Great job on the review, thanks a lot! Could you perhaps do an animator's take on the Surface Go 2? Like doing a quick 1 or 2 secs sequence in CSP and share your thoughts on how did it fare?
Actually great idea I was planning on making and effects video on animating things like flickering flames, electricity and glowing light etc. This be perfect to try on the surface go 2!
All these drawing videos for the SG2, but nothing on what it was designed for: productivity (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Zoom, Teams, statistical software, etc)
Surface go 2 is a good device for those things but as a person who remembers Wacom overpricing their drawing tablets Surface was the first non expensive device that enable me to draw on a tablet like device. So I always viewed it productivity geared towards Art, but I do write my scrips in Word and OneNote.
Sure thing I have taken some notes with the pen in one note as well and it's actually really good. Since one note is highly optimized for surface there no lag and pen pressure is also excellent. Even when I use Windows ink to quickly name a layer in clip studio it really great on picking up the pen angle I'm holding it at as well.
Thank you and great question. So in the lap feeling is decent but can feel odd because the kickstand plus keyboard combo can make the kickstand become slightly irritating when on your legs. Now this problem isn't as bad as the Surface pro due to the lighter size of the go 2. So it is bearable, I'd give it a 7/10 for in lap feel.
@@C.Wilson mate, thank you so much for this info. I saw on your review u using CSP, and I thought it was allright. I'm planning to buy one of this basically for CSP and Fruit Loops usage... Did you ever tried to open a large file on CSP with it? Tried to use more powerful effects? If so, did it work? And do you think it can handle CSP and FL easily? By the way, you earned a subscribed bro. Cheers
@@taossodeacharumnome Thank you so much for the sub! 😀 Now for your question the more expensive model that I reviewed definitely is capable of handling a medium load of effects in csp but the problem I had is the more layers I worked with putting it more through it's paces it started to down since the processor isn't the best. It wasn't to a crawl but I definitely could notice but this was after having about 40 layers in csp flats, shadows, highlights and blur effects. Now for FL haven't tried my hand in that as of now but definitely look into to see but pretty confident the higher end surface go 2 could handle medium load of work. Heavy might be pushing it especially if you dock it up to something like a 4k 60 hz monitor.
@@C.Wilson thank you again Cedric. I still don't know about it, because I want do some 2D animation with CSP... Maybe it could not handle... I don't know... But anyway, thank you so much for helping me mate.
@@taossodeacharumnome no problem if you don't mind the size I feel like pro 6 or 7 would be the better buy especially better processor for almost same price of the high end go 2.
Thank you for the compliment! I always felt drawing is seen as hard but once you see the shapes that make a drawing it becomes a bit easier. Especially with time and practice.
For tablet experience it's ok it's not the smoothest experience although the 2004 update has helped. Overall experience is meh. Virtual keyboard slow to pop up in tablet mode sometimes and navigating through folders is not exactly touch friendly. The windows store is in desperate need of important apps so RUclips is not in the store, but there are few mobile games available. It needs a need makeover badly. There is one feature that I personally use, if you use the new chromium edge browser your able to install browser sites like Disney, RUclips, and VRV as an web app. I hope this answers your question, if you have anymore just let me know.
@@WaaromStijn I definitely will say you need the keyboard for a good experience. Untill their a major change with windows 10x comes in the near future. The surface pro & go line is 90% laptop and 10% tablet.
Thanks for this review, I know that there are many more but those help me to make a choice, and yours made me get one as a digital artist myself. Thank you 😄

@@C.Wilson That would be great, can't wait to watch it! Keep up the good work.

Hello,nice video,can you say something about handwriting ?It was really interesting to see how fast pen work Onenote.Thank for your attention

Great review man! Congrats! Quick question: how does it feel on your lap? Does it feel confortable, or weird on lap? Thank you in advance

I can't draw worth a crap. I love these videos just to watch people do this stuff ..... truly amazing to me.

good review!
Thank you so much!
How is the experience if you use it as a tablet? Can you download apps like RUclips and games? Or... Do you need to go to your browser?

Good
