    I was looking for something about video editing on the SP9 and I found your video.
    I have rarely been as entertained and informed by a video as effectively and as engagingly as this one. I subbed immediately. Wow - what in informative and entertaining style you have. I love it.
    I really loved when you forgot who you are ......Being from multiple places myself - I have the same challenges, haha.
    I am 100% from everywhere I am from!!
    I am NOT half anything.
    Haha!!
    The SP9 is my favourite device for on-the-road computing.
    It fills the need for a quality tablet while also being a powerhouse PC.
    I have it connected to 2 monitors and many other devices at home, and when I go to Starbucks or somewhere else, I have this powerful PC or Netflix machine just a few taps away.
    I wondered about battery life, but because it can be charged by USB-C, I have a power-bank which can recharge the battery one full charge, so I have 10hrs of battery where ever I am so long as I remember to charge it before I go out - I have forgotten to do that before, but the battery had saved me haha./
    I love using it, and I seem to love it more and more every time.
    I have the i7 and would NOT go back to using an i5 ever again. When you want the power - it is nice to have it, but I know I don't need it all the time.
    It is like having a fast car - most of the time, you drive at the speed limit, but when you want to overtake to get out of a situation - it is good to know you have the power to do so and get back to that speed limit just a few seconds later. When I have a bit of editing or some voice-over to process or some pics to export to batch process - I like having the power, but I don't have to do that too much.
    Additionally - it is a little bit of vanity because I know that the i5 and i7 perform very similarly actually - if I had the i5 and my machine became slow, I would wish I had the i7. Having the i7 and the machine slows down, I can console myself that I have the fastest they offer, haha.
    I am sure I am not the only one who feels that.
    BTW - I use it with a portable screen as well, and it works flawlessly. I can have CNN split screen with the BBC playing on an external screen (yes, I listen to both news channels at the same time) while I am creating a ppt on the main screen with Edge and 25 tabs open....with Spotify playing some relaxing background music - listening on my headphones (a bit of amultiple stimulus source geek).
    It is awesome and doesn't skip a beat.
    Thanks for the video - I agree with all the points you made - My experience bears them out.

    The new Surface forgo the SD card slot which is a disappointment. Also pretty expensive when RAM and storage go up. This is why start to look at Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 for my next 2 in 1.

    • @MOBHouse

      Right? Like... They gave us 2 USB C ports, that's great because maybe you might not need a USB Hub at all. But then, no SD card slot...

    Informative and funny video, couldn't ask for more! One question do you think that a laptop like this has longevity? Would it last (7-8years) if it gets good care, last time I had a laptop after 3-4 years of use they seamed to underperform a lot (this was 5 years ago).

      @huzen133 the Duet 5i is only 12.5" and the ram is DDR4 while this is DDR5. It also doesn't come with Thunderbolt ports. If you're working with the device, all these features make a big enough difference to justify the price difference.

  • @michaelpan2972

    Is the 8gb ram sufficient for regular tasks? Or do you recommend to upgrade to the 16gb? This would be my secondary laptop. Meant for surfing, office, Netflix and videos

    • @MOBHouse
      @MOBHouse  Год назад +1

      8GB is decent. But not great. Unless you open more than 20 tabs in google chrome, you should be okay. These are high speed DDR5 RAM, so that does make a lil difference.
      For an ultimate work device, I would opt for the mid range model with 16GB of RAM. For your purposes, the i5 vs i7 upgrade might not make that much difference, but RAM definitely will.
      Once more, I need to highlight that Microsoft Surface laptops are premium work laptops that are more expensive than most work laptops with the same specs mainly because of the overall build quality and ergonomics. It's more of a - if you like how it feels (and you should try it out in a shop), you will like it when you carry with you for work.

      @RemofRenaissance Год назад

      obviously 16GB is better but I have the 8GB Surface Pro 9 and it has been working fine for me. It runs as fast as my work machine which is 16GB although I use Microsoft Edge browser and mainly do productivity work (Excel reporting, Powerpoint, Power BI etc).

    • @MOBHouse
      @MOBHouse  Год назад +3

      No offense to Fujitsu but the last time I've seen a Fujitsu laptop in Malaysia was...
      Never.
      One of the issues with work laptops is in its reliability and after sales service to shorten downtimes in case of mishaps (which happens regardless of brand and product)
      I would advice against buying something that does not have great track record with that.
      Also, lightweight while being convenient does not = quality. Quite a few of the plastic chassis laptops I've reviewed is around that weight. They are ok for their price point of around RM3-4K but I really wouldn't spend more for them.
      The other contenders I would look at are potentially more premium work laptops from Dell, Lenovo and HP.
