J.Y. Demir psychology of students and people In general is interesting. For a long time, I’ve been using a laptop from 2009 that’s super outdated and slow. My friend told me maybe one of the reasons you don’t like writing your papers and doing web based things is because you don’t like Your laptop therefore you don’t like working on it. I thought that was silly at first but then I got this exact pad and ha can you guess what happened? I am always looking forward to doing assignments , st least most of the time lol
for left handed user. go to file/option/display/un check navigation bar appear on left. after that the whole navigation bar will in your right-hand side.
Yay lefty! By the way, try searching for anything you wrote, and prepare for mind blown. No matter how badly you wrote, it somehow finds it. That to me is the most useful thing.
I’m a freshmen in college and needed a computer (obviously) but didn’t want to carry so many unnecessary binders and juggle so many notes like I did in high school which was a complete mess but still wanted to physically write my notes down because I remember things better and it’s easier. Just bought the matte black sp6 because of you, thanks for the good detailed video! Very helpful!
I just watched a ton of reviews from big tech reviewers and then I found yours. It honestly is the best and most helpful review out of everyone. It's so good I just bought a surface pro 6 just because of your video.
Apple software makes virtually no sense for an average student. The only thing Apple is good for is people who make/edit videos. Windows is 1000x better so I would say the surface pro!
Thanks for the video. You really gave a practical demonstration of how productive you can be with the surface pro. Your video is much more useful than the larger reviewers.
Thank you, hey FYI PowerPoint has screen capture option. Click insert tab and you can use your headphones to record your voice. Keep going, anything computer related is a plus.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. I'm also in mechanical engineering and I do all my math notes exactly like you. It is extremely helpful to color code so that I can see my steps when solving a problem.
Being left-handed is like belonging to a “harassed” minority 😂 You can never know wether it’s a good idea to buy a product which is mainly conceived for right handed people. I’m glad the situation is improving lately.
so glad people started to see how cool one note and surface are, i have a surface pro 2017 and i just love it, it's really life changing and i must say this device is much more than a tablet for note taking in school, even later when you start working professionally you can install all your professional softwares and do real work with it.
i already use the surface pro for my college notes too but i love watching these videos for more note taking inspiration! you can do SOOOO much with lecture notes with the surface pro and you can set it up like a tablet PLUS as a laptop. a grade saver 😭♥️
I'm coming up on my 5 year anniversary at work and can get an IPad Pro or Surface Pro 6. I was leaning toward the Surface since the IPad doesn't give you much access to the file system and this tipped the scale. See? You can teach an old dog new tricks. :-) And I just went back to school so your note taking tips are very handy.
Awww thank you so much 💛!!:) I think the main I reason I picked the surface was because you get all the benefits an iPad gives you (it can be a tablet) but functions like a computer!! Which is so cool. I think you’re really going to love it
I love your personality I was skeptical too with the SP6 I’ve had my MacBook Air 2011 and now the keyboard is messed up I have an iPhone my thing was that I’ve grew up with windows used to both software I think if iPad can convert into an OS like a computer tablet then yeah I’ll take for notability and good notes in the end it’s just notes without lefty ink smears I hate carrying so much stuff in one especially for medical majors
I didn't mention this in my previous comment on your latest video, but it's more fitting to put it here in this video: you were the main reason why I was convinced to buy a SP6 and not an iPad Pro... I definitely do not regret it! Can't wait to use it for nursing school 🙂
Hey awesome review! I was wondering how your notes were so neat. So is "zooming in" the way to write notes on Surface Pro? I was trying to write notes on my Surface Pro 6 without zooming at all on ruled paper, and was wondering why my notes aren't neat and appear "jittery". I thought something was wrong with my display digitizer which got me a little worried and paranoid.
HI Miss Mads, the app is called OneNote Web Clipper. Sorry about the misinformation. Anyway, with this app you can clip the whole article or just a part of the article. When you open the app you decide whether to clip the whole article or a region. If you select region then you can just take a specific part of the article by selecting that part you want to clip. It will send it directly to OneNote in your open Notebook and Section. it will create a new page for your web clipping. From there you can cut and paste to wherever you want to put it.
Just saw your video, the hand rejection works for both lefties and righties. There is an app that you can use when researching on the web, it's called Web Clipper, works with any browser.
