Surface Pro (5)

[nicholaslee]

i need to do presentations sometimes at client place so wifi is not always at option.

i wonder how much is the price difference for LTE

Why don't just use mobile Hotspot


I really wish they release a i5 16gb ram model

I also need my phone for work.

Data while on call is terribly slow

I have multi sim so this will replace my ipad for presentation

Does anyone here own the m3 version? Can you share the practical usage experience? Thanks.

 

[mystril]

No issues with M3. Mostly chrome, Spotify and Microsoft office.

Sometimes indie games or PS4 remote. Its a great laptop replacement.

Photoshop also can. Don't expect video editing to run smoothly.

Its the kind of laptop best for work, Starbucks, read books and etc. I enjoyed it.

I don't hoard data. I delete movies I watched. Why keep it? We're not going to watch it again most likely. Photos can put on Google cloud or other providers.

Battery life 7-8 at mid brightness.

For drawing and color?

 

[nicholaslee]

Dilemma donno want get this (Edu SG price w/warranty) or surface laptop (Amazon USA w/no warranty)


Both quite similar priced after adding the keyboard for pro..

Surface more mobility, laptop for screen estate.

Tbh surface is powerful enough to take on most conventional laptop.

The added for surface benefit is that its light and easy to do ad hoc discussions, on the go computing.

Add in a usb hub, dp to hdmi adapter, 24" monitor and a mouse and keyboard.. It's as good as a desktop

Good review bro.

Is the laptop upgradeable in any way eg. Can add memory?

All soldered surface mounted on for compactness.

There is no screw to even take it apart and the components are tiny.

3/4 of a surface is the battery.

Thanks!

Guess it till have a life of around 5 years before it goes out of date. Then again I've had my Macbook for 8 years and it's fine for what I do. Time for me to buy the SP.

Worth waiting for discount? Suspect new model next year with latest processors.

Hey guys, anyone here got experience cancelling orders for their SP from Microsoft Online Store? I placed an order this afternoon... they charged my debit card liao, now status is processing... afternoon that time still got the cancel button, now cancel button gone liaos... then i realise i got another dealer can get for me roughly 100+$ cheaper... am i screwed? T_T

 

[noyunet]

Any current promo/freebie for surface pro? At cef fair or harvey norman, challenger or online? Looking to get i7 8gb.

Saw previously got free signature keyboard, now still got? Tried searching online, can't find any good valid offers..

 

[vivalarave]

If you can afford to wait means you dont need it.

If you need it, you won't wait.

Chicken and egg question.

The correct question you should be asking yourself is with this investment whats the ROI.

Mine is a standard issue for the company laptop upgrade and it has upgraded my productivity.

No need print, just flip the keyboard to the back for discussion and checking, edit on the spot.

Open pdf with pinch zoom function.

Scroll documents with finger..

Battery can tarhan about 6 hours.
Light and small enough to chuck it into the bag and carry home to do some work or bring to meetings.

You can’t cancel when they’re shipping it, anyway you can always return it within 14 days, they’ll get SingPost to pickup from your address and it’s completely free.
