There is a USB cable with a built in 5v to 9/12v converter selling in amazon.

So you can basically use any mobile phone PowerBank to double up as your surface power bank.

The price of xiaomi powerbank is so much cheaper than those 12v out there.

Got link?
If convert from 5v to 12v, will the current be the same?

I go dig out the link.

A typical 5v PowerBank can give out 5w and the surface consume ard 5w if you are doing basic surfing, heavy load will tap the internal battery.

That's a video in YouTube of a person having a homemade cable to charge his surface pro using a 5v PowerBank.

So it will be charging rather slowly but I think it is a good as a battery extender alternative to those $1xx 12v PowerBank.

Ok.

btw, my powerbank was only $60. Got it to jump start my car, then noticed that there's this cable for sp4. So it added the functionality of my powerbank. guess why not. haha

how to get it in Singapore??

Did they improve the packaging design yet? I still remember last time see some unboxing videos, some people didn't know the orientation so when open up the surface actually drop onto table.

I was thinking if is it this, but how to connect from the output plug to SP4?

Duno how the old package looks like, but now they have tapes to hold all the openings, thus not easy to drop out.

That's a good way to do it. The SP3 Pro packaging was notoriously bad IMO.

oic. anyway, these tapes can be 'reuse' quite a couple of times & they are still sticky.

Maybe those reviewers are too eager to open their new hoots, became careless while openings. I m guilty of that sometimes.

And you also won't know if you have bought a used set or not since there's no security seal over the box.

 

[evq]

true. but can tell if it is been opened before if look carefully.

Correct this one.

You need a forwarder.

Also you need male to female convertor and the magnetic cable end.

The guy who posted the 12v battery has the link to the cable.

Run battery stats.

You will see usage.

Anyone using this for software development? hows the battery life? eclipse, tomcat and MS SQL ?

PC show bundle still available anywhere?

if a normal PC can do it, then surface 4 surely can.

web development not really graphics intensive, probably if you ask if it runs solidworks/edge or Creo then perhaps will need some testing. I know it surely sucks to run solidworks on a system that uses integrated graphics. Parts ok, Assm die.

Suddenly, my windows store and apps all not working Zzz

Any fixes?