Is there any “distance” feel when you are writing? Struggling between iPad Pro and this coz iPad Pro seems write more like “writing” and have no gap between...
I'm not sure if you know this, but on your Pen there is one more tiny Button close to the tip. If you hold it while you "draw" it's like the select Action in OneNote. Really useful in many situations and makes it easier a lot.
Oops my bad OneNote Web Clipper is a browser extension, not an app. I'm an old guy, I get confused. So when you install it , it will show up where your extensions are on your web browser.
This is really useful. I'm not a student, but I'm a writer and I'm looking for a device to work on my novel. I've been considering the Surface Pro 6 because of the 2-in-1 functionality. I also really like the Alcantara keyboard. I love writing with a pen on Notebook paper, especially for brainstorming. I love to color code my novel outline & use highlighters. The MSP6 seems way more efficient. What configuration do you have? I'm considering the i5 8GB 256SSD version. How much additional storage can the memory be expanded through the micro SD card? It's okay if you don't know. Down the line, I plan to get a laptop which would be good for 4k video editing, but it will take me a while to save up for it. I want a fun & light 2-in-1 in the meantime, which will serve as a secondary device later. I'm really impressed with the MSP6 so far!
I know I'm kinda late, but I starting highschool and my highschool uses surface pro's so I clicked on this video for lots of tips. I really enjoyed this! Thank you! By the way, your notes look so neat and cute!
This video was honestly SUPER useful! I'm looking for a new laptop to get bc the one I currently have isn't working too well and it made finals week wayyy harder than it needed to be sooo I'm definitely thinking of getting the surface pro! I really like all of the options that one note has and I definitely think that it will come in handy when I go back to college in August!
iPad is the better tablet, but is hindred by the iPadOS, because it is a mobile OS. The Surface is a worse tablet, but is a fully fledged pc with a desktop OS not different from a Windows10 desktop.
Do you have a pc in addition to the surface pro or is that all you use for school (like typing reports and other stuff)? Or is your sp just for note taking ?
@@dollface1992 Well imho for most university students any surface is more than good enough so a PC isn't needed, for many even the GO would suffice. Now Engineering fields students might actually need something more heavyweight (either instead or along with the Surface) for eg solidworks and the likes or whatever else. They probably would also need something less thin and more breathable to avoid thermal throttling and an early device death as well as a dedicated GPU. But even they could still just rely on a i5 8gb surface, in a pinch and if they must, even if it isn't the optimal device for such workloads. Most students just need to use programs like word, Powerpoint, onenote, a browser eg Edge, a simple calculator and perhaps Excel at most. Few sectors have greater demands than that. So those basic jobs that most do could actually be done even on a celeron with 4gb RAM with minimal frustration. I mean my PC is an ancient core 2 duo 8xxx with 4gb DDR 2 RAM plus a really shitty GT 630 and I can do even simple photoshop, visual studio, anything "office", play FHD movies and up to AAA gaming in just HD with carefully adjusted options, although some stuff like huge PDF are slow enough to cause me frustration.
Im thinking about getting the surface for school but I have a question. My friend has an iPad and if we got worksheets she takes a photo of it and it immediately scans the sheet and transfer it on her App. Is this also possible on OneNote? 😅
I have a question: Do you take these notes during your lecture or do you take these notes after the lecture when studying? Basically, when do you take notes like this?
Well I'm trying to change from paper notes to digital notes and I was thinking over the surface pro 6 or surface book. What do you think is the better buy?
It depends on your preference. I don’t know a lot of about the surface book 😅 but I’m a college student and the pro was cheaper and more portable and still awesome so that’s what made me go for it
Few doubts regarding the note taking... How reliable are digital notes? Will I lose them anytime? Is it more time consuming to take digital notes than paper notes? I heard the surface pen is jittery at times and not as smooth. Is that so?
