Microsoft Surface Pro 6 (Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB), comments, reviews

I was a bit skeptical about ordering the Surface Pro 6 (8GB RAM, 2.6GHz i5, Windows 10 Home) because of it s size vs power. I didn t think a device so small could be as functional as a laptop or PC. It is for everything I do. I m not a gamer (that s what consoles are for, in my opinion), but I ll include some of the programs I use, that work better on this Surface Pro 6 than they did on my former PC (Asus MAXIMUS V GENE Z77, i7-3770, 16GB DDR3, Corsair 256 SSD, Windows 10 Ultimate) . Programs: MacXHD Video Converter, ConvertXtoDVD, Adobe Photoshop CS5, AutoCAD 2019 and Inventor 2019. The Surface I have is fan-less, and I haven t had any heat issued when using intense programs like converting videos, burning DVD s (with an external, USB DVD drive) nor whilst using Inventor creating 3D assemblies. The 12 inch screen will certainly suffice when surfing the net and doing simple tasks, however I use a 24 inch monitor while working via the mini display port. I would recommend the Surface Pen for tablet use, and a mouse when using for longer work periods. The Surface keyboard for the Surface series is all I need, but if you prefer you could easily use any bluetooth keyboard. I leave the power cable connected when working and the battery exceeds my needs when using as portable, I haven t timed it s drain frequency so I can t comment on the batter use under load. The only thing I would complain about it the lack of USB C, but that really isn t an issue since I don t own any USB C devices.

Awesome machine for designers photoshop illustrator and XD work amazing, i could install and play rather smoothly Xcom enemy unknown. The screen is super crisp and has a lot of contrast, the touch feature works okay but could be better. The battery last almost a whole work day You can either use the microsoft keyboard which gets dirty super fast or get a bluetooth keyboard The pen works awesome in photoshop The Microsoft surface pro 6 has the benneffit of using a complete operating system against the ipad which you can do a lot less with

I do feel as though this is a bit overpriced especially when you add in the pen, the keyboard, upgraded RAM Memory, as well as a protective case but it checks off most of my wishlist- fast, Win10, good battery life, great note taking pen, solid build, not too big and not too small (a little less weight will always be nice), great display. It has features that I probably will not even use but it is always nice to have. I use the pen mainly for note taking which does not disappoint. The pen is responsive and there are no problems with my palm touching the screen while writing. The keyboard is nice but you have to research protective cases that accommodate it being connected and that also allow full use of the great kickstand that the Surface has. The ports are limited (no usb-c as everyone knows) but I knew this going in and it does not affect my use. BOTTOMLINE- buy what suits your personal needs. There are cheaper alternatives that may lack some of the power or display quality size etc. but you may not need that stuff for your use and you can save some money- the Surface GO may be a good alternative. Also, there are always bundle deals with the keyboard and pen to look out for.

After reading the mixed and confusing reviews for the product I was seriously hesitating on taking this offer. Eventually decided to give it a go as I could return it in the worst case. And I m glad I purchased it as it came all in perfectly sealed factory box with the type cover inside. All the specs are in line with the item description. See the pictures for easy reference.

I bought this as I wanted something powerful that was also portable and light to carry. I bought the keyboard that goes with it, which is vital for using it like a computer. Didn t get the docking station. I love this Surface, it s fast and responsive, and it s very compact and easy to transport. The battery life lasts for quite a while just using basic functions such as MS Office tools and surfing the web. I haven t tried it yet with more power intense applications like Photoshop and Adobe Premier, but I assume it will last less long with these tools as they use more processing power. All in all very happy with this purchase and the performance. It was more than a standard laptop, but the portability, reviews, and processor memory specs were better and more robust.

First it arrived Christmas Eve, 3 days before promised! Next I was able to successfully set it up! And the Surface talks to the keyboard! I bought one from Best Buy that only spoke Spanish and the replacement wouldn t talk to the keyboard! Returned for a refund to Best Buy and I couldn t be happier with this one from Amazon!

I use this for research, writing, some Netflix Prime Video, and backup to a work computer with Office apps. This was an upgrade for me over an Acer tablet also running Win10. Amazed. It does everything I ask it to and quickly. Screen and trackpad are easy and bugless to navigate. Some bloatware, but it can be deleted. Battery is amazing. Cameras on it are like midrange cellphone good. Speakers are not bad at all for their size, not tinny. No complaints.

ve owned the original Pro (not great) the Pro4 and now the Pro6. If you have a Pro 4 then it s probably not really worth upgrading since they STILL did not add USB-C even though the 6 has the newer CPU and a few minor updates. I did only because I gave my Pro4 to my wife. I use these for presentations and they are GREAT for overseas travel and layovers. The stand is good and they are plenty powerful for beyond basics. Remember these are full pc s so of course they are not going to get the battery life of a tablet but the gain in the 6 is good.

ve had a few tablets and this is probably my favorite one. It s very versatile and not only that, I feel that I don t even need to keep my phone on my person when I m at home. Though, if I can somehow receive text messages to my tablet from my phone that d be even better. Not necessary, but better. I mainly bought it because I wanted to get back into drawing and work with art digitally but the pen would have to be a separate purchase for another time. Other than that, this is amazing especially if you like to take your work with you. It s thin enough to fit in your bag!

I bought this from amazon warehouse with an additional 20 off special for a great price. i was expecting a more used device but the pro 6 came in excellent condition including the original box. wow that was a surprise. the keyboard cover did not look like anyone opened it. i checked the cpu z app and found out my ssd was made by samsung so somehow i got a fast ssd instead of the toahiba ssd. the 8gb ram was also a samsung so wow everything about this pro 6 was excellent including the components. my daughter has the pro 7 and i couldn t tell the difference between the two in terms of power or responsiveness. thanks amazon warehouse i could ve got a dud but got a stud.
