weighs 32 ounces of 907 grams on ten point eight one inches or twenty seven point four six centimeters its 0.53 inches thick or thirteen point five millimeters I'm going to go ahead and do a real quick setup I'll come back and show you what it looks like when it's all booted on so we've got the surface pro 2 all booted up when I signed it with my SkyDrive account on setup I actually set all of my apps where they used to be with a little sort of arrow pointing down it'll start downloading them when I select it what used to live right there was a shortcut to Chrome on the desktop side of windows 8 so this is running Windows 8.1 and everything you'd expect from Windows 8.1 is here all my old apps are starting to show up Microsoft Office it is a trial on the pro version but will come pre-installed on the regular surface 2 version let me go ahead and tray the desktop just regular windows 8 we do have that new sort of looks like you think you'd be a regular Start menu and it kind of is but all it does it just take you to the modern UI version hopefully that'll take us there there we go do the same thing with just that big button right there but the big story releases from my mind as accessories that come with the new surface line of tablets I've got right here in my hot little hand the type cover now I could hear the comment saying John never say hot little hand again I promise you I won't I knew it was bad as soon as it came out of my mouth this is going to set you back about 130 dollars it's much thinner than the outgoing version keys have a surprising amount of throw to them considering it's so thin also it is now backlit I'm powered solely by the tablet there are a lot of other accessories there is a battery accessory a dock and there's a DJ accessory it snaps in with a really sort of satisfactory click noise you can go ahead and use it new to the type cover this year we've got sir that felt trackpad and buttons that we saw on the touch cover which is still available now has way more sensors on the keys and is also backlit I was going to set you back about $80 but navigation is really really quick and using the keyboard is awesome it's a really enjoyable typing experience with the type cover I did not have the best experience with the touch cover on the original surface for whatever that it was worth so it's been a real quick first look and unboxing of the Microsoft Surface pro 2 I will have a full review and let you know what we think before I go though let me just show you real quick comparison with the surface 2 this is what was previously called surface RT I will do a real quick side shot here and show you what that looks like