I have owned both. I'd say that the Surface Book is a great laptop that you'll occasionally use as a separated tablet. It's quite large and heavy to take with you. The Surface Pro 6 (or any Surface Pro), is both a large tablet AND a very satisfactory laptop that you will use easily BOTH ways and you will always find it easy to carry with you and to use either way. The Pro's keyboard has a much nicer touch for typing, too. Also, if this matters to you -- I almost never used the Surface Book while lying on the sofa or in bed. The Surface Pro, though, is fine that way! Its folding kickstand is great to prop up the tablet on your belly. I've even been known to use the kickstand to "hang" the tablet safely on a towel bar in the bathroom to provide music while I soak in a hot bath 😊
Nancy Lindsay Thank you so much. I did some research myself and narrowed it down to surface pro or surface go. Is the surface pro worth it or is the surface go more than enough? Your answer will help me decide
Love your content , going to forward your video to all our existing and future prospective surface buyers - pocket pc software services , Bangalore - india
Would it be a good choice for a med student? Like I amn thinking between Ipad pro and surface. not sure which one to chose. liked the Video! Keep up with the good work.
Hmmm... I guess it depends on the person. I've seen alot of med students using ipad pro's but I'm not one to talk about it because I'm not a med student :(
Thanks for the video. Magyatar, I'm a Nephrology fellow and I recently switched from using an iPad Pro to a Surface 6. While both devices are amazing and the smaller Pro is more portable, it boiled down to how I use my device (and the fact I now have a Galaxy Note 9). The Surface is my primary study tool with all my books/articles, notes, and mind maps on it. I also use it to access the hospital EMR remotely. Naturally, it also serves as a secondary computer. And that's really what it boils down to. It's a real computer that is fully compatible with everything that now has good battery life and is fanless (base model). The mobile versions of the VPN software of our EMR (Citrix to access Epic if you're curious) as well as the mobile version of my mindmapping software (an invaluable tool for me when it comes to studying or prepping presentations/brainstorming) aren't as fully featured as the iOS counterparts. They are always workarounds but, considering they cost nearly the same, I decided to switch to the Surface Pro. But really, in the end, you can't go wrong with either. Costco has a 3-month return policy by the way so you can try that ;) I hope that helps.
I am stuck on what to get someone plz give a good reason why to get this over the iPad Pro since I already have a computer but want Something portable and good for taking notes
I ordered it yesterday but now I'm afraid of laptop theft on campus/dorm/anywhere possible...when you brought SP6 to college does it draws a lot of attention? It's a really expensive device. Btw thanks for the video :)
great question (: and for me, at least at my college, WAY more people have an SP6 then any other kind of laptop, it dominates campus. So I would say no. However, your college might be different so I'd definitely be careful about it
@@MadeleineFritz That's nice 😭 Yeah I'm gonna be careful about it since only working professionals are using surface line here (*I think I'm gonna be the first student with a surface). Hopefully it won't get stolen by anyone. Thank you for the reply :)
Great review. Retailers where I live are selling the 128GB model for NZ$1500 so may wait for the Labour Day and Black Friday sales in October. This device wins big in being ultra portable and would be perfect for school and using it on the bus/train without the hassle of carting a 15' laptop. May look into getting one later this year as my HP laptop is 4 years old. While it's no good for video editing and gaming, I do have a custom desktop PC that can do this.
I'm wondering if there is an option. To write with pen and then convert your writing to typed format. Im a counsellor and I constantly take client notes with pen and paper and then have to type it up on a data base which is very time consuming.
I use OneNote since 2013! From my first phone Lumia 520 to Lumia 640 XL, and now even on my Android phone i.e., Mi A1, it works perfectly :) P.S. Nice eyeshade :p
So wheres the best place to pick one up at. Directly from the Microsoft website or amazon? Also which one do I get? SP 2019 with which specs or variants (if there are any)? I’m a student myself so I’ll pretty much need one likes yours I think...
wonderful work flow... thanks for sharing how well OneNote works for you as well. Didn't come looking for insights on OneNote so it's a very happy bonus. I'm hunting experiences from people actually using tablets as, well, tablets. People who don't think of the pen as a "cute gimmick" the way 99%of reviewers seem to. You clearly get the whole value of pen input devices. I'm virtually sold on an SP6 (better battery life over the SP7) but have one last detail I'm looking to find feedback and that is comparing using a 2n1 flippable VS a dedicated detachable tablet like a Surface Pro. It's been surprising how difficult it is to sleuth that out. Anyway, thanks, I know your video is about a year old but it was perfect. PS: I'm an old broken down mathematician and am going to use the tablet to refresh my now mostly feeble mind and get back into my research just for the fun of it all. Only been 25yrs since I solved differential equations using Bessel functions. so weeeee... OH, kudos on using colored text in equation solving. They are also great saving time rewriting as you reduce or manipulate your equations. Each color used an represented related changes. Cuts down errors in rewriting with each chafe as well as saves page space.
I am 29 and am going back to college this spring! I just bought the Surface Pro 7 and came across your video for note taking, and it was very thorough and informative! Thank you!!
@@MadeleineFritz I can't organize myself with normal paper because a tend to loose pages so the surface really helped me having everything organized to study for tests. And I have teachers who change the text on the blackboard ever 5 minutes and change the position of the text or forget to write something down and then write it in a completely wrong position so with a digital notebook you can organize that mess way easier than with paper.
Thank you so much!!! I already had the surface pro 6 and KNEW it would be great for school. I just enrolled. But your guide actually helped me with HOW to take notes and where. I'm so grateful. Thanks again!!
@@MadeleineFritz hey can you please tell me how long do the tips last for the surface pen and is there a cheap way of replacing the tips once they stop working. thnx

I'm stuck between the Ipad pro and the surface for college and this has me leaning towards the surface. Thanks for the nice video.

Get the surface pro
Apple software makes virtually no sense for an average student. The only thing Apple is good for is people who make/edit videos. Windows is 1000x better so I would say the surface pro!
@Emad Ahmed apple is limited to it's ios where windows has so much more capability (ex. programming, multitasking).
Thanks for the video. You really gave a practical demonstration of how productive you can be with the surface pro. Your video is much more useful than the larger reviewers.

The mobile versions of the VPN software of our EMR (Citrix to access Epic if you're curious) as well as the mobile version of my mindmapping software (an invaluable tool for me when it comes to studying or prepping presentations/brainstorming) aren't as fully featured as the iOS counterparts. They are always workarounds but, considering they cost nearly the same, I decided to switch to the Surface Pro. But really, in the end, you can't go wrong with either. Costco has a 3-month return policy by the way so you can try that ;) I hope that helps.

Can you lean on the screen while writing with the pen? Like can you rest your hand on it or will the screen move all over?
hi i have a question how can i read a kindle book on my surface pro 6.
I am stuck on what to get someone plz give a good reason why to get this over the iPad Pro since I already have a computer but want Something portable and good for taking notes
I ordered it yesterday but now I'm afraid of laptop theft on campus/dorm/anywhere possible...when you brought SP6 to college does it draws a lot of attention? It's a really expensive device. Btw thanks for the video :)
great question (: and for me, at least at my college, WAY more people have an SP6 then any other kind of laptop, it dominates campus. So I would say no. However, your college might be different so I'd definitely be careful about it
@@MadeleineFritz That's nice 😭 Yeah I'm gonna be careful about it since only working professionals are using surface line here (*I think I'm gonna be the first student with a surface). Hopefully it won't get stolen by anyone. Thank you for the reply :)
Thanks for this! Was deciding wether to get this or surface book 2 but, this helped me a lot.
is it metal pen tip or rubber or plastic ? 🙄 can we also use pen instead of finger for touching
College ready😊
Great review. Retailers where I live are selling the 128GB model for NZ$1500 so may wait for the Labour Day and Black Friday sales in October. This device wins big in being ultra portable and would be perfect for school and using it on the bus/train without the hassle of carting a 15' laptop. May look into getting one later this year as my HP laptop is 4 years old. While it's no good for video editing and gaming, I do have a custom desktop PC that can do this.
That's really helpful ty '
I'm confused about buying surface pro x or surface pro 6:(
DO You have pen reccomendations cheaper than renissance pens for surface pro ??
Very nice video thx but how can you write with that grip? 😂😂😂😂
Awesome tutorial. Think i'm going to get this over the new ipad pro
Can you explain what is different when you used a manual pen and digital pen?
Are you using any screen protector? If you do, is it matte or clear ones?
I'm wondering if there is an option. To write with pen and then convert your writing to typed format. Im a counsellor and I constantly take client notes with pen and paper and then have to type it up on a data base which is very time consuming.
I think there is. Just search it up on the Internet.
What are the specs of your surface pro 6?
Can you type (on the keyboard) and write (with the stylus) in the same place in Onenote?
Marian Tomescu yes
I just had 2 quick questions. Are you using Onenote or Onenote 2016 and are these paid applications?
Bhavneet Saini the newest version of one note. And mine was free through my school but I’m not sure if it’s free when u get windows
If you draw a Normal distribution (aka bell-curve), will One Note automatically make it properly symmetrical?
I am looking for native english speaker for freinds)
Love onenote..... on an iPhone iPad and a normal laptop too.
It is a great tool
Yes!!! My video today is gonna be comparing the surface pro, iPad, and MacBook :)
I use OneNote since 2013!
From my first phone Lumia 520 to Lumia 640 XL, and now even on my Android phone i.e., Mi A1, it works perfectly :)
P.S. Nice eyeshade :p
So wheres the best place to pick one up at. Directly from the Microsoft website or amazon? Also which one do I get? SP 2019 with which specs or variants (if there are any)? I’m a student myself so I’ll pretty much need one likes yours I think...
wonderful work flow... thanks for sharing how well OneNote works for you as well. Didn't come looking for insights on OneNote so it's a very happy bonus.
I'm hunting experiences from people actually using tablets as, well, tablets. People who don't think of the pen as a "cute gimmick" the way 99%of reviewers seem to. You clearly get the whole value of pen input devices.
I'm virtually sold on an SP6 (better battery life over the SP7) but have one last detail I'm looking to find feedback and that is comparing using a 2n1 flippable VS a dedicated detachable tablet like a Surface Pro. It's been surprising how difficult it is to sleuth that out.
Anyway, thanks, I know your video is about a year old but it was perfect.
PS: I'm an old broken down mathematician and am going to use the tablet to refresh my now mostly feeble mind and get back into my research just for the fun of it all. Only been 25yrs since I solved differential equations using Bessel functions. so weeeee...
OH, kudos on using colored text in equation solving. They are also great saving time rewriting as you reduce or manipulate your equations. Each color used an represented related changes. Cuts down errors in rewriting with each chafe as well as saves page space.
I have a surface pro and whenever I drag my hand across the screen while writing, it reacts. Any tips ?
Do you edit your UA-cam videos on your surface pro? :) you’re so cute , new sub over here 💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️💕
Hello, I have someone selling the pro 6 the spec below
Intel i7 8650U
16gb ram
512Gb ssd
type cover
Stylus
900.00 is it a good deal now.
Which version of onenote are you using? cheers
What’s the name of the note app?
Thank You so much for an amazing review!!
Now, I am convinced too. Keep making reviews😊☺
Keep going on...
Can I open pdf file and make edite in it ??
Привет! Ты супер милая и интересная. Спасибо за видео!
Hi, it’s a really nice review! I was wondering if OneNote was free?:)
yes it it :)
I am 29 and am going back to college this spring! I just bought the Surface Pro 7 and came across your video for note taking, and it was very thorough and informative! Thank you!!
I just bought a surface pro 7 and when I click on top of the pen it takes me to “white board.” How did you get it to go to onenote?
You should be able to assign shortcuts in settings (settings for the computer, not for OneNote)
Alanabelleee yup found out a few days ago, thanks. The only problem is that I cant get the pic to the page I am working on, it goes to a new page?
This was great, I am left handed myself and was wondering if I would be able to take notes on it without my hand getting in the way
I have a surface pro but it can’t connect to the internet. Do you think I’d be able to use it or do I need WiFi capability for school
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
What are you studying?
baby g mechanical engineering! Maybe switching to software engineering.
I write the notes exactly like you do with the same grid line zoomed in :), I my opinion if you zoom out after it looks cleaner than the big grid
IKR
@@MadeleineFritz I can't organize myself with normal paper because a tend to loose pages so the surface really helped me having everything organized to study for tests. And I have teachers who change the text on the blackboard ever 5 minutes and change the position of the text or forget to write something down and then write it in a completely wrong position so with a digital notebook you can organize that mess way easier than with paper.
Nice job on the video. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!! I already had the surface pro 6 and KNEW it would be great for school. I just enrolled. But your guide actually helped me with HOW to take notes and where. I'm so grateful. Thanks again!!
thank you so much !!!
@@MadeleineFritz hey can you please tell me how long do the tips last for the surface pen and is there a cheap way of replacing the tips once they stop working. thnx
